Newsletter Information
Built-In Squarespace Email/Newsletter Service
There are a few options when it comes to your newsletter/mailing list. By default, I hook up the newsletter to Squarespace’s built-in mailing list software. It is FREE to use the mailing list to gather emails but there IS A FEE to actually send emails. To get around this, you can export the list and import it into any other newsletter service.
To access the newsletter settings
Hover over the newsletter block and click “edit”
Go to the “Storage” Tab
You’ll see some options below that and the Squarespace Email Campaigns will be selected as default.
To find your mailing list
Go back to the menu and click on “Marketing”
THe marketing tab will open
Click on Email Campaigns
Click on mailing lists
And you’ll be able to start new mailing lists or see the emails of people who have already signed up.
Using External Newsletter Providers
If you have another mailing list provider (like Mailchimp, Mailerlite, ConvertKit, etc.,) you can still connect those but there are additional steps that you’ll need to take and it will largely depend on the instructions given by your newsletter provider. Squarespace also integrates directly with Mailchimp.
To find the mailchimp integration
Hover over the newsletter, choose “edit,” and then go to the Storage tab. Below the Squarespace Email Campaigns, you’ll see the “connect other services” link. Click that and it will prompt you to take the next steps.
