Squarespace Commerce: implementation decisions that shape the build

The practical scope includes Store setup, Product pages, Payment setup, Editor handoff, with Store pages, Commerce API, Hosted checkout treated as implementation requirements rather than marketing labels.

A durable approach to Squarespace Commerce separates what the platform provides from what the team must document, own, and maintain over time.

Acceptance of Squarespace Commerce should be demonstrated on the genuine path with real content, real accounts, and representative traffic rather than staged examples.

In practice that means committing to concrete deliverables such as Store setup, Product pages, Payment setup, and Editor handoff instead of leaving the engagement open-ended.
