How to Create Service Products in Squarespace: A Step-by-Step Guide
Create service products in Squarespace to sell classes, consulting, and events that don't require shipping. Unlike physical items, customers won't need to pay shipping or enter delivery addresses.
Before creating a service product, consider your needs:
- Service Products: Best for classes or events without specific timing requirements
