What is Squarespace Payments?
Squarespace Payments brings all your payment processing into one place. Instead of juggling multiple platforms, you can handle payments, refunds, and disputes directly from your Squarespace dashboard.
Why Switch to Squarespace Payments?
Everything in one place
Manage all payments, refunds, and disputes from your main dashboard instead of switching between different platforms.
More payment options
Accept all major credit and debit cards, plus Apple Pay, Afterpay, and Klarna for customers who prefer flexible payment options.
Built-in security
Get PCI compliance, SSL-secured checkouts, and real-time transaction monitoring without setting up separate security measures.
Faster payouts
Receive money in your bank account the next business day, with automatic notifications for successful and failed transactions.
Simpler pricing
One clear fee structure for all card transactions instead of multiple payment processor fees.
Who Can Use Squarespace Payments?
Before you start, check these requirements:
- Location: Squarespace Payments isn't available everywhere. Check Squarespace's availability guide for your region
- Plan: You need at least a Personal plan (trial sites work too)
- Permissions: Site owner or administrator access required
How to Switch from Stripe
If you're currently using Stripe, the transition keeps all your sales history and doesn't change the checkout experience for customers.
Step 1: Wait for the invitation
Squarespace will email you when you're eligible to switch.
Step 2: Access the Finance panel
Go to your Squarespace dashboard and find the Finance section.
Step 3: Review and accept
Read through the transition information and accept the terms.
Step 4: Import your data
Start the import process for your Stripe account data. This can take up to 10 days.
Step 5: Connect your bank account
Link your bank account for payouts (even if it's the same one you used with Stripe, you need to reconnect it).
Pixelhaze Tip:
Take time to review all the financial setup details, especially if you're moving from Stripe. Double-check your bank account details and payout schedule to avoid any gaps in receiving payments.
Managing Payments After You Switch
Once you've switched, all your subscriptions and saved payment methods move over to Squarespace Payments. Here's what to remember:
- Customer payment methods saved before switching will work as normal
- New payment methods saved after switching stay with Squarespace Payments
- If you ever switch back to Stripe, only the old payment methods will transfer back
Common Questions
Is Squarespace Payments available where I am?
Check Squarespace's official availability guide to see if your region is supported.
Can I go back to Stripe later?
Yes, but any payment methods customers save after switching to Squarespace Payments won't transfer back to Stripe.
What payment methods can customers use?
All major credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Afterpay, and Klarna.
