Zapier let’s you create automations based on visitor activity. Tip: Both Squarespace and Wix integrate with Zapier- and you’ll want to take advantage of this. It’s another example of Squarespace taking the time to get a feature right. Squarespace is the only website builder that can syndicate podcasts. Syndicating is critical to a podcast website- it’s what allows you to submit your podcast to Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Wix offers a Podcast Player but it doesn’t syndicate podcasts. Setting a suggested amount for donations.įinally, here’s one last example: podcasts. You don’t want donors having an ecommerce experience and you’ll find suggested amounts on every major non-profit- it’s a best practice. I used to work for a non-profit and these three features are critical.

Squarespace on the other hand has an excellent, fully-featured donation system- it’s much better: FEATURE

Wix can technically accept donations but it’s just a basic donation button that sends visitors to Paypal. Here is what editing a restaurant menu looks like on Wix- watch how many clicks it takes to edit one item:Īnother example of Squarespace doing a better job of features is donations. Squarespace may not match Wix on every feature, they often do a better job at the features that they do match. Squarespace Often Does A Better Job On Features For example, Wix Chat starts at $10 for the ad-free version and Wix Events charges a 2.5% service charge on all ticket sales. Important: Many features in the above list cost an additional fee (paid on top of your monthly paid plan). Requires integration with a 3rd party provider such as Tawk. The only way to get these features with Squarespace would be to integrate with a 3rd party provider. Features Wix Supports (And Squarespace Does Not)įor example, below is a list of features that Wix supports out of the box. Overall, I would characterize it like this: Wix has more features but Squarespace tends to do a better job of features. It’s really only when you move beyond these core features that the differences become clearer. In recent years both Squarespace and Wix have aggressively moved beyond websites and into online presence- each launching their own online booking features, ecommerce and email marketing. There are core features that every website builder just needs to have- for example:īoth Wix and Squarespace have these core features covered.
