Guest Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) We want to be able to accept images from our customers. These will not be the images we use internally in our site presentation — it’s our buying public who would upload/send us the images for us to process. I see lots of different form fields for collecting, say, contact info, but no file-upload field. Is this possible? ===== Squarespace looks like a great platform for e-commerce if we have widgets to sell. Our customers would fill out a form, submit order info, then we’d fulfil that from a warehouse somewhere. We process images. Customers must be able to get images to us (both onesie-twosie images and hundreds of images in bulk, but we aren’t yet worried about bulk, we’re interested in the onesie-twosies right now). We have no warehouse with widgets to ship. Customer gets an image to us, we process it and get the results back to them. Is there a way to allow our clientele to upload images to us?

colin.irwin Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings, but there is currently no way for a customer / non contributing user to upload images or other content to the site. I'm writing a date localiser plugin - Check out the proof of concept on YouTube and let me know what you think of it You might want to check out my Squarespace template finder Or have a look at my other Squarespace tips Looking for a Squarespace developer,?

Scoobie Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) Using some sort of form - either the Squarespace one or an external one eg Formstack plugging into Squarespace it should be possible I think. I've not done it personally but there would be a way I think. Formstack definitely works with Squarespace My guess is the Squarespace form itself doesn't do this but I've not checked Don't expect to easily integrate it with Squarespace commerce though.

Scoobie Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 You've misread the question I think (or it's been changed!) Link to comment

neeklamy Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I removed the bit about the form from the title, I didn’t think it would materially change the nature of question (just shorten it). The opening line sums it up nicely too. The name is an Anglicised form of the Greek Korvetti — I like to think there’s a little bit of the ancient Hellenic drive in me. Link to comment
neeklamy Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Could there be some kind of integration with Dropbox (or similar) via a 3rd-party site? The name is an Anglicised form of the Greek Korvetti — I like to think there’s a little bit of the ancient Hellenic drive in me. Link to comment
colin.irwin Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Apologies. I took the reference to the absence of a "file upload field" in the discussion about the forms to mean the OP wanted users to upload materials to the site.

Guest Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Sorry for the confusion -- no we do not want our customers adding content to our website. We want them to be able to send images to our processing mechanism. Hope that helps :) Link to comment
