How to hide prices on Squarespace
If youβve tried to hide prices on your Squarespace website but discovered the prices still appear in search results, this solution is for you! It explains how to really remove prices on a Squarespace v7.1 website, not just visibly hide them.
Whatβs the difference?
Hiding prices with custom CSS will only hide them from humans, but the price information will still be there in the page data. This data provides search engines with contextual information about the product. Itβs great for a site's performance in search results but it can be a problem if you are trying to hide the prices! Services like Google will read your supposedly hidden $0.00 price and display your product as FREE in their shopping results. Obviously thatβs not a good look for your premium product!
Why might you want to hide your prices?
There are various reasons why you might want to hide product prices on a Squarespace website. For example:
To maintain perceived value for exclusive products, like artwork or sculptures.
To avoid showing fixed prices for customisable products or services.
To adapt pricing for specific audiences or sales strategies.
To meet the terms of a reseller agreement (common with skincare products) that prevents you publicly displaying prices.
Step 1: Set the price to 0.00
If you want a price to be removed, the first step is to set the product price to 0.00. You can change this by editing the individual product.
Step 2: Removing prices from the page
The code below should be added to the Code Injection Footer panel. If you arenβt sure where to find this, my guide should help.
If youβve set a productβs prices to β0.00β, this code will remove this price from the product schema. It does this by looking for "0.00" and replacing it with "null", telling robots that a price is not available for this product. It wonβt affect products with a valid price (above 0.00).

After adding this code, and saving the changes, the code will start working. However, please note that it can take weeks for search engines and price comparison engines to notice the change and update the data they present to users.
Why isnβt the price hidden in a Schema Validator?
Schema validators like Schema Markup Validator donβt show real-world results. They generally fetch the page and parse the data without executing JavaScript, which means they will read your original unmodified page before this script modifies the data. For this reason, they cannot be used to test the workaround provided in this guide. This doesn't mean that the workaround is broken; it isnβt. This just means the validator is showing you the state before the script runs.
In practice, Googlebot is a two-pass crawler so, although it indexes the raw page quickly, it should then come back to render the page with a full JS engine, including the workaround. This should feed into Google Shopping and rich results with the modified data.
Squarespace doesn't provide access to the server or template layer where the JSON-LD is generated, so a JavaScript-based approach like this is the best available option. Other solutions cannot be used.
