When you cancel your website subscription, we’ll show you your active subscriptions. These subscriptions won’t be canceled automatically when you cancel your website subscription or let it expire.

You’ll continue managing any active subscriptions through your expired site. What you do with these subscriptions depends on how you want to use Squarespace moving forward.

Domains

For a domain you registered through Squarespace, you can move your domain to another Squarespace site, cancel it, or transfer it to another host. For domains you purchased elsewhere and connected to your site, take them with you by disconnecting them and changing settings in your provider’s account. To learn more, visit What to do with your domain if you leave Squarespace.

Member areas

Even after your site subscription is canceled or expires, your Member Areas subscription will still continue on the automatic payment schedule you originally selected. We’ll pause all memberships to your member areas, meaning members will lose access to your content and won’t be charged for subsequent pay periods. You’ll still have access to member profiles and you’re responsible for contacting members regarding paused memberships.

If you reactivate your site subscription, all pre-existing memberships will be reinstated, and members will see charges for the current pay period.

You can cancel Member Areas at any time.

Google Workspace

If you cancel a site subscription that has a Google Workspace subscription, you’ll continue to be billed for Google Workspace through Squarespace. You can still log into your site to manage your Google Workspace account from the Google Workspace panel. To cancel your Google Workspace subscription separately, visit Canceling your Google Workspace account.

Email Campaigns

Even without an active website subscription, you can still access the Email Campaigns dashboard, draft and send campaigns, and manage your Email Campaigns subscription through your expired site. You can cancel Email Campaigns at any time. Before you do so, we recommend exporting your Email Campaigns mailing lists so you can import them to another service.

Scheduling

After you cancel your website subscription, your Scheduling subscription remains active and clients can continue booking appointments from your standalone scheduling page. You can cancel Squarespace Scheduling at any time.

Will my site appear in search engine search results after I cancel?

After you cancel your site subscription, your site won’t be indexed further because it won’t be public. If you don’t move your site to another provider, it’ll eventually disappear from search results. Note that this takes time, and timing can vary based on each search engine’s indexing activity. Squarespace has no control over removing your site from any search engine’s search results after you cancel your subscription.

If you move your site to another provider, a search engine might index the new content after the site is active.

What’s the difference between canceling a subscription and deleting a site?

Canceling a subscription takes your site offline and stops your subscription payments. After your site is canceled, its content is marked for permanent deletion after 30 days.

Deleting a site immediately marks its content for permanent deletion. You can only delete a site that’s already expired or canceled.

Can I reactivate my site after I cancel my subscription?

Yes. To learn more, visit Reactivating a site.
