Can I Sell a Video on Squarespace?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 2:20 am

There are a few things to consider when selling a video on Squarespace. First, you need to make sure that your video is in a format that can be played on Squarespace.

Currently, Squarespace only supports MP4 files. You also need to make sure that your video file is not too large, as Squarespace has a limit of 500MB per video file.

Once you have your video file in the correct format and size, you can then start to upload it to Squarespace. To do this, you will need to go to the ‘Settings’ tab and then click on ‘Files’.

From here, you can click on the ‘Upload Files’ button and select your video file from your computer. Once your video has been uploaded, you will need to go to the ‘Pages’ tab and create a new page for your video.

PRO TIP: Squarespace is a popular website builder and eCommerce platform, but it doesn’t currently offer any built-in options for selling video content. While you can technically upload videos to your Squarespace website and then sell them through an external service like Vimeo On Demand or Gumroad, this isn’t a very streamlined process. Moreover, Squarespace’s Terms of Service specifically prohibit selling copyrighted material unless you have the appropriate permissions, so selling pirated or illegally downloaded videos is definitely not allowed. If you’re looking to sell videos online, you’ll need to use a different platform.

On this new page, you will need to add a ‘Video Block’. To do this, simply click on the ‘+’ icon and then select the ‘Video’ option from the menu.

Once you have added the Video Block, you will need to click on the ‘Change Video’ button and select your video file from the list of files on your Squarespace account.

Once you have done this, you can then start to add some text and other content around your video. When you are happy with how your page looks, you can then click on the ‘Publish’ button to make your page live.

So, in answer to the question ‘Can I Sell a Video on Squarespace?’, the answer is yes! You just need to make sure that your video is in the correct format and size before uploading it.
