As Squarespace adds new features each year the 'Marketing' sections seems to be getting closer to offering full CRM (Customer Relationship Management) features.
I've been using a mix of Quickbooks and Gmail alongside Email Campaigns to keep in touch and monitor my clients but find it frustrating! I offer Photography and Squarespace design services plus educational work across workshops/webinars and 1-2-2 tutorials.
I really want a simple, easy to use, minimal CRM that offers stats and data visualisation, especially on the sectors my clients work in.
For example, I shoot product/lifestyle for mostly designer/makers. I know my main 2 product types are ceramics and textiles, but the only way to be sure of the exact numbers is to export a spreadsheet from Quickbooks and add the data myself.. Quickbooks does not offer the option for adding extra contact information like 'sector' or 'type' of client. 
In Squarespace, I see it's possible to add a 'tag' to a customer in Profiles, but there is no option to see charts/visualisations for customers.. Analytics has data for sales, emails and so on..
Trying Hubspot but find it has way to many options and I get lost in settings.. most CRMs seem very complicated.. I'm actually thinking a google spreadsheet that synced to Quickbooks would be better as you can export / create data from that.
Thoughts? Is anyone having success with a CRM that syncs with Quickbooks? I mainly use Quickbooks because it syncs with HMRC in UK for submitting VAT returns. Sprout Studio is an interesting one but only for US and Canada at the moment.

You didn't provide a link to the site, so it's difficult for us to tell you the best solution. Some templates allow you to disable it within the settings, others will require custom code.
If you're using a Squarespace 7.1 template, or a Brine-family template, we have a pre-built solution available called the Product Enquiry Form extension. It allows you to replace the 'Add to Cart' button with an 'Enquire Now' button. It then automatically includes the product details in the form submission.

Hi everyone, nice to "meet" you all and get to check out some beautiful work!
I've been shooting landscapes and people for 10 years, and my site www.mattlinden.co.uk is in dire need of updating!
And ideas/tips much appreciated :)

Hi all, thanks for having me!
I've been into photography since the days of film, but only recently began to pivot away from web dev to full-time freelance photography.
I'm based in NYC and shoot mostly portraits, events, and food.

hello everybody,
i'm a french wedding, portrait and adventures photographer. I also develop websites for other photographers and videographers.

Hi all! I'm a photographer and web designer based in Stockholm, Sweden. The last 15 years I've been photographing Harley-Davidson motorcycles and events for a Swedish magazine, but since a couple of years I also do other photo gigs, including drone photography (DJI Phantom 4 Pro and Mavic Air 2) and 360° virtual tours (Ricoh Theta Z1). My brand is OneManWork and this is my web site

So excited about this topic - it just popped up on my Circle feed - I'm a brand new company - but with 10 years of experience shooting for a large government organization. Stepping out on my own has been scary - especially in times of COVID - but hopefully things will pick up again. Check out my site: http://theadaptedlens.com. 

I haven't seen this thread before, but I'm a professional photographer in South Mississippi. I do wedding and portrait photography mostly, but I have started working with some businesses for branding work as well. This is my website: http://www.annacirlotphotography.com

Welcome to the Artists & Photographers club, a space for artists in the Squarespace community! We’re glad to have you here. We’d love to get to know you better so take a second to introduce yourself in the comments. If you’re not sure of what to say, you can use the following questions for some inspiration: 
What’s your name and where are you from?  What kind of art do you create?  Do you have a Squarespace site where you share your work? (If so, feel free to share it.)  After you introduce yourself, you can react and comment on other members’ introductions!

Great idea, I'm a full-time professional wedding and corporate events photographer based in Brisbane, Australia. Like many others here I suspect, I offer squarespace 'website setup' and marketing consultancy to small businesses (often with photography as the centrepiece) under a brand called Locus Focus www.locusfocus.com.au and then I run my photography business under www.chrisjack.com.au. Both sites are SS 7.0. I have been using Acuity Scheduling for my bookings and entire workflow for the photography for the past three years, and it hasn't failed me yet!
During the COVID-19 pandemic, being able to fall back to website client work has been a lifesaver.
Would love to start some discussions about best practices and/or different approaches for photography websites on SS.

Hi, guys! Excited to join this group. I'm the Content Manager for a soft plastic fishing bait manufacturer and shoot all the product for our product catalog, online store, and advertising, but in my "free time" I'm a food writer and photographer. Like a lot of you, I'm in a transitional stage and I'm looking to move toward shooting commercially for people in the food and beverage industry.
My food blog/photography portolio site is: http://www.foodnwhine.com/
