Can I integrate a Square e-commerce store/site into my main site as a sub-page(s).

Hi,

I’ve been using Square POS for my art sales for a number of years, for conventions and festivals and such. I now am considering trying to use the basic version of the Square’s e-commerce, as a store for my existing site.

FYI, I do have a store currently in my site, but it is very limited and doesn’t connect with Square on the sales side.
Can this be done? As in, setting up only a ‘Store-only’ set of pages in a Square e-commerce site, and then have them linked to, from within my site?

I’m looking around at setup options in the ‘Site Builder’ pages and am not seeing where might accomplish this. The Site Builder seems to want to set up as a stand-alone-only website. Am I overthinking this, or misreading how the Site Builder works?

 

One other question. If you’re designing and trying out the Site Builder and hit the ‘Publish’ button to go live, and then maybe decide "it’s not for you" how do you disable the site? Does a ‘Go Offline’ button then appear?

 

Thx.

HI, you can have a full multi-page website or a one-page product store.  The Retail Format is for the standard online store or the Menu Format which gives the one-page format.

Square has broken down the features into little bits for easier navigation.  Best advice, add pages, add sections, add stories, add galleries and click on every down arrow to expand for more options/features and 3 little dots you can find.  It is easy to navigate and you can not break anything.  Within the Editor you can select from their free image collections also.  

Hope This Helps!
