Jiheffe Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Hi, (not sure if this is the right ofrum to post this; if not I apologize) I have set up my site www.jfschmitz.com on Squarespace for a while. I now want to set up the e-commerce to sell prints. I would like to point another domain to this shop page. Something like "www.fineartphoto-shop.com" that would redirect to "www.jfschmitz.com/shop". Is that possible? Thnx for your advise, JF Link to comment
SnazzyView Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Yes, but you will need a separate Squarespace subscription if you want it to point to another domain. Then on your current website you would just need to set-up a URL redirect. https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/205815308-URL-redirects Link to comment
Jiheffe Posted November 3, 2019 Author Share Posted November 3, 2019 Ok, so subscriptions are based on domains, not sites? Assuming I have build one site and want to have two domains pointing to it, I would need to pay for two subscriptions? Link to comment
SnazzyView Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Sorry, I think I misunderstood your original question; I thought you wanted another website for your e-commerce. Yes, you can have two domains pointed at one website but users will be redirected to your primary domain. For example I have thompsonwebdesign.co.uk pointed to my website but my primary domain is thompsonweb.design. When you type in thompsonwebdesign.co.uk you are redirected to my primary domain thompsonweb.design. As for redirecting them to a specific page I would look into domain forwarding with your domain provider instead of linking it to your Squarespace website. I have linked to the below thread which talks about domain forwarding. Link to comment
paul2009 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Hi @Jiheffe I'm interested to understand WHY you would want to obtain an additional domain. If it is the same business, there's little benefit in having another domain name just to remove the /shop link. Most users won't ever type your domain name, they'll simply Google you.
