Will Squarespace developers actually participate in the discussion instead of ignoring users's questions and concerns like they do on official forums?

How do I add a shopping cart to my site?
added by Chris Cox Aug 13 '12 at 21:44

This smells of low effort, "give me teh codez" mentality. If you were having a specific problem installing a shopping cart, this question would be acceptable. – animuson Aug 13 '12 at 23:46

Yes, I believe a better question is whether Squarespace will offer a shopping cart. If not, are there recommended approaches to adding a cart to the V6 platform. – Big Nate Aug 17 '12 at 20:07
Which shopping cart plugins work best with Squarespace and what are the steps to optimize and implement using web standards? – SquarePlug Aug 17 '12 at 21:44

closed as not constructive by Robert Cartaino♦ Jan 25 at 14:51

This question is not a good fit to our Q&A format. We expect answers to generally involve facts, references, or specific expertise; this question will likely solicit opinion, debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion.

Questions following the “What’s your favorite __?” pattern are explicitly disallowed on SE sites. – animuson Aug 13 '12 at 23:44
