Rate limits

Squarespace Commerce APIs employ a rate limit of 300 requests per minute, an equivalent bandwidth of five requests per second. Requests over the rate limit receive a 429 Too Many Requests response with a cool down period of one minute.

In addition, the Create Order endpoint has a separate, stricter rate limit of 100 requests per hour, per website when an API Key is used for authentication. For clarity, this stricter rate limit does not apply when OAuth is used for authentication.

Contact Customer Care regarding rate limiting or if further assistance is needed while implementing APIs.
