Considerations and Limitations

• Prorated Refunds: Depending on your billing cycle and Squarespace’s policies, you may not receive a prorated refund for any unused portion of your subscription. Review their refund policy to understand if you are eligible for any refund.

• Data Retention: After canceling the subscription, you might only have access to your website and its data for a limited time. Ensure you back up any important data or content before the subscription ends.

• Active Services: If you have multiple services with Squarespace (e.g., email, domains), canceling one service may not automatically cancel all associated services. Verify each service to avoid unwanted charges.

• Renewal Notices: Be aware of the renewal dates for your services to avoid last-minute cancellations that could lead to unintentional charges.

• Custom Domains: If you connected a custom domain through Squarespace but want to stop the recurring payments for the website, ensure you manage your domain settings accordingly. You may need to transfer the domain to another registrar to maintain control over its renewal.

Final Steps

• Monitor Billing Statements: Keep an eye on your billing statements to ensure that no further charges occur after the cancellation.
• Contact Support if Needed: If you encounter any issues during the cancellation process or have specific questions, reach out to Squarespace Customer Support for personalized assistance.

Stopping recurring payments on Squarespace is a straightforward process if you follow these outlined steps. However, always be mindful of the cancellation policies and data retention guidelines to ensure a smooth transition.
