Product Add-Ons ○ Form Style Packs ○ 7.0 to 7.1 Upgrade Tool
Now you can add up to 4 products as add-ons to any product - a great way to increase order totals! Customizing forms is easier than ever with Form Style Packs. Last but certainly not least, Squarespace released an upgrade Tool to convert 7.0 sites to 7.1 - learn about the pros and cons!
2-Column Mobile Layout on Shop Page ○ Global Navigation Menu Update
Now you can have a 2-column layout for your shop page on Mobile Layout - it is great to have this 7.0 feature back in 7.1! There have been a lot of updates to the backend menu as well, including streamlined options and more sensible grouping. Learn the best tip for finding what you need easily and quickly.
Digital Products to Monetize Your Content
By leveraging Digital Products, you can monetize the content on your Squarespace website without incurring any additional monthly fees. However, it's important to take into account the transaction fees and other limitations associated with it.
Add to Cart from Shop Page ○ Project Management ○ Form Submissions Now Stored in Contacts
Now it’s even easier to add products to the shopping cart directly from the Shop page! You can now see visitor contact info connected to their submitted form data and create a project for the client in the backend - a currently limited tool but could become more in the future.
AI Generative Text in the Text Editor
Getting copy from clients was always my least favorite part of custom web design. This tool can reduce some of that burden, but it should be used in moderation and never without your human input to further refine any outputs.
Fluid Engine Multiselect Resize ○ Image Block Effects
Now you can select multiple blocks while editing to resize them together! In Fluid Engine, you can add effects to individual image blocks (previously only available to section background images).
Form Block Redesign ○ Save & Exit
The form block is better suited to handle global visitors, and the editing process just got quicker and easier with the Save and Exit feature.
Product Details Page Variant Buttons ○ Asset Library Trash
Display the variants for a product directly on the Product Details Page. The Asset Library now has a Trash feature that holds assets for up to 30 days.
Fluid Engine Mobile Order
Truly a timeline moment in the evolution of Squarespace 7.1! Now blocks are displayed in a similar order as seen in the desktop view. This makes adjusting your site’s mobile layout much easier.
Section Dividers ○ v3 Google ReCaptcha
Google reCaptcha v3 eliminates the need for users to check a box and Section Dividers add — you guessed it — pizazz!
Customers Can Update Email Address
Customers with a verified account on your website can now update their own email address in their profile.
Image Overlay ○ Multiblock Alignment
Easily add color overlays and select blend modes to your images in Fluid Engine, and quickly align multiple blocks.
Saved Sections ○ Asset Library
Being able to save page sections you have designed and then insert them anywhere else on your website is hands down one of the biggest time savers yet! The Asset Library added a central location to view all images and videos that have been added to your site.
Text Highlights ○ LiveChat Integration ○ Order Status Page
Text Highlights, LiveChat Integration, and Order Status Page released November 2022.
Shape Blocks ○ Custom Merch ○ Scheduling Invoices
Create visual interest to any page in Fluid Engine with Shape blocks! Printful users will find integrating custom merch to their website much easier, and Scheduling customers can create and manage invoices using the Scheduling mobile app.
Cart Styling Options
Choose to display your shopping cart as an icon or text, and a lot of other styling options are now available!
Video Block Updates
Squarespace added the ability to upload your own video directly to your site, and you can still embed it from YouTube and Vimeo.
Fluid Engine
The game-changing drag-and-drop editor experience from Squarespace! Experience the freedom of placing blocks on a grid instead of using spacer blocks in a 12-column layout.
Scale Text Option
The Text Block toolbar now has a Scale Text formatting option where you can fill the entire block with the text inside it — from edge to edge. Perfect for hero banner text and short snippets.
