Squarespace Source Data Export

Prepare Squarespace Products, Customers, Orders, and optional blog content export files for Next-Cart source data file upload.

A complete Squarespace export gives Next-Cart the source files required by the selected migration path.

When to use this guide

Use this guide when:

Squarespace is the Source Platform;
Next-Cart shows source data file upload for Squarespace;
you need to prepare Products, Customers, Orders, and optional blog content files before upload.

Before you begin, confirm that:

Requirement	Why it matters
Squarespace site access	You need permission to open Commerce or Selling areas and export store data.
Customer or contact export permission	Customer exports may be managed from Commerce, Contacts, or customer groups depending on the site setup.
Order export permission	The account must be allowed to export order data.
Blog export decision	Export blog content only if it is in the approved migration scope.
Secure storage location	Prepare a local folder for CSV and XML files.

Data type	Export file	Notes
Products	`products.csv`	Export all products unless your approved scope is intentionally limited.
Customers	`customers.csv` or contacts CSV	Export the approved customer group or all relevant contacts.
Orders	`orders.csv`	Use filters only when they match the approved migration scope.
Blog content	WordPress-format XML	Optional. Use only when blog content is in scope.

Create a folder such as:

source-exports/
└── squarespace/
    ├── products/
    ├── customers/
    ├── orders/
    └── blog-content/

Sign in to Squarespace.
To export products, go to Commerce > Inventory or Selling > Products.
Select Export all and download the products CSV.
To export customers, go to Commerce > Customers or Contacts > Customers.
Select the approved group, such as Customers, Subscribers, Donors, or All contacts.
Open the actions menu and choose Export All Profiles or Export All Contacts.
Confirm the export and download the customers CSV.
To export orders, go to Commerce > Orders or Selling > Orders.
Apply only the approved status or date filters, then select Export or Download CSV.
Download the orders CSV.
If blog content is in scope, go to Settings > Advanced > Import / Export.
Select Export, choose the WordPress option, wait for processing, and download the blog XML file.

File	Place it in
Products CSV	`source-exports/squarespace/products/`
Customers or contacts CSV	`source-exports/squarespace/customers/`
Orders CSV	`source-exports/squarespace/orders/`
Blog XML	`source-exports/squarespace/blog-content/`

Keep the original file names where possible. If you add context, include only the export date or scope label.

You have Squarespace Products, Customers, Orders, and optional blog content files ready for upload to Next-Cart.

Check	Pass condition
Products	The products CSV contains the expected products.
Customers	The customers or contacts CSV contains the approved customer group.
Orders	The orders CSV covers the required status and date range.
Blog content	The XML file is present if blog content is in scope.
File integrity	CSV and XML files open without corruption and retain original headers or structure.

Issue	What to check
Products are missing	Re-export from the product or inventory area and confirm no unintended filters were applied.
Customers are missing	Confirm the selected contact group contains the expected customer records.
Orders are incomplete	Check status and date filters before exporting again.
Blog XML is missing	Confirm blog content is in scope and repeat the WordPress-format export.
Content formatting differs from the source site	Treat styling and layout as target-side content work unless a specific Custom Service requirement is approved.
Required data is not available in standard exports	Document the missing data and submit it as a Custom Service requirement.
