JacquelineSweet Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I'm selling a digital product--book cover art--and I need to be able to limit the inventory so that each product is sold only once. But I can't seem to change the stock from infinite. Can anyone help? Link to comment
Solution paul2009 Posted May 5, 2021 Solution Share Posted May 5, 2021 Squarespace defines Digital products as files that the customer can download. For example, a PDF, JPEG or ZIP file. As electronic files can be downloaded an infinite number of times, you cannot change the stock level. To manage the inventory of a product you must add the product as a Service product instead, and then manually send the digital product to the customer. About: SQSP User for 17 yrs.

JacquelineSweet Posted May 5, 2021 Author Share Posted May 5, 2021 So it's impossible on SquareSpace to limit a digital product to just one inventory item? That's insane. Link to comment

matikdesign Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 (edited) this is soooo annoying! i sell exclusive artworks for cd covers, the whole point of setting up the digital store was so it was frictionless and customers can get instant downloads, this needs to be addressed. This is a dealbreaker for me unfortunately and im moving from squarespace to another platform after almost 5 years. Edited July 16, 2022 by matikdesign benmsamuels 1 Link to comment

I will also be leaving SquareSpace because of their inadequacies. Link to comment
