studiojacandco Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Hi all, I'm fairly new to selling Squarespace builds to my clients, and I'm wondering what the standard/best practise is when it comes to charging clients for their Squarespace Subscription, hosting, ongoing charges etc etc. Am I best to just add the clients credit card as a payment method, or make use of the 20% discount, pay for it myself and then charge the client for this? Any feedback/suggestions is greatly appreciated 🙂 Regards, Jaclyn Link to comment

I use Honeybook for all my contract stuff and never have to deal directly with customer credit card info. What I have found most people are okay with is I create the site, add them as a contributor/co-owner after they pay my invoice in full (not before with full permission). Once they are added I walk them through how to purchase their plan and any other add-ons they are purchasing. Once they are settled I transfer the site and leave my self on as a contributor if I am maintaining and remove myself if I'm not.

creedon Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 (edited) I agree with @sayreambrosio. This is pretty much how I do it. Then you aren't left hanging, paying for someone else's site and the hassle that ensues. If they insist on you picking up the tab for anything, run, don't walk.

mahayes Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 The business model for a very successful web designer I know charges the client a monthly fee - typically around $150 - 200 per month. This includes hosting, maintaining the site, etc. How would this same model work using Squarespace I wonder? Link to comment
