- Squarespace launched Pay Links, letting freelancers and small businesses share secure payment URLs anywhere
- The feature is free across all plans, supporting containers, bookings, tips and final payments
- You can use the tool even if you don’t have a storefront
Website building platform Squarespace has just introduced a new feature that allows freelancers, solopreneurs and small businesses to get paid more easily, even if they don’t have an online storefront.
Called Pay Links, the tool enables 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 effortless,” Squarespace said in a press release. “Pay Links offers a fast way to collect payments with professional, branded design, built-in security and integrated tools for tracking and analytics.”
The company expects the 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 retainers to bookings, final payments and tips.
Lots of updates this year
All Squarespace users can use Pay Links for free, without any restrictions, the company confirmed.
The feature can be accessed through the Squarespace merchant dashboard once connected to a payment processor. Squarespace’s suite of financial tools also includes invoicing, tap-for-pay on mobile, access to capital funding and instant payouts.
Pay Links is just a drop in the bucket of updates that Squarespace has delivered this year. In early October, the company announced a slew of new tools and features (63 to be exact), including several significant improvements that bring Squarespace in line with leading competitors.
As is the norm in 2025, AI is front and center for these updates, with features like Blueprint AI (Squarespace’s AI website builder) and Beacon AI (“your new business partner across the Squarespace platform”). There are also new abilities to animate and transform blocks, create different layouts for mobile and import external fonts.
Several updates to marketing tools, domains and donation features have all been made. You can find all the details in Squarespace’s Refresh 2025 overview.
