Turning off order notifications in Squarespace is a straightforward process that can help streamline your email communications by reducing unnecessary notifications. Below are detailed steps to guide you through this process across different notification types.

Steps for Turning Off Order Notifications:

1. Log into Your Squarespace Account:

2. Go to the Squarespace website at squarespace.com and log into your account using your credentials.

3. Navigate to the Commerce Settings:

4. Once you are logged in, select the website for which you want to change the order notification settings.

5. From the Home Menu, click on Commerce.

6. Access the Notifications Section:

7. Within the Commerce menu, find and click on Settings / Notifications. This will take you to the page where you can manage your notification preferences for orders, shipments, and other commerce-related activities.

8. Disable Specific Notifications:

9. In the Notifications section, you will see various types of notifications you can manage. Specifically, look for Order Notifications.

10. Adjust Notification Preferences:

11. Depending on your version of Squarespace, you might see options to receive order notifications for each email associated with orders. Toggle off the notifications you wish to disable. Generally, this involves unchecking a box or turning off a toggle switch next to the email that receives the notifications.

12. Save Changes:

13. Ensure to save your changes. Typically, this happens automatically, but it's always a good practice to look for a Save button to confirm your changes are stored.

Additional Considerations:

1. User Permissions:

2. If you have other team members or contributors managing the store, make sure they are aware of the changes to avoid any missed order processing. You may need to adjust their individual notification settings or inform them about the change.

3. Customer Notifications:

4. If you want to change notifications sent to customers (e.g., order confirmations, shipping notifications), this can usually be managed separately within the same Notifications section. Adjust these settings cautiously, as customers generally expect to receive order-related communication.

5. Testing:

6. After making changes, consider placing a test order (or have a team member do so) to ensure that the notifications are disabled or modified as expected.

7. Documentation and Support:

8. Squarespace’s Help Center offers detailed documentation and step-by-step guides. If you run into issues or have specific questions, this can be a valuable resource.

9. Integration with Third-Party Services:

10. If you use third-party services like Zapier, email marketing tools, or fulfillment services that rely on order notifications from Squarespace, verify that disabling notifications does not disrupt these integrations.

By following these steps, you can efficiently customize your order notification settings in Squarespace, ensuring that your email inbox is not overwhelmed with notifications and helping your team stay focused on more critical tasks.
