Buddy

Your Squarespace site sells. WhatsApp keeps them coming back.

Order confirmations and newsletters get lost in crowded inboxes. Connect Squarespace to Buddy and orders, sign-ups and updates reach customers on WhatsApp, where they're read in minutes.

How Squarespace connects to Buddy
squarespaceSign in with SquarespaceOrder eventsContacts and subscribers

You made a beautiful site. Your follow-up deserves the same care.

Squarespace handles the sale. What happens after, the thank-you, the shipping update, the next launch, mostly goes by email and mostly goes unread. On WhatsApp it gets seen.

Today

The sale happens, then the silence starts.

  • Order confirmations lost in promotions folders.
  • Newsletter sign-ups who never open a campaign.
  • Shipping questions arriving by email, days later.
  • No easy way to tell past buyers about new work.
  • Every follow-up written and sent by hand.
With Squarespace and Buddy

Every order and sign-up starts a conversation.

  • A thank-you on WhatsApp as soon as the order is placed.
  • Shipping updates the moment you mark it fulfilled.
  • Sign-ups welcomed in seconds, not in next month's newsletter.
  • New collections sent first to the people who bought before.
  • Replies in one inbox, so nothing slips.

Connect Squarespace once. Then let it run.

Sign in with Squarespace, choose what comes across, switch on a journey. No code blocks to maintain.

How Squarespace and Buddy work together.

Buddy connects through Squarespace's Commerce APIs with your permission. Squarespace notifies Buddy when an order is created or updated, and Buddy reads your contacts and stock so messages match what's true on your site.

Where the WhatsApp yes comes from

Add the Buddy sign-up form to any page with a code block, or to your order confirmation page. Visitors tick "Updates on WhatsApp", and Buddy records the yes with its source.

On connect, Buddy brings in your past orders and contacts, so you can build audiences like "bought a print" straight away.

Messages that know what happened in Squarespace. That's why they get read.

Thank every customer before they close the tab.

The moment Squarespace records an order, a warm thank-you lands on WhatsApp, and the shipping update follows when you mark it fulfilled. Customers stop wondering and start replying.

Three things Squarespace sellers ask before connecting.

Does buying on Squarespace count as a WhatsApp yes?

No. Buddy asks for the WhatsApp opt-in separately and records where and when it came from. Squarespace data adds context to people who said yes, and never adds anyone to your list.

Do I have to edit my site?

Only if you want the opt-in form on a page. Orders and contacts connect with a sign-in, and the form goes in with one code block.

What about my Squarespace email campaigns?

Keep sending them. Buddy adds WhatsApp for the messages that need to be seen quickly, and for subscribers who'd rather hear from you there.

Ask a question
How do I connect Squarespace to Buddy?

Click Connect in Buddy, sign in with your Squarespace account and approve access. Buddy starts receiving new orders straight away and imports your past orders and contacts.

Which Squarespace plans does it work with?

Any Squarespace plan that includes Commerce. Order events need a site that sells products or services through Squarespace.

Can I invite my existing subscribers to WhatsApp?

Yes. Buddy brings in your mailing list subscribers so you can invite them to opt in. Only those who say yes on WhatsApp are messaged.

Where do I put the WhatsApp sign-up form?

Anywhere on your site with a code block, or on your order confirmation page. Buddy gives you the snippet to paste.

Does Buddy change anything on my site?

No. Buddy only reads the orders, contacts and stock you allow. Your pages, design and checkout stay exactly as they are.

What does WhatsApp charge for these messages?

Meta charges for business messages by type and country, billed to your own WhatsApp Business account. Your Buddy plan is separate, and every integration is included in it.

Sell in more than one place?

All integrations

Every connection feeds the same audience, so a customer who buys on two tools is still one person in Buddy.

Give every Squarespace sale a follow-up worth reading.
