Over the past 18 months we have been able to save our small business by having a beautiful online store with Squarespace. We had people buy gift cards through their and we now have people order from all over the country. It's been a lifesaver - and while we use a different POS for in-store purchases with the Commerce app we have been able to quickly update any in-store purchases and get easy notifications for any purchases coming in from the website so we can pull inventory before it sells in-store. We have also been able to redeem the online gift cards through the app, which has allowed us to "use them" in-store. It's been really good. However, now with the Commerce app being removed, we can no longer use the online gift cards in store and we cannot get notifications to our phones and iPad when orders come in. We can only see them in email. In addition, I have an Android phone which won't even allow we to do sales with the app in-person and even though I just downloaded the new app I cannot even update inventory through it, as it crashes immediately if I try to do anything with the inventory. Heading into the holiday season, with COVID back on the rise, I am really concerned that taking away the Commerce app is going to negatively impact our already small business. Why is such a change being made when the new app clearly doesn't have the features that the current one has? Why are you taking away options for businesses at this time? In talking to a rep they told me I should have a computer ready in case someone wants to use an online gift card in store and they should have to put their entire order in that way instead of me being able to redeem it how I have been. How does this seem like a reasonable workaround for this - when there already was a system that worked? If anyone knows someone who has figured out a workaround please let me know. We need to find a way to make this work and I'm really frustrated that Squarespace has been non-responsive.

Up until recently we've used the commerce android app to take Point of Sale credit card payments. The commerce app has been deprecated and it pointed me to the squarespace app. The android squarespace app has a commerce tab but no longer has the "Sell Now" button. Weirdly, the iOS version of the squarespace app DOES have the "Sell Now" button. How do I use the android app to do Point of Sale?

Site URL: https://www.perrondo.com/ Hello, I hope you are well! I am reaching out for some sort of help. It is about the behaviour of my site on Mobile. I made some small changes in the design. After I went to check on Mobile (Androïde) and notice a bug. At the first viewing, everyting is fine. But when I leave a gallery and try to come back to it, all the photos are gone. 😞 I have tried to fix this by changing the Summary block for a Gallery block, just don't work. Also making a page with Images Blocks and Textes Blocks still the same bug on my Mobile. I have been discussing this matter with SS customer care. They recommend the fix I mention above, which don't work. They also said it is a technical bug on their side with androïde mobile. Seems as if it has been there for 2 weeks now. They cannot tell how long or even if they can fix it. So I am looking for a work around solution. Maybe you have a clue. Thank you for helping out. Or directing me to someone who can. Dominique

Site URL: https://www.stacyhavener.com/ My client's site (https://www.stacyhavener.com/) is loading the background image in the header area a little weird on Android. Android users report the image is "snapping" or "flashing." Some (but not all) Android users also see the text load twice. As in it displays, then seems to "blink" and display again. I've looked through the best practices. I've downsized the images, cropped them more tightly, and removed site animation. Can anyone give pointers on what I could try to do to solve this? Thanks so much!

Site URL: https://ax-maxwell.squarespace.com password: axmaxwell Hello, I need help in optimizing my website for mobile view. In the works page, I want to show one column of video only in mobile view instead 2 columns. And I want it in 4:3 aspect ratio. I am using a summary block if this information helps. Note: The desktop version stays the same, only the mobile view. Also, how do I make it so that when I choose a filter it automatically disappears? Right now, when I choose a filter, the menu still shows and I have to press X. Thank you very much!

Site URL: https://thunderfoxmusic.com Hi, I'm pretty new to Custom CSS and have been using it based off the advice found on forums. I'm trying to display a different fixed position background image for desktop and mobile for viewing optimisation. I've managed to get it working on desktop, and I got it working on mobile by placing a mobile-friendly background image behind the original background image, then coding for the foreground image to be transparent when viewed on mobile. It works fine in the mobile preview in the site builder, and it also works fine viewed on android phones. It doesn't, however, appear to work on iPhones which just display the desktop optimized image but zoomed in significantly. I've attached a screenshot of the view from an android (the one which fits the screen) and the view from an iPhone - below is the code that I'm using to achieve this (NOTE: I changed the 'max-width' paramater from 767 px to 950 px as I thought this might solve the issue but it hasn't. It also hasn't messed up the android view) [data-section-id="5e4e0b259625b1547470a01f"] .section-background { background-image: url("https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4ce6ee2218e34cd31829d3/86c35289-8a3c-49d4-9d77-82583188abdf/ke17ZwdGBToddI8pDm48kHsP6h8ITLpzppVA9b8GOgt7gQa3H78H3Y0txjaiv_0fDoOvxcdMmMKkDsyUqMSsMWxHk725yiiHCCLfrh8O1z5QPOohDIaIeljMHgDF5CVlOqpeNLcJ80NK65_fV7S1UQnys2-58Jn-eukW1UFae4kMRF6JsQQSjrbz6STkd2Ul9Aa7pjcgczeZz4RiAJynZQ/standing+seamless.jpg"); background-size: cover; background-attachment: fixed; } @media only screen and (max-width:950px) { [data-section-id="5e4e0b259625b1547470a01f"] .section-background img { visibility: hidden; } [data-section-id="5e4e0b259625b1547470a01f"] .section-background { background-image: url(https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e4ce6ee2218e34cd31829d3/t/60ca068e80d4337c06eb2e36/1623852694300/standing+seamless+3to5+vertical+smaller.jpg); background-size: cover; background-position: center center; background-repeat: no-repeat; } } Thank you!!

Anyone else seeing their Squarespace site loading much slower on Android than other devices? I'm seeing average page load speed of 2secs on Safari but 11secs on Android Webview! This is the only browser with this issue & given how common Android devices are it's a big problem!

Have had my squarespace website set up for over year now and have just recently installed the app on phone. All the pages are there but it doesn't show any product/stock at all so can't do any editing! Any ideas on why the products from my stores/shop are not showing when using the android app?

Site URL: https://www.bilingsolarlight.com Hello, I have a problem that I embed the picture link in the accordion code, and set the fixed size of the picture. The PC can fully display the picture, but the picture on the mobile end will be deformed. I want to know if there is a specific method to make the picture smaller on the mobile end, thank you🙌!

I found a piece of code posted by jcuvdb to prevent image downloading on IOS devices, but it has no effect on android devices. Is there a way to disable the functionality on Android browsers where a user can press and hold an image and bring up a "save image" popup dialog? Any help would be much appreciated.

Site URL: http://www.pointerway.com I've got my new 7.1 version of my website up and running but I've got dreadful formatting issues with H1 text on mobile and in paned windows on desktop browser (see attached screenshots). It seems like the page isn't shrinking the text enough to keep full words on single lines. Any ideas? Thank you!

I created a cover page for our CamScanner App Launcher Website and needed to put a clickable link to the Google Play Store at the bottom of the page. Is there any way to do this?

Site URL: https://indigo-bronze-pep9.squarespace.com/ Password: Titleist This is driving me nuts and Squarespace support don't get back to me. On Android phones (only) the burger menu items don't display properly (left. or right or even half off the screen). The problem occurs even when I've removed all the code that I added. Any ideas? Anybody?

Site URL: http://www.realestateanalyzers.com For some reason I am having major performance issues specifically with Android phones loading the mobile version of the site. The home page loads fine but when a user starts browsing to other pages it is taking 15-20 seconds before the page loads. There are no issues on iOS devices. Any suggestions would be super helpful!

Site URL: https://www.bluebirdlaser.com/ I implemented an infinite loop full-bleed slideshow for a client, but have heard from Android users that it doesn't show. Any idea how to fix this? Or better way to achieve the same slideshow style goal?
