I admire the speed at which she speaks. When watching most KZbin videos, I usually set the playback speed to 1.5 or 2.0. Excellent job, Paige! Your content is incredibly beneficial to me.

[@PaigeBrunton]

Awe I can't tell you just HOW happy this makes me, the comments section is always telling me to slow down my speech, but I'm the same as you, I need to watch most things on 1.5 or 2.0 speed because otherwise it feels like people speak at the speed of molasses. 😂 And so glad the content itself was helpful too!

[@GrayMcQuarrie-GVA]

So good! Outstanding!!

[@irenetorres8073]

That was very helpful!

[@Razorcrew_Cole]

I'm overwhelmed

[@erictsang789]

Paige Can i make a page for selling scheduled excursions with inventory? Like , Monday , and the inventory is for 10 guests only ? Eric

[@tomriver1881]

can we create like Amazon affiliate website thats shop like?

[@tedmap2005]

Hello so I have a question for my Amazon affiliate products is square space is not a good option

[@Razorcrew_Cole]

What if I don't have an accountant??

[@BriHive]

Hello. How can I not show all of my products even if I have Categories and subcategories set up?

[@elizabethleslie5096]

Is there a way to integrate my current booking site through square?

[@PaigeBrunton]

Hey Elizabeth! Great question - depends on the booking site platform you're using. You can for sure integrate many things into Squarespace using the code-block or embed options (email list sign up, appointment booking links etc) so it's possible! Will just depend on what you're using!

[@abigalemchardy2112]

Hi do my customers need to purchase a package after purchasing my square space template?

[@PaigeBrunton]

Yes, correct! In order to have their site live, they need to pay for a Squarespace plan. Btw definitely watch this if you want to learn more about selling Squarespace templates, it’s with Big Cat Creative who sold over $1M in Squarespace templates! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKKtl2xop7umosk

[@abigalemchardy2112]

@@PaigeBrunton okay thank you so much

[@nkechiesan5207]

As an e-commerce web designer, my biggest concerns are the quality of automated email, social media and SMS marketing with Squarespace.

[@PaigeBrunton]

Hey Nkechi! Yes - I totally agree - there are some limitations for Squarespace E-Commerce, but I've found for many purposes, especially smaller stores, or those that also offer services or have a website that is more than just a store, it can be a great solution. Which is your fave platform for E-Commerce?

[@nkechiesan5207]

@@PaigeBrunton thats true - it does work for some shops. And the great thing about Squarespace is simplicity. With Shopify, the plethora of apps can be confusing to choose from and manage. And I also don’t like that each app sometimes has a separate log in and management from Shopify. I think it’s messy. Despite that my fave is Shopify, because it’s built more specifically for e-commerce. I love the two platforms for different reasons so it’s a tough choice. 😀

[@PaigeBrunton]

@@nkechiesan5207 Yes! Couldn't agree more & so beautifully explained - this will be a great comment for others to read! Thanks Nkechi!!

[@tammymaywald1156]

I wanted to watch this, but I can’t understand you. I thought I had hit a FF button or something. If you could slow down a little bit it would really help.

[@Questionablexfun]

There’s actually a setting on KZbin for all videos- the gear in the right corner- you can slow the video speed down :)

[@streetfoodbts2453]

speak slowly thats the trait of wisest people😄

[@ekstrod7132]

where's the fire......slow down...pause for breath!!!

[@Xiox321]

You can clearly see that the fire is on her head.

[@markolmstead4709]

You're talking too fast. And 18 minutes in as you start moving things around, creating a button for "shop" you are zipping through different screens so fast that I pretty much stopped watching.

[@streetfoodbts2453]

yeh you are right those who are not native english speakers or listeners they are unable to understand the fast way of delivering lectures

[@bobbarbara6898]

@@streetfoodbts2453 I agree 100%

[@bobbarbara6898]

I could not follow you. You speak way to fast.. Ecommerce is a complicated topic and you make it impossible to understand!
