How to integrate Shopify into your Squarespace site:

STEP 01

First, head over to Shopify and sign up for a free trial. Choose the Shopify Lite plan.

STEP 02

Add your products to Shopify by filling in details like the product name, description, price, and images. Don't forget to manage your inventory.

STEP 03

Now, create a Buy Button for your products. Pick the product you want to sell and customize the button to match your brand. Then, copy the code for the button.

STEP 04

Next, go to your Squarespace website. While in edit mode, find where you want to add the Buy Button. Use a code block to paste the code you copied from Shopify. Make sure to save and preview your changes.

STEP 05

To make the Buy Button visible on every page, repeat the process in Shopify to create a universal button. Then, copy the code and go back to Squarespace.

STEP 06

In Squarespace's edit mode, navigate to the footer section and add another code block. Paste the code for the universal Buy Button.

STEP 07

Add the Squarespace Collection/Block Identifier extension to your browser.

STEP 08

In Squarespace, go to Design > Custom CSS. Paste a code snippet provided into Custom CSS and save. This snippet hides the Buy Button from the footer.

Using the Squarespace Collection/Block Identifier extension, identify the code block ID of the Buy Button in your footer. Replace the outdated Block ID text in the CSS code with your specific block ID.

Once done, verify that the Buy Button is hidden from the footer and that the cart tab is visible on all pages of your website.
