- Squarespace launched Pay Links, allowing freelancers and small businesses to share secure payment URLs anywhere.
- The feature is free for all plans and supports deposits, reservations, tipping, and final payments.
- You can use the tool even if you don’t have a storefront
Website building platform Squarespace just introduced a new feature that makes it easier for freelancers, solopreneurs, and small businesses to get paid, even if they don’t have an online storefront.
Called Pay Links, the tool allows users to create dedicated URLs for payment, which can then be shared across a myriad of different platforms – via text, social media, QR codes or even embedded as links on websites.
“For small businesses and solopreneurs juggling seasonal demands, getting paid should be easy,” Squarespace said in a press release. “Pay Links offers a fast way to collect payments with professional branded design, built-in security, and built-in tracking and analytics tools. »
The company expects this new feature to be particularly useful for entrepreneurs and small business owners who sell their time and expertise, such as consultants, coaches, interior designers and photographers. With Pay Links, they can receive everything from deposits and bookings to final payments and tips.
Many updates this year
All Squarespace users can use Pay Links for free, with no limitations, the company confirmed.
The feature is accessible through the Squarespace merchant dashboard, once connected to a payment processor. Squarespace’s suite of financial tools also includes invoicing, contactless mobile payment, access to capital financing and instant payments.
Pay Links is just a small drop in a sea of updates coming from Squarespace this year. In early October, the company announced a host of new tools and features (63 to be exact), including several key improvements that bring Squarespace in line with its major competitors.
As is typical in 2025, AI is at the center of these updates, with features like Blueprint AI (Squarespace’s AI website builder) and Beacon AI (“your new business partner on the Squarespace platform”). There are also new capabilities to animate and transform blocks, create different layouts for mobile, and import external font styles.
Other updates to marketing tools, domains, and donation features have all been made. You can find all the details in Squarespace’s Refresh 2025 summary.
