Squarespace Payments enables businesses to process payments, transactions, and payouts through a unified platform. Here's what you need to know about making the switch.

Key Benefits:

• Centralized dashboard for payments, payouts, refunds, and disputes
• Accept major credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, Afterpay, and Klarna
• Enhanced security with PCI compliance and SSL-certified checkout
• Next-business-day payouts to your linked bank account
• Simplified transaction fee structure

Eligibility Requirements:

• Available in select regions (check availability guide)
• Must have a Squarespace trial or paid personal subscription (or higher)
• Website owner/administrator permissions required

Supported Transaction Types:

• Course pages
• Donations
• Invoicing
• Membership sites
• One-time purchases
• Subscriptions
• Video pages

Important Considerations:

• Payment methods saved under Squarespace Payments cannot be transferred back to Stripe
• Sales history remains intact when switching
• Stripe account will be disconnected from Squarespace
• Customer checkout experience remains unchanged
• New bank account connection required for payouts

Switching Process:

1. Receive email invitation "Upgrade to Squarespace Payments today"
2. Open Finances menu
3. Click "Begin using Squarespace Payments"
4. Accept terms and continue
5. Start import process
6. Connect bank account for payouts

Note: Data import from Stripe may take up to 10 days. Product subscription payment methods continue processing through Stripe until import completion.

Additional Resources:

• Transaction and processing fees information
• Account management details
• Dispute resolution procedures
• 1099-k form documentation

For subscription-based businesses, existing customer payment methods will migrate automatically during the transition period.
