How do I connect a payment processor to Squarespace Commerce?

Integrate with Stripe, PayPal, or Square to start accepting payments.

To activate Squarespace Commerce and start accepting payments, connect a payment processor in payment settings. After you connect a payment processor, customers will see its payment options at checkout.

You can connect Stripe, PayPal, or both. Choosing which processor to use for your online store depends on a few factors, like where you're located and which payment methods you want to offer. You can also use Square as a payment processor for Squarespace point of sale in the Squarespace app, or enable Afterpay or Clearpay, buy-now-pay-later services for customers. This guide covers these options and tips on selecting the best one for your needs.

Payment processors in Commerce are separate from any other payment processors you have connected to Squarespace, such as in Scheduling.
