## Questions about importing

### Can I move my website off Square Online?

Square lets you export your items as a spreadsheet, but not your website. The import rebuilds every page, item and category from your public address as real files, which you can download as a zip at any time.

### What happens to my items?

Every item becomes a page of its own at the same address, with its photos, price, options and description, and every category page lists its items. You can also keep them as a list in the Database, just ask the AI.

### Does online ordering keep working?

Orders and payments are not imported. Buy buttons lead to your Square checkout or another payment link you choose, and the AI sets them up with you.

### Are orders and customer accounts imported?

No. Orders, payments, customer accounts and inventory stay in Square. The import brings over what visitors see on your website: pages, items, categories, blog posts, images and texts.

### Does it work with my domain?

Yes. When you connect your domain to Website, the pages open at the same addresses as on Square Online, so old links and Google results keep working.

### Can I import a square.site address?

Yes, as long as the website is published and open to visitors. You can also paste your own domain.
