Squarespace is one of the most popular platforms for creating sleek, beautiful websites. But when it comes to actually selling products or services, its built-in checkout falls flat. Squarespace’s default eCommerce features are basic, hard to customize, and leave your conversions suffering—especially on mobile.

That’s where SamCart’s Slide Checkout comes in. In just 30 seconds, you can upgrade your Squarespace site with a modern, high-converting checkout that looks great, works flawlessly on mobile, and helps you sell more with every order.

Here’s how you can turn your Squarespace site into a conversion powerhouse in no time.

Where Squarespace Falls Short on eCommerce

Squarespace is an incredible tool for building visually appealing websites, but its built-in checkout has some significant limitations:

  1. Limited Customization: You’re stuck with a rigid, one-size-fits-all checkout process.
  2. Poor Mobile Experience: Squarespace’s checkout isn’t optimized for mobile, leading to frustrated visitors and abandoned carts.
  3. No Advanced Selling Features: It lacks tools like order bumps, upsells, and stored credit cards—features proven to boost revenue.
  4. Basic Payment Options: Missing advanced options like Apple Pay, Google Pay, and buy-now-pay-later solutions.

When you’re running a business, a checkout that can’t convert visitors into paying customers is a problem you can’t ignore.
