Squarespace
Before the connection, you need to get the API Key from Squarespace first.
Generating the API Key
To generate the API Key:
- login to Squarespace (opens in a new tab) with your Squarespace account.
- Select Account Dashboard under your account and navigate to your site.
- From the left menu, navigate to Settings > Developer Tools > Developer API Keys.
- Click GENERATE KEY.
- Type KEY NAME and select the permissions from Read Only and Read and Write based on your needs.
- Click GENERATE KEY.
- Click COPY KEY and make a note.
Connecting to Squarespace
After generating the API Key, sign in to Item DI and follow the steps below:
- Navigate to Merchants > select the desired merchant > Connectors.
- Select Sales Channels under the Live Channels section.
- Click the + New Channels button or the "new channel" text link. The new channels window will appear.
- Select Squarespace from the channels list.
- Fill out the required fields:
- Channel Name
- API Key (generated API Key)
- Click Test Connection.
- If the "Connection Successful" message appears, click Submit. The Squarespace channel will be connected.
- The default switch protocol pop-up window will appear, and the system will automatically enable data syncs including order sync, shipment status sync, and inventory sync.
- To proceed, check the box next to I agree and click Submit.
It’s recommended to enable data syncs when connecting channels. If you skip this step, you can still configure these options in Sales Channel Settings (opens in a new tab). When you switch to other item applications, the connected channels under this merchant will be synced as well.
