How To Integrate Shopify and Squarespace for E-Commerce
Squarespace is a user-friendly, drag-and-drop website builder, and while it includes online store functionality, it’s best for small businesses with a low number of products.
If you plan to add a lot of products or need more advanced features for selling or checkouts, you might consider combining Squarespace with Shopify to combine the benefits of both into one website.
In this step-by-step guide, we’ll share how to connect Shopify to Squarespace using the Shopify Buy Button.

Why Should You Combine Squarespace and Shopify?
Shopify* is the leading e-commerce platform. It powers 31.6% of e-commerce sites and includes advance e-commerce tools like:
Advanced inventory management
More shipping and fulfilment options
International storefronts and multi-currencies
Bundles and preorders
Wholesale and B2B
However, its templates aren’t fully flexible. Shopify doesn’t have a drag-and-drop builder like Squarespace,* and the templates can be difficult to customize without experience with Liquid, Shopify’s coding language.
This is why we recommend combining the two, by using Squarespace to manage the front-facing website (the pages, design, and content), and adding the Shopify Buy Button to offer your products for sale through Shopify’s checkout system.
How to Integrate Shopify and Squarespace
1. Sign Up for Shopify
Start by visiting Shopify and signing up for a paid plan. You can trial up to three days for free.
2. Add Your Products to Shopify
In the Products tab in the left-hand panel, add each of your products. Remember to include:
Titles
Descriptions
Images
Pricing
Shipping options
Stock levels
3. Create Your Shopify Buy Button
From your Shopify dashboard, go to Sales Channels and select Buy Button.
Choose the product or product collection you’d like to add to Squarespace, then customize the button’s design.
When you’re ready, generate the button HTML snippet.
4. Embed the Buy Button in Squarespace
Open the Squarespace page where you want products to appear. Add a Code Block, paste in the Shopify HTML snippet, and save your changes. This will add a purchase button that directs customers to the Shopify checkout.
If you would like to use the Squarespace Store Collection page for your products, we recommend using code to append the Buy Button inside your Product Details area (please get in touch if you’d like support with this).
5. Test Your Checkout Process
Remember to thoroughly test that your buy button and checkout process is working as intended. You can do this by browsing your site, add products to your cart using the Buy Buttons, and going through a test checkout. When you’ve confirmed it’s working correctly, you’ll be ready to start accepting sales.
