Squarespace and Stripe a Perfect fit

PORT MELBOURNE, Australia - July 9, 2015 - PRLog -- It is all well and good having a great E-commerce online store but if you have no practical way of taking payments then you may aswell offer your products for free.

Fortunately for online retailers the payment processing market is awash with companies willing to help you successfully and affordably take payments via your online store. Large payment gateway and escrow organisations such as PayPal, Poli and Eway have been offering solutions to online retailers for a number of years. with online shopping platforms such as Shopify offering a whole manner of apps and plugins to easily and quickly accept payments.

Unfortunately for users of Squarespace and their e-commerce solutions in Australia they have until recently been a little left out in the cold with a simple plug in. Here in Australia it was the job of the web developer and programmer to provide a link between a payment processor and the Squarespace online store feature. Thankfully this has now changed with the launch of an increased partnership with Stripe.

Headquartered in San Francisco but with a global reach Stripe is fast becoming one of the go-to payment processing organisations in the world.  With lower fees than many of the rivals and the ability to accept American Express it is clear why they are making headway in this already crowded marketplace.

The team here at Insider Media has another reason as to why they have embraced Stripe and that is the sheer ease in linking a Squarespace online store and E-commerce solution. Squarespace has really embraced this partnership and performed most of the work for the developer and the customer.  Rather than having to install a third party app Stripe is already loaded into the Squarespace platform so after quickly creating a Stripe account it really is as simple as one click and adding it to your store and your ready to accept payments, not just from Australia but overseas aswell.
