Media and Content Handling

During imports:

• Post URLs are maintained where possible
• Product images import alongside product details
• Image metadata can be imported for galleries

Mailing List Migration

You can:

• Import mailing lists via CSV files from other email marketing services

• Export all contacts including customers, subscribers, members, and donors

Important Limitations

For exporting content when leaving Squarespace, you can generate an XML file containing all compatible content. Product data can be exported to CSV format for use with other platforms or different Squarespace sites.
