How to Import and Export Content in Squarespace
Content migration on Squarespace is straightforward, allowing you to move assets between platforms while keeping everything organized in one place.
Importing Content
You can import content from:
- WordPress, Blogger, and Tumblr
- Squarespace 5 (version 7.0 sites only)
- For Commerce: Shopify, Etsy, Big Cartel, and .csv files
Import Process:
- Open "Import and Export Content"
- Click Import
- Select source
- Activate imported pages
- Transfer pages to main navigation (optional)
Product Import Limits:
- Version 7.1: Up to 10,000 products per Store Page
- Version 7.0: Up to 200 products per Store Page Use multiple pages to import additional products
Image and Video Migration:
- Images and videos can be imported from WordPress, Blogger, or Tumblr
- Product images import automatically with product details
- Enable metadata import for professional photography management
- Individual images can be downloaded from the Asset Library
Mailing List Migration:
- Import email lists as .csv files from other marketing services
- Export specific email lists or all contacts (including customers, subscribers, members, and donors)
Important Notes:
- Importing creates a static copy; no synchronization between platforms
- Direct content transfer between Squarespace 7 sites isn't possible (except for products)
- Import scope varies by platform (text, images, product details)
- Exported content saves as .xml file
- No bulk image/video export available
For those leaving Squarespace, content can be exported to a .xml file, though you cannot transfer content directly between Squarespace sites.
