Hi, I am located in Australia. I am seeking the best way to offer commerce to my clients but am finding it difficult to please all 4 of my clients common commerce needs all together…Am wondering if anyone can shed light on the below... 1) Products created in their squarespace commerce integration + 2) A payment gateway / processor that works in australia and accepts both eftpos and credit cards online and at point of sale + 3) feeds that sales data into a finance management software (usually Xero but i’d be open to suggesting clients use one that might fit better?) + 4) shipping calculation integration (only possibly via API’s I think?) I don’t want to set up products twice - once in Squarespace then again in whichever payment processor is chosen I would like online AND point of sale purchases to be recorded against customer’s Squarespace accounts - this is for marketing purposes because that way, mailing lists can be segmented according to product’s purchased and subscribers who have purchased can be email targeted according to which products they bought and are / might be interested in. I don’t want (and clients don’t want) to create products twice - once in squarespace and once in the payment processor. Can you help me solve this integration nightmare?!

Hi all, For any Melbourne or Victorian designers, I'm arranging a very casual meetup in Melbourne on Tuesday 26 March from 5.30-7.30pm @ The Duke of Wellington (146 Flinders Street, Melbourne). It will be a great opportunity to network and chat about all things Squarespace. Would love to see you there! Email me at laura@hatchlabs.com.au if you're keen.

Evening Aussies! For the ecomm legends has anyone passed the Stripe/Paypal Surcharges to the customer? If so - how? My digging only gets me so far, and i see that it's possible in the US but can't find the information for AU.

I will start... I'm based in Melbourne and my business is Webby Web Design. I started in 2007 and work mostly with Squarespace. One of the challenges I have and hope to get feedback on is I have so many clients that say they were told by other designers or SEO companies that Sqs is bad for SEO... Do you get these and how do you explain?

Hi Everyone, I thought to start an introduction topic for the Australian Designers Club - also topics that relate to Australia that you wish to discuss. looking forward to e-meeting everyone and if you are in Melbourne to meet in person, thanks @laura_c for organising the meet up 🙂 Meirav
