I admire the speed at which she speaks. When watching most YouTube videos, I usually set the playback speed to 1.5 or 2.0. Excellent job, Paige! Your content is incredibly beneficial to me.

[KristyColakidis]

Hi Paige I am loving your video, Can you advise I have a crystal shop I am starting however I can't see where in squarespace to enter the cost of goods or the wholesale amount I paid for the product. Is there a way to be able to enter the wholesale and retail prices so I can accurately monitor the profit and have access to the information on hand to create sales?

[RebeccaStraub-mu]

I have a question about the Store Policies section that you mentioned. I have legal documents for my website disclaimer, shop policies & terms of service, and privacy policy. They are located in the footer of each page of my website. Is it be acceptable to include a hyperlink within the Store Policies section that corresponds to my actual legal documents or do I need to copy/paste them in the Store Policies text blocks?

What if I don't have an accountant??

[tomriver]

can we create like Amazon affiliate website thats shop like?

[tedmap]

Hello so I have a question for my Amazon affiliate products is square space is not a good option

[jacobsteele]

I can't add video to the item when I click on edit product, only pics. You can't add a block below the product either, to put the video there. And you can't add a button to link to video either. Ive spent lots of hours building this website, running into this is a real problem, enough to make me go with another platform. Its crazy to me that I can add photos but not video!!!???!!!

[brihive]

Hello. How can I not show all of my products even if I have Categories and subcategories set up?

[abigalemchardy]

Hi do my customers need to purchase a package after purchasing my square space template?

[erictsang]

Paige

Is there a way to integrate my current booking site through square?

[nkechiesan]

As an e-commerce web designer, my biggest concerns are the quality of automated email, social media and SMS marketing with Squarespace.

[tammymaywald]

I wanted to watch this, but I can’t understand you. I thought I had hit a FF button or something. If you could slow down a little bit it would really help.

[Mark-Roche]

Paige can I say something you’re videos are great but my god slow down with the talk it’s like trying to listen to someone going at 100 mph lol

[streetfoodbts]

speak slowly thats the trait of wisest people😄

[ekstrod]

where's the down...pause for breath!!!

[markolmstead]

You're talking too fast. And 18 minutes in as you start moving things around, creating a button for "shop" you are zipping through different screens so fast that I pretty much stopped watching.

[bobbarbara]

I could not follow you. You speak way to fast.. Ecommerce is a complicated topic and you make it impossible to understand!
