Jumpseller vs. Squarespace

Overall, Jumpseller is very easy to use. Users manage their store through a straightforward central dashboard, with access to product listings, shipping/fulfilment options, and site design.

Importantly, it’s also possible to add new languages to your store with only a few clicks, setting translation strings for product pages and modifying fulfilment options for specific countries.

“Their platform is super nice, tidy and fast. Is a breeze to work with. If you have any doubt or question or problem their only contact is by mail only, but they answer you in a matter of minutes, I repeat, in a matter of minutes."

“Jumpseller is a good option to create a web business quickly. I would recommend it for those companies that do not have a big budget to create a more personalized website.”

“We have had a good experience with Jumpseller. Really self managed and good support. Good integration with financial services like payment method and shipping services. I think its good option for beginners.”

While the site-builder is very easy to use, it does take a little getting used to. Once you’ve familiarized yourself with the basics, however, you’ll have no trouble changing everything from your logo to your color scheme.

The management dashboard, from where users manage listings, orders, and analytics, is intuitive and easy to navigate.

Beautiful template designs, user-friendly features, website is loading well. Very well coded and developed.

Easy to use, hugely customizable, great templates.

I love Squarespace. I have built my entire business on Squarespace, to annual revenues of over 500K.

While the site-builder is very easy to use, and offers straightforward customization options, it is somewhat limited in terms of functionality. For retailers that don’t want to exercise a high degree of design freedom, this won’t be a problem. But for users without coding experience, that are eager to make extensive modifications to the base themes, the lack of features will likely be an issue.

The silver lining, however, is that Jumpseller makes it easy for users to make changes to theme files via a simple editor. “Jumpdesign” is a service that connects users with developers to make these types of custom changes.

Finally, Jumpseller could do more in the templates department. Only around twenty templates are offered, far less than the likes of Shopify or BigCommerce.

Squarespace Commerce strikes a rare balance for an ecommerce website builder by combining intuitive, accessible customization tools with the option to make more advanced code changes.

Because the site-builder has a lot of options, it does require a little familiarization. But once users have overcome that initial hurdle, an array of customization opportunities open up.

The only downside is that, while the templates are beautifully-designed and mobile-optimized, only ten are offered. If you’re thinking about opting for Squarespace, check that one of the themes meets your needs before signing up to a paid plan. There’s a free trial, so you can take the platform for a test-drive first.

While Jumpseller is very well-priced, only the “Pro” or “Premium” options will be viable for the majority of retailers. Both of these packages include customer accounts, promotion codes, and abandoned cart recovery. If you don’t need these features, then the “Plus” plan will be suitable. You’ll have access to a core set of features, including multichannel sales (Facebook, Instagram, and Google Shopping) and unlimited products.

Larger retailers will almost certainly need the “Premium” option, which allows them to set up staff accounts, utilise multiple domains (for different languages), and access priority support.

Jumpseller doesn’t charge any additional payment fees. You’ll just need to pay the charges for the individual payment gateways. Third-party apps may require you to open a paid account.

All in all, Squarespace offers excellent value for money. The feature-set is extremely robust and includes unlimited products, multi-channel management (through the “Shopping Feed” integration), POS, abandoned cart emails, customer accounts, and more. It’s also possible to sell digital products and subscription services.

The only area where Squarespace falls is the limited add-on library. Compared to a solution like Shopify, Squarespace doesn’t offer smaller, less obvious features like countdown timers or personalized promotions.

To take advantage of all the features, you’ll need to sign up for the “Advanced” plan, but smaller retailers will get by happily on the “Basic” plan. The “Business” plan offers a limited feature-set and is designed for webmasters that want to sell a small number of products.

Jumpseller customer support is a slightly mixed bag. While reports are usually outstanding, often citing response times of a few minutes, help is only offered through email, which may be a problem for some users.

High-priority support, which allows users to schedule a telephone call, is only available through the top-tier premium plan.

The support package offered by Squarespace is excellent and users generally report high levels of customer satisfaction.

Customer support is available 24/7 via email and on Twitter. Live chat is available between 4 AM and 8 PM on weekdays.

Because Squarespace is a well-known and popular site-builder, a large community of users are active on the forums, which is another bonus.

Jumpseller offers a solid selection of core features in conjunction with one clear selling-point: support for multiple languages, payment gateways, and fulfillment options. It is an ideal solution for smaller retailers (without a big development budget) that want to cater to a global audience. Other ecommerce platforms simply don’t offer the same level of functionality in a way that’s accessible to people with limited coding experience.

With Jumpseller, you’ll also have access to speedy support, multichannel sales options, and an intuitive, easy-to-use site editor. You can create an unlimited amount of product listings.

However, retailers that need a more nuanced set of features, along with greater design freedom, might run into trouble. Certain features, like POS (point of sale), gift cards, and advanced analytics, aren’t included in any plans.

If you think Jumpseller might be a fit, take advantage of the free trial.

Squarespace is a popular ecommerce platform and site-builder with a loyal band of users. If you’re looking for an easy-to-use solution with a comprehensive and powerful set of features, then take advantage of the free trial and give it a test-drive.

One of the best aspects of Squarespace is its applicability to retailers with a range of coding abilities. Non-developers can take advantage of the feature-rich site-builder (which is easy to navigate one you’re familiar with all the options) and build a highly-customized site. Developers, on the other hand, can customize and alter a site’s code extensively using the “Developer Mode”.

So what about the downsides? While we’re big fans of Squarespace, it’s not all sunshine and roses. Although the feature-set is excellent - covering omnichannel listings, customer accounts, POS, promotion features, and email marketing - the integration library is a little sparse. Without coding experience, retailers will find it difficult to add smaller features, like countdown timers or personalization, without advanced coding abilities. If you want access to a large add-on library, a solution like Shopify might be preferable. Furthermore, while the themes on offer are superb, there’s only ten of them.
