#4 - Squarespace Products v2
Squarespace is updating their product detail pages (PDP) and product collection pages. Squarespace is calling this update “Products v2” and it will effect the underlying css & html.
All of my plugins are updated and good to go — no need to worry about those if you have them. If you’ve copied some of my tutorial code or code catalog, those might need adjusting. I’ve created an overview article of what Squarespace is changing and which of my code snippets are effected.
