A mysterious charge from Squarespace on your statement? Here's how to quickly identify and resolve it.

Common Reasons for Squarespace Charges:

  • Pre-authorization charges ($0.00 or $1.00) when adding payment methods
  • Automatic renewal of website subscriptions
  • Domain renewal fees
  • Google Workspace subscription charges

Charges typically appear as "Squarespace, Inc" or "SQSP" followed by an invoice number on your statement.

How to Check Your Charges:

If You Have Account Access:

  1. Log into your Squarespace account
  2. Go to Billing panel
  3. Select the site in question
  4. Click Invoices
  5. Review recent charges

Without Account Access:

  1. Find the charge on your bank statement
  2. Look for the nine-digit invoice number after "INV"
  3. Contact Squarespace support with this number

Managing Unwanted Subscriptions:

Website Subscriptions:

  • Cancel immediately to take site offline
  • Disable auto-renewal to prevent future charges
  • Request a refund if eligible

Domain Subscriptions:

  • Cancel within 5 days of registration
  • Disable auto-renewal for future prevention

Google Workspace:

  • Check associated domain
  • Cancel per-user subscription if needed

Important Notes:

  • All Squarespace subscriptions are independent and need separate cancellation
  • Disputing charges with your bank may cause service interruption
  • Multiple charges could indicate separate services (website, domain, etc.)
