How to Connect Stripe to Your Squarespace Site
Setting up Stripe with Squarespace gives your customers more ways to pay, including credit cards, debit cards, and Apple Pay. Here's how to get it working properly.
Integrating Stripe with Squarespace
Connecting Your Stripe Account
Adding Stripe to your Squarespace site opens up payment options that customers expect. The integration works directly through your site's checkout, so customers never leave your store to complete their purchase.
Setting Up Stripe
- Go to the 'Store payments' panel in your Squarespace dashboard
- Click 'Connect an existing Stripe account'
- Log in to your Stripe account (or create a new one) in the pop-up window - make sure your browser allows pop-ups from Squarespace
- If you see error messages or need to update account details, follow the prompts and sort these out on the Stripe website
Managing Multiple Squarespace Sites
You can technically connect several Squarespace sites to one Stripe account, but don't do this. It causes disconnection problems that are a pain to fix. Use a separate Stripe account for each site instead.
Testing Your Setup
Always test your Stripe connection before going live. Stripe's test mode lets you run fake transactions to check everything works. This catches problems before real customers try to pay.
Adding Flexible Payment Options
Once Stripe is connected, you can add payment options like Afterpay or Clearpay (if you meet their requirements). These let customers pay in instalments, which can increase your conversion rates.
FAQs
Can I connect Stripe if I'm already using Squarespace Payments?
No. Squarespace Payments and Stripe can't run together on the same site. You need to pick one.
Can I connect multiple Squarespace sites to one Stripe account?
Technically yes, but it causes disconnection issues. Use one Stripe account per site to avoid headaches.
How do I set up Afterpay or Clearpay with Stripe?
First, check you meet their eligibility requirements. Then go to your Store payments panel and activate the option you want.
Jargon Buster
Squarespace Payments: Squarespace's built-in payment system that handles transactions without external processors.
Stripe: A third-party payment processor that accepts various payment methods and handles the technical side of online payments.
Test Mode: Stripe's testing environment where you can simulate purchases without processing real money.
Wrapping Up
Connecting Stripe to Squarespace gives you more payment options and builds customer trust. Keep each site on its own Stripe account and always test your setup before launching. If you run into problems, check Stripe's documentation first - it's usually more detailed than Squarespace's help docs for payment issues.
