When transferring site ownership, the current owner can assign ownership to another contributor while retaining administrator-level permissions. This process affects all associated subscriptions except connected domains.

Prerequisites:

• Only the current site owner can transfer ownership
• The new owner must already be a contributor
• Billing information stays unchanged unless updated
• Each site can have only one owner

Transfer Steps:

1. Invite the future owner as a contributor
2. Ensure they accept the invitation
3. Open Permissions and Ownership panel
4. Click current owner's name under "Owner"
5. Select "Transfer Ownership"
6. Verify account credentials
7. Choose new owner from dropdown
8. Click Continue and Confirm

New Owner Tasks:

• Update billing information
• Review domain contact details
• Manage former owner's permissions
• Verify Squarespace Payments connection
• Familiarize with site features

Special Cases:

• Parked domains require attachment to a website before ownership transfer
• Acuity subscriptions need separate ownership transfer
• Deceased owner cases require special access requests

Important Notes:

• Former owner becomes a contributor with admin permissions
• Owner's email verifies ownership in specific situations
• Domain billing remains separate from website permissions
• Billing information stays unchanged unless manually updated

This change affects all subscriptions including Google Workspace and Acuity Scheduling, ensuring smooth transition while maintaining site functionality.

For deceased site owners' cases, relatives or executors can request special access through proper channels.

Remember to review all associated services and permissions after completing the transfer to ensure proper site management and security.
