Should I use Squarespace Email Campaigns or a third-party tool?
Squarespace Email Campaigns is fine for very basic sending to small lists, but it lacks automation, advanced segmentation, A/B testing, and many integrations. If email is an important channel for your business, a dedicated platform will serve you significantly better. The cost is usually comparable or even lower when you factor in what you get. Most serious Squarespace users migrate to a dedicated email tool within the first year of running their site.
Does Mailchimp have a native integration with Squarespace?
Yes, Mailchimp has a well-known native integration with Squarespace that syncs subscribers from newsletter blocks and form blocks directly to your Mailchimp audience. The integration is straightforward to set up from your Squarespace settings panel. It also supports some Squarespace Commerce data for basic e-commerce automation. It is one of the most popular choices for Squarespace users precisely because of this native connection.
How do I set up abandoned cart emails for my Squarespace store?
Squarespace Commerce does not include abandoned cart email recovery out of the box. You need a third-party email tool that can access your Squarespace shop's cart data. Klaviyo, Omnisend, and Drip are popular choices for this because they have robust Squarespace Commerce integrations. Once connected, you set up an automated flow that triggers when a customer adds items to their cart but does not complete the purchase within a set time window.
Can I capture Squarespace form submissions in my email marketing tool?
Yes. If your email platform has a native Squarespace integration, the connection is usually set up in a few clicks from within Squarespace. If not, use Zapier to watch for new Squarespace form submissions and add them as subscribers in your email tool. Make sure to map all the form fields you want to use for personalization, not just the email address field. Test the connection by submitting the form yourself before promoting it publicly.
What is the best email tool for a Squarespace photography or portfolio site?
For photography and portfolio sites, visually beautiful emails are important. ConvertKit and Mailerlite both offer clean, elegant templates that complement a creative portfolio. Beehiiv is an excellent choice if you want to build a paid newsletter from your portfolio site. Sequenzy is worth considering if you want to automate follow-up sequences for potential clients who inquire through your contact form. All of these connect to Squarespace via Zapier easily.
How do I grow my email list from a Squarespace site?
Add newsletter blocks in high-traffic areas of your Squarespace site like the homepage footer, blog sidebar, and about page. Offer a compelling lead magnet like a free guide, checklist, or discount code to incentivize signups. Use exit-intent popups from your email tool (many platforms provide embeddable popup scripts) to capture visitors before they leave. Test different offer placements and copy to see what resonates with your specific audience.
