What's new at Squarespace — August 2024

Check out everything new that happened at Squarespace in August below. 

Commerce 

A redesigned Finance panel 

The redesigned Finance panel helps you understand your business’ financial health at a glance. Once you start receiving orders, you’ll have an overview of your payments and upcoming payouts. 

Learn more about managing transactions in the Finance panel. 

Customer Notifications menu moved to Settings 

To streamline the Selling Tools menu, Customer Notifications have moved to Settings. 

Learn more about editing customer email notifications. 

Domains 

Register a domain for multiple years 

You can now register a domain for up to 10 years, depending on the TLDs maximum registration term. If you’ve already registered a domain, you can add more years to it in the Domains dashboard. Click your domain then click Add Years. 

If you don’t see the option to add years, it means your domain is registered for the maximum term.

Well, since we can't get email billing notifications from Squarespace, we can at least now get them from PayPal!

Every month, there are fewer and fewer and fewer updates for Websites. Disappointing.

I guess that's the reason Squarespace got rid of versions; no pressure to release new features or updates.

Suggestion:
- Need customer profiles to be fully customized & edited accordingly; this includes order status and being able to edit / update addresses where needed. More often than not, plenty of businesses do preorders, where a customer may move in the time the preorder is complete, or customers can check out too quickly and miss an apartment and not catch it until its too late and the order has already been sent out. 
- Instead of putting the burden of the business to reach out to tech support and get snippy respones, and be of no help, I'd like to be able to do things on our own without needing to cancel and replace orders for something this minor, and I'd like to be able to update statuses on packages when the system fails to do so automatically.
