How to Take Payments on Squarespace

Taking payments on Squarespace is an essential step if you’re running an online store or offering services. In this guide, we’ll walk through the process of integrating PayPal with your Squarespace site to start accepting payments seamlessly.

1. Log in to Your Squarespace Account

First, navigate to Squarespace and log in to your account. Enter your email address and password to access your dashboard.

2. Access Payment Settings

Once you’re logged in, select the website you want to configure for payments. Click on the “Settings” button, then choose “Sell” and click on “Payments.”

3. Choose PayPal as Your Payment Method

In the Payments section, you’ll see various options for payment methods. For this tutorial, we will focus on PayPal. Click on the PayPal logo to begin the integration process.

4. Connect Your PayPal Account

A new window will pop up asking for your PayPal account details. Enter your PayPal business email address and select your country or region from the list. Click “Next” and enter your PayPal password to log in. Ensure that you are using a PayPal Business account, not a personal one. If you only have a personal account, you can easily upgrade it to a business account with a quick online search.

5. Update Your Billing Agreement

Back in Squarespace, you need to update your billing agreement. Click “Update” and then “Agree.” Rest assured, you are not making any payments at this stage.

6. Confirm Integration

After successfully integrating PayPal, you’ll see a status update next to PayPal indicating that it is “Connected.”

7. Test the Payment Process

To ensure everything is working correctly, preview your website. Navigate to the store section, add a product to your cart, and proceed to checkout. You should see the option to pay using PayPal. A new window will appear for your customers to log in to their PayPal account and complete the payment.
