THIS right here is what we really, really need. And what SQS needs to implement if they ever want to truly compete with other email marketing platforms. I love Campaigns and have been using it for years, I am basically not giving up hope that we'll get these features eventually.

I love how far SquareSpace has come over the years and appreciate that more marketing tools are available within its ecosystem. However I am really hitting a wall when it comes to features for quickly tagging and segmenting customers based on products purchased which is normally pretty easy in other ecommerce CMS platforms.
My store offers a variety of software downloads which can be used in different programs so I'm trying to segment my customers by the type of software their download was for in order to send them product updates or emails about future releases for their program.
Currently to do this, I have to click on each order, see what software they downloaded, then click to their profile and add those tags in. Then I have to repeat this for every order on my site which is a bit mind numbing. Once tagged I can then use filters in the Profile's section to create a Segment from those tags.
However this could all be made much simpler by creating an additional parameter to the profile filter which allows you to filter customers either by product name or tags of purchased products (see attached screenshot). Product tags are already part of the SS ecosystem, they just don't seem to be connected to customers. And some order data already exists in the filters just nothing product specific.
I think if this minor change was added to the Segmentation filters then it would really make Email Campaigns within SS that much more of a powerful tool! Similarly if customers could get auto-tagged when ordering certain products that would also be groovy but that would undoubtedly be a much more complicated feature to add.
Anyway, just thought I'd share. If you agree this would be useful maybe comment below so the team knows it's a desired feature.
Keep up the great work SquareSpace team!

A fix for the CSS panel issue was rolled out a short time ago. Most sites should be working again now, with others following really soon 🥳.

Not just 7.1, it's happening in 7.0 as well. Hope they fix this quickly!

Looking forward to it, thanks!

Not yet but actually on my list of blogs to write soon! 

Yay, so glad you found and used this! It's such a great tool and has so many other good uses too, it's pretty much a must for designer I think! 🙂 

Someone did make a plugin! There's a Chrome extension by SquarespaceWebsites which lets you do just that (found this on @kerstinmartin's blog). You can also copy content from pages and blogs from one site to another - very useful if you want to migrate a 7.0 site to 7.1.  I just tried it on my own site and copied over 200 blog posts (with tons of images) without a hitch in a matter of minutes. Only thing is the comments didn't seem to copy over, but I much rather lose a few comments than spend several weeks re-uploading images on the lousy copy made via wordpress. 

This is unbelievable.  A message like this belongs in a privacy or cookie policy, a website builder should never FORCE us to display it like this on our websites. It completely disregards design asthetics and our autonomy as business owners.
Do other email providers do this as well?

Noticed this on a client site this morning.
Totally agree with @kerstinmartin - it's bonkers!
Thanks @paul2009 for the recipes 😂

Thanks for this, Paul! Do you know how to make this work for the promotional pop-up? I am just linking to my Privacy Policy where I've added this statement. Thanks!

It ruins designs - unnecessary, redundant text that doesn't add any value.

There might be a way to do this with CSS but I don't know the code off the top of my head.

I am wondering though, why would you want to hide the 'from'? Is that not misleading when people then click on the dropdown list and see the different prices because you have set the expectation that it's all the same price? Plus, the from indicates that there are more options which can people make curious and entice them to check out the different options. That's just how I would feel as the consumer.

In this case, it's pretty straightforward. One variant is a single bottle of wine, the other is a case of 12 bottles, at a discount. Customers won't be let down, they'll be delighted at the opportunity to buy more and save.
