Squarespace Commerce review

Squarespace Commerce is the pick for brands whose store is as much about presentation as about checkout. Its templates are among the most polished here, and checkout runs on your own domain. Beyond physical products, you can sell services, take donations and offer courses, memberships, videos and subscriptions, which suits creators who mix content and merchandise. US merchants can also accept electronic bank transfers. Fees deserve a close look. Basic charges a 2% transaction fee on online store sales, which disappears on higher plans, and digital content and memberships carry a 7% fee. Complete customization with CSS and JavaScript sits on upper tiers. Compared with Shopify or BigCommerce, it has fewer commerce integrations and less depth for large catalogs. Squarespace's pricing page showed PLN from our location, so the price is pending. A 14-day free trial lets you build before paying.
