What you unlock when you outgrow Squarespace

You pay more to be charged less

Squarespace prices its tiers on the fee: Plus offers "lower payment processing fees as your business grows", Advanced "our lowest payment processing fees and our most advanced commerce tools" — at £89/month billed monthly. — squarespace.com/pricing, August 2026

One rate on every plan. You bring your own processor and pay it directly, so the fee is between you and Stripe — Mercentia never takes a cut of a sale, on Grow or on Business.

Payment holds + the support black hole

"Payment holds on Squarespace Payments are a documented and recurring complaint across Trustpilot and Reddit, with slow support resolution." Reviews describe support as "clueless" or "non-existent". Trustpilot 3.0/5.

You choose your payment processor (Stripe, Razorpay, Adyen, Klarna, PayPal — all native). Your money flows on the processor's schedule, not held by the platform.

You hit the ceiling fast

"Squarespace can't compete with dedicated platforms once you scale. Limited to 6 variants per product, no native subscriptions on Basic, no multi-currency." Reddit consensus warns against it for serious ecommerce.

Built to scale. Unlimited variants, native subscriptions, multi-currency, B2B with company accounts, multi-warehouse inventory.

Manual
How it works

From "connect" to "live" in under an hour for most stores.

1
Connect
Paste your Squarespace API credentials. We probe the connection live and report the resource counts (products, customers, orders) before you commit to anything.
2
Preview the diff
See exactly what will be created vs skipped, with the carryover matrix above made concrete to your store.
3
Run the import
BullMQ worker streams the data through. Progress bar updates per phase — collections, products, customers, orders, redirects. Resumable on failure.
4
Test on a preview URL
Your Mercentia store comes up on a *.mercentia.com subdomain. Browse the migrated catalog, walk through a test order, check the redirect map.
5
Cut over
Point your domain at Mercentia. The 301 redirects fire from the old URL shape so customer bookmarks and search engines keep working.
No lock-in

And if it doesn't work out? Take your data and go.

Every product, customer, order and discount exports to CSV on demand — no support ticket, no notice period, no retention call. We do not ship an importer for Squarespace's exact column shape, so moving on means a mapping step; what we guarantee is that your data leaves with you, in full, whenever you ask.
