Can You Use Shopify on a Squarespace Website?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 8:04 am

There are a lot of eCommerce platforms out there. Shopify and Squarespace are two of the most popular. But can you use Shopify on a Squarespace website?

The short answer is yes, you can use Shopify on a Squarespace website. However, there are a few things to keep in mind.

Shopify is a fully-fledged eCommerce platform, while Squarespace is a website builder. This means that Shopify has all the bells and whistles when it comes to eCommerce, while Squarespace is more limited.

That being said, Squarespace does have some eCommerce features, so it’s not completely useless for selling products online.

PRO TIP: Please be advised that using Shopify on a Squarespace website is not recommended and may result in unexpected consequences.

If you’re using Shopify on a Squarespace website, you’ll need to use an embed code to add your Shopify store to your Squarespace website. This is because Squarespace doesn’t have built-in eCommerce functionality like Shopify does.

To do this, simply go to your Shopify admin, click on “Online Store,” then “Embed code,” and then copy the code provided. Next, go to your Squarespace website and paste the code into the page where you want your Shopify store to appear.

There are a few things to keep in mind when using Shopify on a Squarespace website. First, your Shopify store will be embedded in an iFrame on your Squarespace website. This means that any themes or changes you make to your Shopify store won’t be reflected on your Squarespace website.

Second, because your Shopify store is embedded in an iFrame, it may be slightly less secure than if it were its own standalone website. However, this is generally not something to worry about unless you’re selling high-value items.

Overall, using Shopify on a Squarespace website is perfectly fine. Just keep in mind that your Shopify store will be embedded in an iFrame and won’t be able to take advantage of all of Squarespace’s features.
