- Use Squarespace's .csv template for smooth product uploads
- Tags and categories don't directly impact SEO, but other product details do
- Import feature is available across most Squarespace plans
How Product Importing Works
Squarespace offers a simple process for store owners to migrate their product listings from platforms like Etsy, Shopify, and Big Cartel. This one-time import feature helps you populate your Squarespace store quickly. You'll need to manage subsequent updates manually since inventory doesn't sync continuously between platforms.
Supported Plans and Import Limits
Product importing works on Basic, Core, Plus, Advanced, Business, Commerce Basic, and Commerce Advanced plans. Import limits depend on your Squarespace version:
- Version 7.1: up to 10,000 physical and service products per store page
- Version 7.0: up to 200 products per store page
Both versions support importing products with up to 100 variants each.
What Actually Gets Imported
Squarespace can import several types of product details including descriptions, images, inventory, prices, SKU, titles, and weights. Some elements like download products and product tags for version 7.0 sites won't import, so you'll need to add these manually later.
Platform-Specific Import Steps
Etsy
- Add a store page on your Squarespace site if you haven't already
- Turn off your Etsy store's vacation mode (this ensures only active listings import)
- In Squarespace, go to Products & Services, select Products, then Import
- Choose Etsy and log into your account to connect
- Match your store's currency if prompted and start the import
- Imports will automatically appear on your designated store page
Shopify
- Download a .csv file of your Shopify inventory
- In Squarespace, go to Import in the Products section
- Upload your Shopify .csv file and begin the import
- Review the imported products on a new hidden store page called "Imported Products"
Big Cartel
- Enter your full Big Cartel URL
- After confirmation, begin the import to see products added on a new hidden page in Squarespace
Tags, Categories, and SEO Reality Check
In Squarespace, tags and categories help organise products and guide users through your store, but they don't directly influence your store's search engine optimisation (SEO). That said, well-described and categorised products improve user experience and can boost indirect SEO factors.
What to Do After Import
Once products are imported, you'll want to finalise your store's setup. Consider adding subscription options, customer reviews, or editing product details to match your store's needs. Creating special discount codes can help smooth customer transitions from your previous platform.
Pixelhaze Tip: Make a detailed checklist of all products and their variants before starting the import. This planning helps ensure no details get overlooked and saves time during reorganization after import.
