Circle member discounts

Your Circle membership includes a discount on new annual website subscriptions, new Email Campaigns subscriptions, Digital Products subscriptions, and new annual Acuity Scheduling subscriptions. Keep in mind:

  • The discount applies to the first payment of all subscription types with an annual billing cycle.
  • The discount doesn't apply to future renewals, reactivations, or plan changes.
  • The discount is automatically applied at checkout and isn’t valid in combination with other offers.

When the Circle discount applies

If one of the following occurs, the Circle discount automatically applies: 

  • If a Circle member starts the website trial, the discount applies to the first subscription payment, even if a non-Circle member pays to start the subscription. 
  • If a Circle member doesn’t start the website trial, the discount for the first payment only applies if a Circle member pays to start the subscription. 
  • If a Circle member starts an Acuity Scheduling trial that isn’t attached to a Squarespace website, the discount applies to the first subscription payment, even if a non-Circle member pays to start the Acuity Scheduling subscription.

If you’re a non-Circle member who started a trial, you can invite a Circle member as a contributor with billing permissions. This way, the Circle member can log in, pay for the subscription, and ensure you receive the Circle discount.

Extended site trials

After joining Circle, every new site you create under your email address starts with an extended trial. Trials started before joining Circle follow our standard 14-day trial period. If you need more time after two weeks, you can extend it.

Circle referral payments

If you're eligible, you can unlock referral payments by bringing clients to Squarespace. After you refer the minimum required qualifying subscriptions, you’ll receive a commission for each subsequent qualifying subscription that you refer. Squarespace may occasionally run promotions related to the referral payment benefit. For full details, visit Squarespace Circle referral payments

Note

Circle Silver Partners can sign up for the referral payments benefit, but they won't generate qualifying subscriptions until they unlock Gold or Platinum status.
