Delivering digital product on Squarespace
Ecommerce is alive and well and delivering digital products is another (semi-easy) way to work passive income into your business!
If you are a product based business, evaluate whether you plan on having more than 20 products. If so, I would probably suggest Shopify over Squarespace just as a heads up!
If you are already on Squarespace and wanting to add digital products or are looking for a website platform that is easy to design on, has integrations all in it, and includes hosting, Squarespace is the way to go.
How to deliver a digital product:
- If you’re starting from scratch, use a commerce template (in the video I will show you how to do it without a commerce template)
- Link the payment processor (Apple Pay, Stripe or PayPal)
- Add products to sell
- Figure out the dang taxes (thankfully Squarespace has an article about how to set up taxes in Squarespace Commerce)
DON’T FORGET:
You need to have a privacy policy and terms of use on your website since you are collecting customer’s data. This is an important place to add your return policy and contact info.
Squarespace downloads are delivered via email and the digital download expires in 24 hours. This can be annoying, but if they don’t download it right away you can send them another notification in the backend of Squarespace ecommerce.
In this video I show you the difference between a Squarespace 7.0 and 7.1 shop and do a brief overview of how to create an online storefront!

Hey, I'm Bekah! Web designer, Squarespace Circle Gold Partner, marathon runner, and mama of two. I built Rebekah Read Creative in 2018 after leaving corporate America, and I've spent the years since helping purpose-driven entrepreneurs stop cringing at their websites and start getting found on Google.
I'm the kind of person who overshares, processes out loud, and goes all in on whatever has my heart, whether that's running a 50k or building someone's website in a single day. Quality coffee and real conversations are basically my love language.
If you're here, you're probably tired of the Instagram hustle and ready for a website that actually works for you. You're in the right place.
