Customers can complete their purchases through a secure, customized checkout page on your domain, showing a URL like https://yourdomain.com/checkout. This feature enhances trust and maintains consistent branding throughout the purchasing process.

Requirements for Domain Checkout

• Custom domain or subdomain (including transferred domains, external domains, and subdomains)
• SSL enabled and set to Secure

Default Behavior Without a custom domain, checkout uses your integrated domain (https://youraccount.squarespace.com/checkout).

Verifying Domain Checkout Status

1. Navigate to Checkout Settings
2. Open the Checkout panel
3. Look for your custom domain URL (https://yourdomain.com/checkout)
