If you have a Squarespace website, you can automatically sync your Art Galleria to it, instead of doing it manually.
Before you start
Please ensure that your current Squarespace plan is Advanced Commerce. This is a requirement for the sync service in order to be able to access the API features on Squarespace.

Step 1: Generate the API key in Squarespace
1. Open your Squarespace dashboard. On the left menu select Settings > Advanced > Developer API Keys:
2. Click Generate Key.
3. Enter a name for the key and select all of the following: Products, Read and Write, Inventory and Read and Write.
4. Click Generate Key.
5. Click Copy Key. You will need to paste the key into the Art Galleria Webservice.
Step 2: Set up the integration in Art Galleria
1. In Art Galleria, open the Websites tab, click Webservices and click New Webservice.
2. In the New Web Service page:
Webservice Type: Select Squarespace
API Key: Paste in the API key that you generated earlier
Product Page: Select the appropriate Product Page, which will appear after you paste the API key.
Default Unit: Select the default unit, which must be the same units that are used on your Squarespace website.
Artwork Collections: Finally, select the artwork collections you want to sync with Squarespace.
3. Click Create Webservice.
4. To sync your inventory, you have two options:
(A) Run a manual sync (this is only recommended for the first time you sync). To do this, click the more options (...) icon next to the webservice, and select Sync.
(B) Enable the scheduled sync. You can do this when setting up the webservice, or edit it afterwords to enable this option.
5. Once the sync has successfully completed, you can confirm that the artworks are available in your Squarespace site by going to your Squarespace admin console > Commerce > Inventory > All Products.
Step 3: Display artworks on your Squarespace website
Squarespace offers different options for displaying your inventory. After connecting to Squarespace and confirming your artworks have synced by checking the All Products section, you can then configure how they will display.

Troubleshooting
None of the artworks are syncing to Squarespace.
Please check that:
Your Squarespace site has the Squarespace Advanced Commerce plan.
Your Squarespace site’s measurement standards (Metric or Imperial) match your selected option in the Webservice Sync Settings in Art Galleria. If they don't match you can edit the webservice in Art Galleria to change your settings, or adjust the selection in Squarespace > Settings > Language & Region > Measurement Standard.
Specific artworks do not appear in Squarespace.
Artworks will not be published if:
they are marked private or in Details Pending
they are archived
the associated artist profile is archived
the retail price is missing (not provided)
I want my custom fields to sync to my site.
Historically, integrating custom fields with Squarespace websites has been limited. However, we've recently developed a workflow that enables us to transfer specific custom fields directly into the artwork description displayed on Squarespace.
Contact Us, and let us know which fields you'd like to sync, or describe the specific outcomes you're aiming to achieve. We can then configure these fields to push seamlessly to your Squarespace site, ensuring they appear in the artwork description exactly as needed.
My artworks are being visually cut of after syncing and displaying on my website.
Please check your product image aspect ratio settings in Design > Site Styles, and adjust to suit your requirements.

If you wish to change options, just let us know and we can make this adjustment for you.
