Keynotes:

• Kajabi and Squarespace can be connected through a third-party integration tool.
• Kajabi provides a broader range of features than Squarespace.
• Considering Kajabi’s advanced capabilities, migrating from Squarespace to Kajabi could be beneficial.

Have you ever wanted to use the best parts of Kajabi and Squarespace at the same time? Good news, you can! In this blog, we’ll show you how to connect these two great tools. We’ll keep everything simple and easy to understand.

First, let’s look at what Kajabi and Squarespace do:

Kajabi is an all-in-one platform for selling digital stuff. With Kajabi, you can:

  • Make online courses
  • Create membership sites
  • Use tools to market and sell your products

Squarespace is different. It’s a website builder. It helps you make great-looking websites without knowing how to code.

Now, you might be wondering how to make these two works together. The answer is a tool called Zapier. Think of Zapier as a bridge. It connects to different apps and makes them share information automatically. The best part is that you don’t need to be a tech expert to use it!

Integrating Kajabi and Squarespace can make your life easier. It lets you use the best parts of both tools without having to choose just one. In this guide, we’ll walk you through why you might want to integrate these platforms, what you need to get started, and how to set it all up. By the end, you’ll know how to make Kajabi and Squarespace work together to help your online business grow.

Why Would You Want to Integrate Kajabi and Squarespace?

You might be wondering why you’d want to use both Kajabi and Squarespace together. After all, aren’t they both for building websites? Well, not exactly. Let’s break it down in simple terms.

The main difference between Kajabi and Squarespace is what they’re best at. Kajabi focuses on helping you sell digital products, while Squarespace is primarily a website builder. So, if you want to make an online course or membership site, Kajabi is the clear choice. But if you also want a professional-looking website for your business, Squarespace can help with that.

Let’s look at some examples:

  • Course Building: Kajabi is a pro at this. It has lots of tools to help you make great online courses. Squarespace can do it too, but it’s pretty basic. If you’re serious about selling courses, Kajabi is the better choice.
  • Email Marketing: Kajabi has this built-in. You can easily send emails to your students or customers. Squarespace doesn’t have this feature. So, if you want to do email marketing, you’d need Kajabi or another tool.
  • Website Design: This is where Squarespace shines. It’s really good at helping you make beautiful websites without needing to know how to code.

So, why connect them? Well, by using both, you get the best of both worlds. You can have a gorgeous website (thanks to Squarespace) and powerful course and marketing tools (thanks to Kajabi).

When you connect Kajabi and Squarespace, you can do some cool things:

  • Collect Customer Data: When someone buys something on your Squarespace site, their info can be automatically sent to Kajabi.
  • Automate Orders: You can set up your system to automatically give people access to your Kajabi course when they buy it through your Squarespace site.
  • Gather Leads: If someone signs up for your newsletter on Squarespace, they can be automatically added to your email list in Kajabi.
  • Trigger Emails: You can set up automatic emails in Kajabi based on what people do on your Squarespace site.
  • Email Marketing on Autopilot: Use Kajabi’s powerful email tools to send automatic emails to people who interact with your Squarespace site.

By integrating these two platforms, you’re creating a powerful system that can handle both the looks of your website and the behind-the-scenes work of selling and managing online courses. It’s like having a beautiful storefront (Squarespace) with a super-efficient warehouse and office (Kajabi) working together. Pretty cool, right?

Before we jump into the steps of setting up the integration, here’s what you’ll need:

  • A Kajabi account
  • A Squarespace account
  • A Zapier account (you can sign up for a free one if you don’t have it)

That’s it! Once you have these accounts set up, you’re ready to start connecting them.

  4. Pick an action: After you choose the trigger, you’ll need to decide what happens next. For instance, if someone fills out a form on Squarespace, you might want to add them to your email list in Kajabi.
  5. Select your data: Tell Zapier which information should be sent from one app to the other. In our example, you’d choose which details from the Squarespace form should be added to the Kajabi email list.

Once you’ve set everything up, Zapier will handle the automatic transfer of information between Kajabi and Squarespace according to the rules you’ve set. This means you won’t have to manually move data between these platforms, Zapier does it for you based on the workflows you create.

  • Automatically create access to a Kajabi course whenever someone buys a product through your Squarespace site, streamlining course enrollment.
  • Send a welcome email from Kajabi to new sign-ups on your Squarespace site, helping you engage with your audience right away.

The flexibility of Zapier allows you to customize these automations to fit your specific needs. Whether it’s connecting different data points or streamlining your processes, you can set up Zaps to handle repetitive tasks efficiently. With this automation in place, you can focus more on growing your business while Zapier takes care of the routine data transfers and notifications.
