    CatherineJoMorgan got a reaction from EarvinChong in Product / Store Page Sort   
    Not sure what help you're asking for. What I did for a client with a lot of products was figure out the best way (from a prospective customer's point of view) to organize the products into product pages, and within those, into categories. I added tags to make it easier for me to filter products for blog pages and summary blocks. This can be hard work, but it's just part of the job. Some 7.0 templates make this easier than others. See https://www.phelpsrefinishing.com/ for my example. The Bedford template I used makes it easy to navigate categories within a menu item.

    Paul, sorry I wasn't clear. I meant, could you add the missing Shopping features to the list you posted about the main features Squarespace lacks, referring to your link "You'll find my list of the missing ecommerce features here." It could help others who are considering Squarespace for a commerce site.

    Paul, could you add to your list of features Squarespace lacks, the shipping features? That's where I'm thinking about switching a client to another platform. Shipping issues are driving us nuts.
    Part of it is the inability to test carrier-calculated shipping on a site copy with just a few products. The only option seems to be to add dimensions to over 400 products of varied sizes, just to test to see if it works well for my client's needs. 
    The other big shipping issue is carrier-calculated shipping for foreign sales.

    CatherineJoMorgan reacted to paul2009 in add paypal credit options to shopping cart?   
    Post updated in April 2022:
    Squarespace have removed support for Pay in 4 (PI4) and Pay in 3 (PI3) presumably to encourage wider use of Afterpay/Clearpay where they take a commission.
    We're waiting for Squarespace to replace the old "classic" PayPal integration with the newest one that supports PayPal's Pay Later suite of consumer financing solutions, but it seems unlikely this will happen in 2022.
    Whilst custom code could be used to add PI3/PI4 messaging to product pages, it would be pointless to do this when Squarespace doesn't support these features.

    CatherineJoMorgan reacted to derricksrandomviews in What do you wish you knew before starting your blog?   
    Wish I had known more about summary blocks and the fact you can make a "list" of blog posts a whole lot more exciting looking with some design tweaks. 
    https://myrandomviews.com/storysummary
    Update:
    Another thing I wish I knew is that you can isolate and group  blog posts using a category filtered by a hyper-link.  They will show up in list layout or as featured posts, depending on how your blog is styled, and  your template setting, but these posts look like they have their own 'page" without actually having to use one. So I mix things up on my site, some posts in a summary block on their own pages, and some grouped using hyperlinks. Those links can go anywhere, on the nav bar, in a folder on a button. And those links can be used outside the site, in emails, social media posts, lots of things. The url slug will take you to the first item in the folder.

    Likely causes are to do with mail settings in your Client. Possible you will need to make sure you are sending your mail using the SMTP server for your domain.  Ask whoever gives you the email address functionality.
     
    Then you can add domain name records to you domain to fix this problem with these links.

    CatherineJoMorgan reacted to babyface in New Google Analytics Tag   
    HERE'S THE SOLUTION:
    In Google Analytics create a new property. In the new property setup panel there's a link "Show Advanced Options" at the bottom. In Advanced Options there's an option "Create a Universal Analytics property". Using this option will give you the option to either create both a GA4 and a UA id in which case it creates 2 properties and links them or you can just create a single UA id.

    CatherineJoMorgan reacted to SergioC in Squarespace is NOT fit for purpose as an e-commerce solution   
    This is not the best solution, but it does help put Terms & Conditions in front of a customer just before they are about to make a purchase. I still have the Terms and Conditions within the checkout pages and on the footer of every page. 
    I used some code for something else I found from @tuanphan (who has so many many helpful snippets of code, the saviour of Squarespace). I'm still using the .tuan in there. 
    I put this as code injection into the header:
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.0/jquery.min.js"></script> <script> $(document).ready(function() { $('.CartFooter-checkout-28MW2').append('<div class="tuan">By continuing to checkout, you have<br/>read and agree to our <strong><a style="color: #7a6e65;" href="https://theneuter.com/terms-and-conditions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Terms and Conditions</a></strong></div>'); }); </script> <style> .tuan { display: block; height: auto; text-align: left; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-size: 1.1rem; line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: -82px; margin-bottom: 300px; } </style> And this in Custom CSS for Mobile
    @media screen and (max-width:640px) { .tuan { text-align: center !important; margin-top: -20px !important; } }  
    I've had this up for the past month or so and it seems to be working fine. The way the text gets appended means that it also disappears if a customer removes all the items in their cart. 
    My site URL if you want look at it live: https://theneuter.com/

    CatherineJoMorgan reacted to GlynMusica in New Google Analytics Tag   
    GA4 tracking implementation is in Beta and will eventually go and replace Universal Analytics (UA) as the measurement code for tracking via Google Analytics. There is going to be a lot of work involved as many big companies have UA wrapped into their analytics.
    If you are setting up a new website Google will, as usual, attempt to force you to implement GA4 because they do love getting people to test their stuff for free! However, you will find that you can select an option that will give you a standards UA- analytics code.
    If you have a Google Analytics code running already on your website then in GA you can go and upgrade your tag to GA4, this will not replace your existing tracking but simply create a new property that will be used to capture GA4 data. You will see this second property does not have the prefix of UA, and that is because new GA4 properties don't have this tag.
    I've not actually been using the External keys for GA in SquareSpace (SS), but I just learnt about them. My preference is to simply use Google Tag Manager and then use the code-injection option to load across all pages (my question: any performance improvements loading Universal Analytics (UA) google tag via the external keys?)
    I'm no guru but the learned advice for GA4 is to run it in parallel with your existing UA implementation to see how the data comes in. Also, if you have been doing any Event Tracking for UA via GTM then there is a complete rewrite process for mapping those events using the new GTM event for GA4. I will slowly crawl my way through that.
    This is all driven by the fact that Privacy implementations are severely limiting the capacity of Google to measure effectively their paid campaigns (read: less value and less advertisers investing) and just as Facebook has recently done a deal with Shoppify to send conversion data back to Facebook without a pixel implementation, I expect GA4 addresses to some degree that, or at least paves the road for that outcome. For sure it is much easier to track conversions and also it is supposed to pull together much more efficiently cross device and cross app usage. I'll admit though the first time I went and saw the GA4 dashboard I was not amused!!
    Hopefully this answers some questions.

    Hi @agovella - if you've implemented the summary_large_card info via code injection then it should be working. Try running the page URL through Twitter's card validator tool – sometimes that's necessary to force Twitter to refresh the cached info it stores about a URL after it's been shared already. https://cards-dev.twitter.com/validator

    CatherineJoMorgan reacted to paul2009 in How to replace squarespace image url (static.squarepace) so it shos my Domain?   
    No. These are CDN links and are unique. You cannot reuse them. 
    For future reference, when posting a link to a file it's best to use the link that uses your own domain. Then, if you later replace the file within another one of the same name, the link will keep working.

    I realize it's a different mental model than some of the other e-commerce sites. Theirs is...
    first product - $15
    second product - $2
    etc...
    SS is...
    order - $13
    first product - $2

    CatherineJoMorgan reacted to BertL in How can I take orders without taking payment?   
    Hi Everybody,
    Same problem here...
    I try to create a Click & Collect module for my restaurant in France and I want my customers to have the choice between paying online or direct at my restaurant's doors.
    But, I may found a simple solution to avoid oneline payments for Stripe users (only). It cans help until Squarespace offer a better solution.
    => In the "payments " page, enable the "test mode". Once enable, no payment will be ask when you finalise the checkout.
    Then, just edit a comment to explain to your customers that payement will be made on site via cash, check or credit card.
    Sorry for my English...Not perfect :-)

    To be clear, none of them will "integrate" with Squarespace but they can be linked from the Squarespace site and often embedded on it. One example is JotForm.
