How products are organized on your site

Products are organized in two parts: store pages and product details pages.

How do store pages work?

Store pages are browsable collections of products. The page includes key details about each product, usually the title, price, and if it's sold out. Clicking on a specific product opens its details page.

You can have multiple store pages on your site, and you can customize the style of your store pages.

Tip: Use Product Quick View to display additional details without having a customer leave the store page.

How do product details pages work?

Every product in a store page has its own details page, which includes more images, product variant dropdown menus, and a buy button.

Product details pages are sub-pages of a store page. You can customize the style of your product details pages.

Step 1: Add a store page

How you add a store page depends on your site’s version of Squarespace.

Version 7.1
Version 7.0

To add a store page:

Open the Pages panel.
Click ➕.
Depending on what you're selling, click Products, Services, or Group Events, then click Store at the top of the window.
Select a store layout.

If your site already has a store page, you’re sent to a page asking you to choose to add a new store page or a new product category.

You can add multiple store pages in version 7.1, but we recommend adding all of your products to a single store page. Then add product categories to automatically organize products into filtered pages that appear in your store’s navigation. Use page sections to add more content to your store page.

To add a store page:

Open the Pages panel.
Click ➕, then select Store or Products from the page menu.
Add a page title, then press Enter.

You can also click that appears when you hover over the page title to customize your page's settings.

Tip: To sell your products exclusively to site members, add Member Sites and move your store page into your gated content.

Step 2: Add a product

After creating at least one store page, you can start adding products.

Note:

Ensure your products comply with Section 1.2 of our Product Specific Terms.

If Squarespace Payments is your payment solution, ensure your products comply with Section 3.8 of our Squarespace Payments terms.

If you're accepting payments with Stripe or PayPal, ensure your products meet PayPal's Acceptable Use guidelines and don't appear on Stripe's list of prohibited businesses.

What kind of product types can I add to my store?

You can choose from these main product types when adding a new product:

Service products: Classes, consultations, events, or any other service you offer. Unlike physical goods, service products aren't shipped to customers, so they don't need shipping methods or a shipping address at checkout. These can be a one-time purchase, or a subscription.
Physical products: Merchandise, apparel, and any other physical goods. These can be a one-time purchase or a subscription. If you sell physical products, you'll need to add at least one shipping or local pickup option to your store.
Download products: Ebooks, audio files, and any other digital content you sell. When a customer purchases this type of product, they're sent a download link that's active for 24 hours after the link is first clicked.
Gift cards: Gift cards are unique digital codes that recipients can use as payment in your online store.

You can also turn any physical or service product into a subscription.

Are there other product types I can add?

In addition to service, physical, download, and gift card product types, you can offer the following:

Appointments: Create a Scheduling page so customers can book time with you.
Membership: Create a Member Site to offer gated content to customers that sign up.
Video on Demand (only available on version 7.1): Create a Videos page and a Member Site to sell pay-to-view videos.

Step 3: Add product details

When you create your first product, add the product's name, image, price, and quantity before you can add other details.

Tip: After you add an image, you can click Generate to use AI to help you come up with other product details.

The product composer is organized into these sections:

Details
Forms
Images
Inventory
Fulfillment
Organization
Selling Tools

Add GTIN and MPN codes to optimize products for Google Shopping

Global trade item numbers (GTINs) are numbers that uniquely identify a product in the global supply chain. For example, every can of Coca Cola has a barcode containing the same GTIN that tells inventory management systems what the item is and where it came from.

Similarly, manufacturer part numbers (MPNs) identify component parts of a larger product. If you are a reseller of packaged goods, adding these numbers to your physical products can help your performance in search results and on third-party selling platforms like Google Shopping.

GTINs can be licensed from GS1 US, a supply chain standards organization. MPNs are issued by original product manufacturers.

Fulfillment

Selling Tools

Can I edit product details on the Squarespace App?

In the app, you can edit these details:

Add variants (iOS only)
Weight and dimensions (iOS only)
Description
On sale
Price
Product name
SKU
GTIN
MPN
Status
Track stock

To add or edit other details, edit your store on a computer.

When you're done, save the product.

Hover over Save and click Publish to publish the product to your store page. This sets the product as available for purchase.

Schedule a product to publish later

Instead of publishing a product right away, you can schedule it to appear on your site at a later time. This is a great option if you release new products periodically and want to promote them at the same time. For example, if you offer multiple summer yoga retreats and want to promote them in the spring.

Scheduled products have a “Scheduled” status in the Product editor and Products panels. On the product’s scheduled date, the status changes to “Visible.”

If you've already published a product, you can still schedule it to publish later.

To schedule a new product:

Hover over Save and click Schedule.
Set a date and time.
Click Apply.

Note: There may be a lag time of several seconds between when the product is scheduled and when it appears in your store.

How do time zones affect when a scheduled product is published?

The scheduled date and time are based on your time zone, not a visitor’s local time. To ensure your products publish when you want them to, review your Language and region settings.

After you've completed all fields, tap Save or ✓. You'll be prompted to publish the product so it's visible, or you can save it as hidden.

You can also schedule products in the app.

Duplicate a product

You can duplicate a physical or service product to quickly create and customize a new, similar product. Click ••• at the top of the product editor and click the Duplicate icon.

Delete a product

Computer
iOS Squarespace app
Android Squarespace app

Deleting a store page removes all the store's products from your inventory. To permanently delete one product, click ••• at the top of the product editor and click the trash can icon. You can also click ••• next to the product in the Products panel, then click Delete.

To permanently delete a product, tap the product in the Inventory list, then scroll down and tap Delete. Tap Yes to confirm.

To permanently delete a product, tap the product in the Inventory list, then tap ••• in the top-right corner. Tap Delete, then tap Delete again to confirm.

Style the store page

You can customize your Products page with your site's style options.

Can I style the shopping cart icon?

The shopping cart icon shows the number of items in a customer's cart, brings customers to a cart summary, and leads to the checkout page.

How your shopping cart icon displays depends on which version of Squarespace your site is on.

Version 7.1
Version 7.0

The shopping cart icon displays by default, even when the shopper has no items in their cart. Edit your site header to disable it or change its design.

You can style the cart in some templates.

When a customer adds a product to their cart, the shopping cart button appears. Some templates, like Brine, display the shopping cart button when the cart is empty.

If the shopping cart button doesn't appear on your site, ensure Express Checkout is disabled and check that the cart isn't hidden.

Can I disable checkout or pause my online store?

No. You can’t disable checkout or hide the add to cart button in version 7.1. To take a break from selling, you can:

Enable product waitlists and set your product quantities to zero. This way, you’ll continue to capture interest in your offerings for when you’re ready to sell again.
Move your store page out of your navigation and hide it behind a password.

Can I add any additional information to my products?

Yes. You can add additional information and content to a product details page to enhance the page's layout, drive sales, and share important policies with customers before they check out.

Is there a limit on how many products I can add?

Yes. Product limits depend on your site’s version, and the method you use to add products to your store.

Products: In version 7.1, you can add up to 10,000 products per store page. In version 7.0, the limit is 200. Hidden products count toward this limit.
Variants: Each product can have 250 variants, images, and SKUs, whether added through the product editor or the .csv importer.

Are there any character limits for product information fields?

Yes. There are character limits on these fields:

Categories: 25 characters
Product names: 200 characters
SKUs: 20 characters
Tags: 80 characters

Is there a file size limit on product images?

Yes. Product images should be smaller than 5MB.

Is there a file size limit on download products?

Yes. Download product files can't exceed 300MB.

Is there a price limit on products?

Yes. A product’s price can’t exceed 1,000,000 in any currency.

Can I add a limited availability label to a product?

Yes. When a product falls below an inventory threshold, you can display a label next to the product on the store page, product blocks, summary blocks, and product details page.

I sell clothing. How do I add size charts to my products?

Create a size chart in a third-party program, upload the file, and link to it from your product descriptions.

Can customers buy multiple service products?

Yes. If you sell classes or workshops, check Let customers buy multiple service products in your checkout settings so customers can buy multiple service products at the same time. By default, customers can only buy one service product at a time.

I want to offer sliding scale pricing.

There's no built-in way to offer pay-what-you-want or sliding scale pricing, but you can use product variants to create a similar experience. Create a variant option called Sliding scale, and name the variants after suggested currency amounts. Ensure the cost of each variant matches the currency amount it's named after. To limit the number of sliding scale spots you offer, set a stock limit.
