Squarespace E-Commerce & Online Store Setup
We help you monetise your website. A critical step for many growing businesses, we'll help take your website from simple showroom to fully functioning e-commerce emporium.
Whether you're selling physical products, digital downloads, services, gift cards, or subscriptions, Squarespace has the tools – and we know how to set them up properly. We've helped businesses sell everything from handmade candles to meal subscription boxes to online courses. The platform is more capable than most people realise, and we make sure you're getting the most out of it.
Products, Categories & the Browsing Experience
We can add e-commerce features to an existing site, including product listings, search tools, custom categories and product recommendations. This helps streamline and personalise the browsing and buying experience and – more importantly – will keep your customers coming back.
Your product pages are your shop window, and they need to do the heavy lifting. We'll set up filtering, sorting, clear product descriptions, and make sure your images are optimised so pages load fast without looking rubbish. We've seen too many online stores where beautiful products are let down by slow-loading, poorly organised pages. That won't happen on our watch.
Payments, Inventory & the Boring-but-Essential Bits
We'll make sure that managing your online store is equally straightforward. Incorporating features like stock inventory, payment integration and fulfilment and optimisation tools will give you a comprehensive view of your business, all via the Squarespace platform.
Squarespace integrates with Stripe, PayPal, Square, and Afterpay/Clearpay. We'll set up whichever combination makes sense for your customers and configure shipping, tax calculations, and any region-specific requirements. It's the unglamorous side of e-commerce, but getting it right from the start saves enormous headaches later.
Automated Marketing That Runs Itself
Adding an online store to your site shouldn't mean adding to the work your team has to do. Opt for automated marketing tools as part of your store build and your customers can receive email updates on their purchases, handy notifications and reminders, personalised deals, shipping and delivery confirmations and more. All with zero effort from your team and resulting in maximum brand engagement with your shoppers.
We can also set up abandoned cart recovery, promotional pop-ups, and discount codes. These small touches genuinely move the needle on conversions, and once they're configured they just run quietly in the background. Set it and forget it – the best kind of marketing.
Making Sure People Actually Find Your Store
A beautiful store means nothing if nobody can find it. We'll optimise your product pages for search engines – proper meta titles, descriptions, clean URLs, and structured data where it makes sense. This helps your products show up in Google Shopping and organic search results, which means customers finding you without you having to pay for every single click.
We'll also talk to you about content that supports your store. Blog posts, buying guides, landing pages – the kind of content that targets what your customers are actually searching for and brings them to your site with intent to buy.
Who This Is For
Small businesses, freelancers, creatives, charities, membership organisations, and growing brands who want a professional online presence without the complexity. We've built sites for dog wellness clubs, nutrition companies, education consultancies, creative agencies, and everything in between. If you need a website that works as hard as you do, we're your team.
We work with clients across the UK and internationally. Most of our collaboration happens over Zoom and email, so location is never a barrier. Some of our best projects have been with people we've never met in person.
