Moving a Squarespace domain between sites is straightforward when you meet the eligibility requirements. Your domain will adopt the billing settings and permissions of the new site after the transfer.

Eligibility Requirements:

• Must have owner/administrator permissions on both sites
• Domain must be connected to the destination site
• Destination site must be paid (not on Mobile Start plan)
• Domain must not be expired or resold
• For parked domains, you need domain owner/manager permissions

Before Moving:

• Domains can move to sites with different currencies
• Automatic renewal settings remain unchanged
• Google Workspace subscriptions transfer automatically if active
• Free domains follow standard transfer rules

How to Move a Domain:

1. Open the Domains dashboard
2. Click your domain
3. Scroll to "Move Domain"
4. Select destination site
5. Click Confirm

The transfer typically completes within 24-72 hours.

Common Issues:

• "No eligible sites" message means you lack qualifying destination sites
• "Cannot be moved" error requires customer support assistance
• Google Workspace won't transfer if suspended
• Campaigns, Member Sites, and Scheduling subscriptions must be repurchased

If You Need Help: Contact Squarespace support with:

• Current site URL
• Destination site URL
• Custom domain name
• Steps completed

The domain billing transfers to the new site, and any existing domain balance remains unchanged. Annual plan sites maintain free domain eligibility even after receiving a transferred domain.

Troubleshooting Note: If issues arise, check your email for instructions from [email protected] with the subject "Error Moving Domain."
