Squarespace automatically refunds an annual website subscription canceled within 14 days of its first payment. It does not refund monthly plans, renewal payments, or annual first payments after 14 days. A non-refundable domain registration amount can be deducted when the annual plan included a free domain.
Squarespace has no ongoing free website plan. When the subscription ends, the site becomes private and search engines stop indexing it. The owner retains limited access to billing, domain, commerce, export, and permissions panels and can reactivate on a current plan.
Squarespace does not document pausing the website subscription itself. You can unpublish or hide a site while billing continues. Digital Products can pause for 30 days after the website ends, but that is a separate subscription behavior.
Cancellation preserves site data for possible reactivation and is not permanent deletion. A site can be permanently deleted only after subscriptions are canceled or expired. Account deletion is separate, irreversible, and removes owned sites, content, subscriptions, and linked personal data, subject to legally required retention.
Annual website cancellation ends service immediately. Monthly cancellation takes effect at the end of the billing cycle.
A first annual website payment is refundable when canceled within 14 days. Monthly plans and renewal payments are not refundable.
No. Squarespace subscriptions are independent, so domains, Google Workspace, Acuity, and other services must be reviewed separately.
Squarespace does not document a website billing pause. Unpublishing or hiding the site leaves the subscription active.
No. The site becomes private and its data is preserved for reactivation. Permanent site deletion is a separate action.
No. A canceled legacy plan cannot be reactivated on the same legacy tier; reactivation uses a current plan.
