  Squarespace does not sell the Commerce API separately. API access is an entitlement of the
  merchant's Squarespace site subscription, and the Commerce API keys used by custom applications
  require the top Advanced tier. As of 2026 Squarespace publishes a machine-readable pricing
  document at https://www.squarespace.com/pricing.txt (linked from https://www.squarespace.com/llms.txt)
  that enumerates all four subscription tiers — Basic, Core, Plus, Advanced — across 27 currencies
  and both monthly and annual billing. The prices recorded below are the published USD figures read
  verbatim from that document; the complete multi-currency table is saved beside this file as
  plans/squarespace-pricing.txt. This supersedes the 2026-05 placeholder that recorded
  "Contact Sales" because the human pricing page is JavaScript-rendered.

notes: >-
  Squarespace publishes machine-readable pricing at /pricing.txt and indexes it from /llms.txt,
  explicitly telling agents to prefer the .txt over the JS-rendered /pricing page. Squarespace Plus
  is published in USD only in that document; every other tier lists 27 currencies. Commerce API keys
  for custom applications are gated to the Advanced plan; OAuth Extensions work on any plan.

    The Commerce API is not metered or billed per call. There is no per-request price, no API-only
    plan, and no published API overage. The billing lever is the merchant's site subscription plus,
    on Basic/Core, a percentage transaction fee on commerce sales.

    The document states "Data sourced from the Squarespace billing API" and carries its own
    last-updated timestamp, so it is a generated feed rather than a hand-maintained page.
