To migrate a Squarespace domain between sites, ensure you have the proper permissions and meet all eligibility requirements. Here's what you need to know:

Eligibility Requirements:

• Must have site owner or administrator permissions on both sites
• Domain must not be expired or resold
• Destination site must be paid (not on Mobile Start plan)
• Site must be active (not expired)

Before Migration:

• Domain can be migrated between sites with different currencies
• Automatic renewal settings will remain unchanged
• Google Workspace subscriptions can be migrated automatically
• Email campaigns, member sites, and booking features must be repurchased

Migration Steps:

1. Open domain dashboard
2. Click Domains
3. Select "Migrate Domain"
4. Choose destination website
5. Review information and click "Confirm"

Domain transfer typically completes within 24-72 hours.

Common Issues:

• No eligible sites message: Ensure destination site meets requirements
• Transfer error: Check email for "Domain Migration Error" notification
• Site not visible: Request administrative access to destination site

Google Workspace Considerations:

• Cannot have two active subscriptions on one site
• Account must be active (not suspended) for successful migration
• Automatically migrates with domain transfer

Free Domain Notes:

• Monthly plan migrations create $0 invoice
• Annual plan migrations maintain existing domain balance
• New free domain available with annual plans

For Migration Support:

• Use domain owner's registered email
• Provide both site URLs
• Include custom domain name
• Describe current progress in process
• Contact Squarespace support for assistance

Migration can be completed through customer support, Squarespace Forum community, or by hiring a Squarespace Expert.
