Squarespace + Stripe

Use a Stripe card reader with your Squarespace store

Squarespace's app takes Tap to Pay, but it has no Stripe card reader. If your Squarespace store is connected to your own Stripe account, Payment for Stripe runs Stripe card readers and Tap to Pay on that same account.

Squarespace and Stripe questions

Can I use a Stripe card reader with Squarespace?
Not inside Squarespace's app: its point of sale pairs only Square's reader, in the US. With Payment for Stripe you can use a Stripe card reader on the same Stripe account your Squarespace store uses, and payments show up in your Stripe Dashboard next to your online orders.
Does Squarespace POS work with Stripe?
Partly. In the US, Squarespace's app takes Tap to Pay payments through Stripe. In the UK, Tap to Pay needs Squarespace Payments. Squarespace's app doesn't support Stripe card readers.
Does this work with Squarespace Payments?
No. Payment for Stripe connects to a Stripe account you can sign in to. It works when your Squarespace store takes payments through your own Stripe account. Squarespace Payments is a separate processor, so there's no Stripe account of yours for the app to use.
What if Stripe asks me to create a new account?
Stripe lets only one platform control a Stripe account. If another platform controls yours, Stripe asks you to create a separate account when you sign in. You can create it under the same Stripe login and reuse your business details. In-person sales then land in that account, apart from your Squarespace sales.
Do in-person sales update my Squarespace inventory?
No. Sales in Payment for Stripe don't create Squarespace orders or change your stock. Squarespace's own app does that for its Tap to Pay sales.
Which card readers work?
Stripe Reader M2, BBPOS WisePad 3, BBPOS WisePOS E, Stripe Reader S700/S710 and Stripe Reader T600, plus Tap to Pay on iPhone and Android. Reader availability depends on your country.
What does it cost?
Stripe's in-person processing fee plus 1.2% per sale, with a 15¢ minimum per transaction. No monthly fees.
