Thinking about selling CBD products on your Squarespace website?

There are a few things to know ahead of time. Most importantly, you won't be able to use the built-in Squarespace e-commerce for your online sales. Squarespace uses Stripe and PayPal for their e-commerce payment gateways and neither of those allows for the sale of CBD products.

Want to sell CBD on Squarespace, but not sure where to start?

Going down rabbit holes that lead to nothing but frustration?

Ready to ditch the texts and DMs and let people buy your products at any time from your website?

This course will walk you through the exact steps to add a CBD shop to your Squarespace website.

In fact, this is the exact same process I use to set up CBD stores for my own clients. We’ll pair the Square payment gateway with a third-party e-commerce platform that we’ll embed into your website.

Important: You will also need to follow regulations that vary by local area. Some good places to get started are to review federal laws for CBD products and check CBD legalization by state.

Here’s what the CBD & Squarespace course covers:

  • First, I’ll walk you through applying to the Square payment gateway CBD program and what to be aware of when you apply.

  • Then I’ll show you how to pair Square with a third-party shop. This solution is FREE forever for up to 10 products and <$20/month for up to 100 products.

  • We’ll walk through best practices for setting up the shop.

  • I’ll show you how to embed the shop into your existing Squarespace website.

  • We’ll look at shop design options.

  • And we’ll also cover answers to common questions and review pitfalls to avoid.

please note: instructions are for US-based businesses

FAQs

How easy is it, really?

CBD shop on Squarespace

It depends on your skill set. If following instructional videos is not typically daunting for you, I’d say you’ve got this! I break everything down into short videos and small steps.

How long is this course?

There are just under an hour of videos in the course, ranging in length from 1 minute to 8 minutes per video. Everything is self-paced… you can speed things up, slow them down, and pause as needed. Work through the course over a day or do a little each day for a week - it’s up to you.

Is this course for Squarespace 7.0 or 7.1?

Both! You can use the same steps for either version of Squarespace for US-based shops.

What Squarespace hosting plan will I need?

You’ll need to be on the Business Plan to allow us to embed the shop. You do NOT need to have a Commerce plan.

What if I need extra help or have more questions?

The platforms I recommend in the course have great customer service! You can reach out to them directly for free help. If you’d like to hire me to help with setup, you can do that too. I’m doing my best to keep the course cost low.

Will this work for selling CBD on Squarespace for shops outside the US?

I’ve only used this process for US-based clients. My guess is that you could use the shop process I walk through here and connect a different payment processor for CBD products based on your location, but I don’t know for certain.

What if I don’t learn anything?

If you find this course doesn’t work for you, contact me within 7 days of purchase and I’ll happily refund you.
