Checkout that loses you money

Squarespace Commerce lacks native one-page checkout, upsell flows, and the app ecosystem your conversion rate actually needs.

App integrations hit a wall

The apps you need for subscriptions, loyalty, product information management, and inventory management simply do not exist in the Squarespace ecosystem.

Reporting you cannot act on

Basic analytics with no lifetime value segments, no cohort view, and no link to your marketing stack. You cannot see which customers are worth keeping.

B2B and wholesale not supported

No tiered pricing, draft orders, or net payment terms. Your wholesale channel has to live in a separate system or spreadsheet.

Marketplace sync is manual

Connecting Amazon, Google Shopping, or TikTok Shop requires workarounds that break at the worst possible time.

Dev work takes weeks, not days

Custom Squarespace development is slow, expensive, and rarely portable. You pay to build things you own until the next platform constraint forces a rebuild.

The problem

The legacy Squarespace store had slow page loads, weak mobile usability, and a fragmented checkout that cost conversions. The team needed to move fast without disrupting subscribers or losing years of search rankings.

The solution

A custom Shopify theme was built to meet their design and conversion requirements while maintaining brand identity. Products, customer accounts, and content moved via a structured secure data migration. Search engine optimization redirects, metadata, and backlink anchors were preserved. Third-party apps replicated every existing integration. The domain cut over in a single low-traffic window with a live monitoring team on call.

Redirect mapping, crawl verification, and metadata porting are in scope by default
30-day post-launch support, zero extra charge
Our team stays on for a month after go-live to fix anything that surfaces
Under 30 minutes of downtime
Your Squarespace store stays live until Shopify QA is signed off and approved
Transparent fixed pricing, no surprise invoices
All scope changes require written approval before work begins
Typical implementation partner
Vague timelines, rolling scope
"Should take 4 to 8 weeks" is not a delivery commitment
Theme store template with surface customisation
Looks like a hundred other Shopify stores on launch day (theme store template, surface customization)
SEO is a billable add-on
Redirect maps and crawl audits cost extra, often discovered too late
Handoff and disappear
Post-launch bugs go to a ticket queue, not a dedicated team
Unplanned / multi-hour cutover
DNS switchovers sometimes take hours when staging was not validated first
Change orders at every turn
Anything outside an over-broad statement of work triggers a new invoice
