Squarespace Best Practices

Currency Object Complexity

All monetary values must use SquarespaceMoney objects:

• Consistent currency handling across all price fields
• Proper decimal precision for currency calculations
• Exchange rate handling for multi-currency scenarios

Design System Integration

Products must consider Squarespace's design system:

• Image sizing and optimization requirements
• Template compatibility considerations
• Color and styling consistency
• Responsive design requirements

POS Integration

Handle POS vs online order differentiation:

if (SquarespaceOrderUtils.isPosOrder(order)) {
  applyPosOrderHandling(order);
} else {
  applyOnlineOrderHandling(order);
}

Inventory Synchronization

Sync inventory across POS and online channels:

private void syncInventoryAcrossChannels(SquarespaceProduct product) {
  for (SquarespaceVariant variant : product.getVariants()) {
    updatePosInventory(variant);
    updateOnlineInventory(variant);
  }
}

Testing Patterns

Test Structure

• Tests in src/test/java/io/drizzl/platform/ecom/platforms/squarespace/
• Use @SpringBootTest with Squarespace-specific mocks
• JSON fixtures in src/test/resources/platform/squarespace/

Mock Examples

@MockBean
private SquarespaceServiceClientFactory sqServiceClientFactory;

@MockBean
private SquarespaceOrderComposerUtils orderComposerUtils;

when(merchantConfiguration.shouldUseContextualPrices()).thenReturn(true);

Platform-Specific Considerations

Website Integration

• Products integrated into website design templates
• SEO considerations for product pages
• Content management integration

Member Areas

• Customer account functionality
• Subscription and membership products
• Access control for digital products

Tax Interpretation Flags

order.setTaxInterpretation(SquarespaceTaxInterpretation.INCLUSIVE);
// or
order.setTaxInterpretation(SquarespaceTaxInterpretation.EXCLUSIVE);

Debugging Tools

Commerce API Testing

// Test Squarespace Commerce API endpoints
String apiUrl = "https://api.squarespace.com/1.0/commerce/orders";
// Include proper authentication and currency objects

Template Testing

• Test product display in different templates
• Verify checkout flow in various designs
• Check mobile responsiveness

POS Integration Testing

• Test inventory sync between POS and online
• Verify order processing from both channels
• Check customer data synchronization

Migration Guidelines

API Version Updates

• Stay current with Squarespace Commerce API versions
• Handle breaking changes in currency object structure
• Test with different template configurations
