Squarespace AI is new technology that changes the game for all Squarespace store owners. In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has become increasingly popular for business applications. AI tools are shown to have a wide range of capabilities from automating repetitive tasks and providing data insights, to enhancing customer experiences.
With Squarespace now taking advantage of its own AI tools, sellers now are able to streamline store operations. When you pair Squarespace AI with other automation, you’re able to easily manage your e-commerce business better. This article will provide an overview of how e-commerce businesses can leverage Squarespace AI to boost sales and efficiency.
Squarespace AI: How it works
For all Squarespace users, access to Squarespace’s native AI tool is now possible and can aid you in streamlining important tasks for your business. There are several areas business owners can apply the use of Squarespace AI to their store to make managing operations, and key store updates a simple and quick process.
Product listings
One key application of Squarespace AI is optimizing product listings. The platform can generate tailored AI-powered product descriptions that are concise and appealing. The product descriptions can be altered to be customized or can also be regenerated to offer new suggestions. This content can provide the base for what then can turn into the perfect product description that you need. This helps you save time by actively helping you develop this type of content faster.
Email campaigns
Squarespace AI can also be used to generate text for email campaigns.you can type in a prompt to Squarespace AI and then it will generate text based on the text you provided. This text can then be used for different email campaign types such as newsletters or in welcome sequences. When you’ve received your newly generated text, you then have the option of having it rewritten to fit your needs. Squarespace AI gives you the options to Simplify, Shorten, or Lengthen the text so it can be better suited to your needs.
Website content
On any part of your website that requires text, you’re able to use Squarespace AI to generate new text based on the prompt you input. For every text box, there will be a lightning bolt icon that allows you to then access the AI tool. There are prompt options to choose from such as, Paragraph, Sales Pitch, or Blurb to get you started. You can also then enter in a prompt of your choosing. Once the text is created, you can then make any additional changes before adding it to your Squarespace site.
Other ways to use AI and automation
While Squarespace’s native AI tool is the perfect addition to streamline sellers store management, there are other areas in your operations that can also benefit you, if they are automated.
Automation for customer experience
Providing excellent customer service is crucial for any e-commerce business, and automating key parts of the experience is essential for providing high-quality support. Instead of trying to manage everything manually, Squarespace store owners can use extensions like Delighted and LiveChat to streamline interactions. These apps are available for download from Squarespace Extensions.
Delighted makes it easy to collect customer feedback across channels through surveys and reviews. It provides insights to identify dissatisfied customers and improvement opportunities. LiveChat enables 24/7 live chat support directly on your storefront. Customers can get real-time answers from chat agents without having to pick up the phone or send emails.
Together, these automation tools give brands the power to monitor experiences, connect with shoppers instantly, and resolve issues quickly. Rather than getting bogged down in support logistics, store owners can focus on delighting customers and driving more sales.
Automation for finance and accounting
In managing your Squarespace business, one of the key areas that requires your oversight is finance and accounting. This aspect of business has a tendency to overwhelm business owners especially those who don’t have previous experience in these areas. Because of this, accounting software becomes the perfect solution for managing your business finances.
With accounting software, you’re able to gain access to reports that give you crucial insights into your business performance and cash flow. These areas are important for your oversight as they dictate your next steps as a business owner. Having an accounting software in place is crucial to ensuring you are consulting the right numbers to manage your business effectively.
Once you’ve chosen an accounting software, automation becomes possible through an accounting integration. Squarespace + Xero, Squarespace + QuickBooks Online and Squarespace + MYOB automatically sync Squarespace transactions to your accounting software on a daily basis.
Through Amaka’s integrations, you’re able to have access to data that is up-to-date and error-free. You can customize how you track products and categories for more detailed reporting. With an accounting integration in place, you will save time that would otherwise be spent on manual work.
