Move assets from other platforms into Squarespace to keep all of your content and data in one place.

You can import and export content, products, and contacts to and from your Squarespace site.

Importing copies content onto your Squarespace site from another site. Exporting copies your Squarespace site's content to use on a new platform.

Importing products is available on Basic, Core, Plus, Advanced, Business, Commerce Basic, and Commerce Advanced plans. To learn more, visit Choosing the right Squarespace plan.

Import sources

We support content imports from:

• WordPress, Blogger, and Tumblr
• Squarespace 5 (version 7.0 sites only)

If your Squarespace site uses Commerce, you can import products from:

• Shopify, Etsy, and Big Cartel
• A .csv file

Note: Squarespace isn't optimized for importing content between Squarespace sites except when importing from Squarespace 5 to Squarespace 7.0. Importing content from one Squarespace 7.0 or 7.1 site into another Squarespace 7.0 or 7.1 site may cause broken image links and other issues.

Import and export content

When importing blog content, Squarespace generally imports post content, comments, and images. We'll attempt to preserve post URLs. To import content:

1. Open the Import & export content panel.
2. Click Import.
3. Select your import source.
4. Enable the imported pages (content imports only).
5. Move pages with imported content to the main navigation (optional).

To learn more about the process, requirements, and supported content for each source, use these guides:

• Importing content from WordPress, Blogger, and Tumblr
• Importing content from Squarespace 5 (Version 7.0 sites only)

If you’re leaving Squarespace, you can export all compatible content into an .xml file. For more help, visit Exporting your site. Keep in mind, it's not possible to export content from one Squarespace site and import it into another.

Import and export products

The number of products you can import depends on your site's version.

• In version 7.1, you can import up to 10,000 products per store page.
• In version 7.0, you can import up to 200 products per store page.
• To import more products, use multiple pages.

To learn more about the process, requirements, and supported content for each source, use these guides:

• Importing products from Shopify, Etsy, and Big Cartel
• Importing products from a .csv file

You can also export your Squarespace Commerce products, creating an editable .csv file. With this .csv file, you can import your products to third-party services, save a copy for your records, or import your products to another Squarespace site. To learn more, visit Exporting products to a .csv.

Import and export images and videos

If you're moving to Squarespace from WordPress, Blogger, or Tumblr, you can import some images and videos to your site. Learn more about what content you can import and how in Importing content from WordPress, Blogger, or Tumblr.

If you import products to your site, your product images will import alongside your product details.

You may want to enable metadata importing before importing images to galleries, especially if you're a professional photographer. By importing metadata, you can manage information in a central place, like your photo editing software.

It's not possible to export all images from your site in bulk or to export your uploaded videos, but you can download individual images, one at a time, from the Asset library panel. To learn more about downloading content from the Asset library, visit Managing and reusing images and videos.

Import and export mailing lists

If you're moving to Squarespace Email Campaigns from Mailchimp or another email marketing service, you can bring your audience with you by importing mailing lists as .csv files.

To learn more about mailing list best practices and the process for importing contacts, use these guides:

• Email campaign best practices
• Building mailing lists

In the Lists & Segments panel, you can export individual mailing lists as .csv files for use on another platform. Alternatively, you can export all your contacts from the Contacts panel, which includes all customers, mailing list subscribers, members, and donors.

FAQ

Can I sync content between Squarespace and another platform?

No. Importing adds a static copy of content from an external source to your Squarespace site. It doesn't create a sync between these two sites. We recommend importing if you plan to continue using and updating this content only on Squarespace.

Can I import and export content between two Squarespace 7 sites?

There's no direct way to transfer content, aside from products, between version 7.0 sites, between version 7.1 sites, or between a 7.0 and 7.1 site at this time.

What will import to my Squarespace site?

It depends on the platform. Generally, text and images on blog posts and pages will import. For specifics review Importing from content from WordPress, Blogger, or Tumblr.

When importing products, information like price, dimensions, and images will import, depending on where you're importing from. For specifics, review Importing products from Shopify, Etsy, and Big Cartel and Importing products from a .csv file.
