Squarespace integration fix + update

Bug

We’ve made improvements to the Squarespace integration to make sure all purchases are coming through to your ConvertKit account in a timely manner. There were some reports that purchase data via the Squarespace integration was delayed, taking hours or a few days to come through.

While we were fixing this bug, we also added in automatic check for expired Squarespace websites. If your Squarespace website expires, we will pause syncing of your integration and check once a week to see if you’ve renewed your Squarespace site to renew syncing needs.
