About Squarespace
Squarespace is a hosted platform known for award-winning templates and a polished editor, popular with creative and design-led US brands. Its Blueprint AI tool can generate a starter site from a few prompts, and the commerce entry point is the Basic plan, stepping up to Core and Advanced as your needs grow.
The Basic commerce tier charges a 3% transaction fee, which drops to 0% on Core and above, so a serious store will want at least the Core plan. The app ecosystem is smaller than Shopify's and multi-currency selling is limited, but for design-first US stores the out-of-the-box polish is hard to beat. Sales-tax automation is handled through a built-in integration with TaxJar.
Squarespace was founded in 2003 and is headquartered in New York, USA.
