Your Squarespace domain can be connected to a Squarespace site while maintaining separate billing and permissions. Here's what you need to know:

Eligibility Requirements:

  • Domain must be parked (not currently connected to another site)
  • Domain and website must be in the same Squarespace account
  • You need admin permissions for both the domain and website

Steps to Connect a Domain:

  1. Access your domains panel
  2. Select your domain
  3. Click "Website"
  4. Choose "Connect an existing website"
  5. Select your target site
  6. Click Next and Confirm

To Change Website Connection:

  1. Open domains panel
  2. Click your domain
  3. Select "Website"
  4. Click "Change connection"
  5. Choose new site
  6. Confirm changes

To Remove Domain Connection:

  1. Navigate to domains panel
  2. Select domain
  3. Click "Website"
  4. Choose "Change connection"
  5. Select "Park this domain"
  6. Confirm removal

Important Notes:

  • Cannot connect domains to specific pages (but can redirect)
  • Subdomains are treated as third-party domains
  • To reconnect after external service use, delete all third-party records first
  • For domain sharing same billing/permissions as website, use domain transfer instead

If Access is Limited:

  • Need website access? Request collaborator status with admin permissions
  • Need domain access? Request domain admin permissions

The domain will maintain its separate billing and permission settings after connection.
