Settlement on a domain allows customers to complete checkout directly on your custom secure checkout page, enhancing trust and maintaining brand consistency throughout the purchase process.

When enabled, customers see a checkout URL like: https://yourdomain.com/checkout

Requirements for Domain Checkout:

• Custom domain or subdomain
• SSL enabled with "Secure" settings
• Public site status

Without a custom domain, checkout occurs on embedded domains (https://youraccountid.squarespace.com/checkout).

Verifying Domain Checkout Status:

1. Access checkout settings
2. Open Checkout panel
3. Check if custom domain appears under "Checkout on Domain"

Troubleshooting Common Issues:

Wrong Checkout Domain

• Test purchases in incognito/private window
• Verify checkout settings show custom domain URL
• Ensure SSL security settings are set to "Secure"

404 Errors After Checkout If customers see a 404 page post-checkout:

• Check if site is set to "Private"
• Switch site status to "Public"
• Note: Orders still process correctly despite 404 errors

For optimal performance:

• Keep SSL certificate current
• Regularly verify checkout settings
• Test purchase flow in private browsing mode
• Maintain public site status

Remember: Domain checkout automatically activates when meeting all requirements, creating a seamless shopping experience for customers.
