Connect your Squarespace domain to a site while maintaining separate billing settings and permissions.

Prerequisites:

  • Domain must be parked
  • Website and domain must be on the same Squarespace account
  • Administrative permissions required for both domain and website

How to Connect a Domain:

  1. Navigate to domains dashboard
  2. Click your domain
  3. Select Website
  4. Click Connect existing website
  5. Choose the target site
  6. Click Next, then Confirm

Changing Domain Connection:

  1. Go to domains dashboard
  2. Select your domain
  3. Click Website
  4. Choose Change connection
  5. Pick new target site
  6. Confirm the change

Removing Domain Connection:

  1. Access domains dashboard
  2. Select your domain
  3. Click Website
  4. Select Change connection
  5. Choose Park this domain
  6. Confirm removal

Important Notes:

  • Cannot link domain to specific pages (forwarding allowed)
  • Subdomains are treated as third-party domains
  • To reconnect after third-party service use, remove old records and add Squarespace preset
  • Request site collaborator access if you have domain access only
  • Request domain manager access if you have website access only

Access Requirements:

  • For domain-only access: Request site collaborator role with admin permissions
  • For website-only access: Request domain manager role

This setup maintains separate billing and authorization while ensuring proper domain-site connectivity.
