Setting Up Products in Squarespace
Getting Your Products Ready
Setting up your Squarespace Commerce store starts with adding products to your store page. You can choose from physical products, digital downloads, services, or gift cards. Both physical and service products work as one-time purchases or recurring subscriptions. This gives you flexibility for specialist services and custom client work when standard pricing doesn't fit.
How Your Store Is Structured
Squarespace splits e-commerce into two main areas: store pages and product detail pages. Store pages work as your browsing hub, whilst product detail pages show everything about each item (images, variants, purchase options). You can customise both sections to create a smooth experience for customers.
Adding a Store Page (Version Specific)
In version 7.1, go to the Pages panel, click the '+' icon, then select 'Store' from the menu. Version 7.0 users follow the same steps with slightly different menu layouts.
Pixelhaze Tip: Use 'Product Quick View' so customers can see extra details without leaving the store page.
Adding New Products
Once your store page is live, adding products is straightforward. The process varies slightly between version 7.1, 7.0, and the Squarespace app, but the basics stay the same. Pick your product type first (you can't change this later).
Pixelhaze Tip: Keep your product catalogue organised by regularly checking product types and visibility settings.
Product Customisation Options
The product editor lets you customise everything from basic details (names, descriptions, images) through to advanced settings like inventory management and SEO.
Main Product Customisation Sections:
- Details: Product name, descriptions, and additional information
- Images: Upload multiple images, manage alt text for SEO, set featured image
- Inventory: Stock levels, prices, SKUs, and sale options
- Visibility: Control if products are public, hidden, or scheduled
Product Limits and Scheduling
Each Squarespace version has different limits. Version 7.1 supports up to 10,000 products per store page, whilst version 7.0 is limited to 200.
Pixelhaze Tip: Use the scheduling feature to time product releases with marketing campaigns or seasonal trends.
