Pros

“You can only choose from a certain number of palettes and while you can customize your palette colors, you can then change something on an individual page within a palette.”
MT

Madeline T.

Owner

“The native integration with Acuity Scheduling makes booking client appointments completely hands-off, and collecting payments through Stripe and PayPal is flawless.”
AW

Angela W.

Graphic Designer

“I can sell my products and services online and provides with all the tools to run my ecommerce, also I like that I can customize everything with my logo and colors to make it feel more personal.”
AR

Amos R.

Owner

Pros

“PayPal is the go-to for fast, secure online payments. While not a full accounting tool, it's excellent for collecting payments, sending invoices quickly, and managing basic expense tracking on the go”
SA

Suman A.

Owner,Bookkeeper,TAxPreparer

“The platform is intuitive, widely recognized, and trusted by customers, which helps increase buyer confidence and makes the payment process smoother. While there is room for improvement in areas such as transaction costs, occasional technical issues, and expanded marketing tools, PayPal has remained a valuable part of my business operations.”
BZ

Briana Z.

Art Instructor

“The platform makes complex payment workflows feel simple, with intuitive navigation, clear transaction history, and useful invoicing tools that support both individuals and businesses.”
BH

Braden H.

Senior Product Designer

Cons

“It's also impossible to make individual changes to fonts/colors/button design without completely modifying site-wide universal settings. If having more design and even functionality control is a high priority, this is not the site-builder for you.”
SP

Stephanie P.

Virtual Assistant

“One downside of Squarespace is that it can feel a bit restrictive when you want more advanced customization—compared to other platforms, you don’t have as much flexibility unless you know some code.”
NC

Nikole C.

“The only negative thing about Squarespace is that it doesn't support multi currencies, and sometimes my clients from outside the state have to use third parties to be able to acquire my services or buy my products.”
AR

Amos R.

Owner

Cons

“While PayPal allows you to accept payments and secures everything for both parties, the payment processing fails when people want to pay with a credit card, due to too many verification steps.”
SM

Sandra M.

Owner

“Customer support repeatedly provided generic responses without explaining the reason for the suspension or offering any meaningful appeal process. While PayPal excels in ease of use and is a trusted payment option for customers, the possibility of losing access to your account without explanation makes it difficult for me to recommend relying on it as your primary payment processor.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Victoria T.

Self-Employed

“I was once unable to claim a payment due to PayPal requiring documentation on my end, which, while I appreciate the heightened security, their automated process had an issue in which it wouldn't accept the document I was providing, even though it met the requirements.”
