Import items from Squarespace

If you have an online store based on the Squarespace platform, you can import your products using the Channable extension in Squarespace.

Before you start

You'll need

  • A Squarespace account

Step 1: Install the Channable extension in Squarespace

  1. In Channable, open the project where you want to import your product data.
  2. Go to Setup, click + Set up import, and select Squarespace.
  3. Click Connect with Squarespace. This will redirect you to the Channable extension in Squarespace's extension store.
  4. Install the Channable extension to the site you want to connect to. You will need to log in to your Squarespace account if you haven't yet done so.
  5. Agree to the requested permissions. By clicking Allow, you provide Channable with the necessary rights needed to synchronize your product and orders data.

You'll be redirected back to Channable to finalize your connection. 

Step 2: Set up your Squarespace connection

After installing the Channable extension, a pop-up window will appear in Channable to configure your Squarespace connection.

  1. Give your Squarespace connection a descriptive name (e.g. "Squarespace import").
  2. Click Start import. You'll be redirected to the Edit Mapping page to map your product information.
     

Step 3: Map your products

This page displays your import fields (fields retrieved from your Squarespace site [e.g. price, description, title]), and corresponding project fields (Channable's standardized fields used to streamline channel setups).

Note: Our system will automatically detect and map most import fields our standardized fields, but it's important to review and adjust these before importing.

Before you continue

  1. Compare and adjust mapping: 
    Review your Import fields against Channable's matched Project fields. If a field was matched incorrectly, click on the field to select a different field.
  2. Check and correct field types:
    Check that the right field type is assigned to your project fields. If a field has the wrong type, click Edit next to the field, select the correct type in the dropdown, and click Save & Import.
  3. Exclude fields (optional):
    To exclude a field from being included in your product data, click the checkbox in the Select column for that field and click Do not import selected fields.

Once you've finished mapping, click Save & Import to start importing your product data. Depending on how much data you're importing, this can take some time. 

Note: Check the Status column in Setup to check your import progress. Your product data is fully imported when the Status is Finished.

 

Step 4: Review your imported items

After your product data has finished importing:

  1. Go to the Items page to view your imported products.
  2. Click on an item to see detailed information.
