Etsy is a marketplace where people can buy and sell handmade or vintage items, as well as art and supplies. Squarespace is a website builder that allows users to create and customize their own website.
While Etsy has its own built-in eCommerce platform, some users may want to integrate it with Squarespace for a more seamless experience. Luckily, there are a few different ways to do this.
Option 1: Use the Squarespace Etsy App
The simplest way to integrate Etsy with Squarespace is to use the Squarespace Etsy App. This app allows you to display your Etsy products on your Squarespace website, and customers can purchase items directly from your site.
You can also sync your inventory between the two platforms, so you don’t have to worry about overselling. To get started, just install the app from the Squarespace App Store and connect it to your Etsy account.
Option 2: Use an Etsy Widget
If you don’t want to use the Squarespace Etsy App, you can also use an Etsy widget. This will allow you to embed your Etsy products into your Squarespace website, but customers will be redirected to Etsy to complete their purchase. To add an Etsy widget to your site, go to Etsy’s widget page and follow the instructions.
Once you’ve generated your code, go to the Pages section of your Squarespace website and click +Add. Select Code, paste your widget code into the box, and click Apply. Your Etsy products will now be embedded on your website.
Option 3: Use SquareBuyButton
SquareBuyButton is a third-party service that allows you to integrate Etsy with Squarespace. It works similarly to theSquarespace Etsy App, but it also allows you to add product variations (like size or color) and display shipping rates at checkout. SquareBuyButton starts at $9/month for up to 50 products, and there is a free 14-day trial available.
For example, if you list an item on Etsy and it sells, you will need to remove it from your Squarespace website so that the buyer can purchase it on Etsy. This could lead to confusion for your customers. Additionally, if you have a subscription with Squarespace, you will need to cancel it before listing your items on Etsy, as Squarespace does not allow third-party platforms to be integrated with its websites.
Before deciding to integrate your Etsy account with Squarespace, be sure to weigh the pros and cons carefully.
Conclusion, there are a few different ways that you can integrate Etsy with Squarespace. The simplest way is to use the Squarespace Etsy App, but you can also use an Etsy widget or SquareBuyButton.
