Squarespace Commerce review

Squarespace Commerce is a strong first store for a brand that sells a manageable number of products and wants the site to look finished on launch day. Its templates are designed for specific business types and include built-in AI tools for content. Every plan lets you sell an unlimited number of physical products, services and digital products, and branded invoices are free on all plans. Courses and memberships can sit on the same site. The fee structure matters for a new shop: the Basic plan applies a 2% transaction fee on online store sales and 7% on digital content and memberships, while Core removes the online store fee and cuts the content fee to 5%. Professional shipping and tax services, with label printing, real-time carrier rates and automated tax rates for over 100 countries, appear on the higher plans. A 14 day free trial is available, and annual plans include a free custom domain for the first year. Prices showed in local currency to us, so confirm USD plans on Squarespace's US site.
