Unlock more benefits by creating more online experiences for your clients.

Squarespace Circle is a partner program for creative professionals. It's free and open to all customers who register. After you become a partner, you'll be assigned to one of three statuses, depending on your work completed on the platform:

• Circle Silver Partner
• Circle Gold Partner
• Circle Platinum Partner

In this guide, learn about the different statuses and how to unlock more benefits to get the most out of your Circle membership.  

Note: Current Circle members who joined before March 3, 2025 will receive Circle Gold status through the end of 2025, unless they earned enough points based on their 2024 activity to qualify for Circle Platinum status.

Membership status 

We use a points system to determine your Circle membership status. Your status reflects your current subscription activity with Squarespace and your engagement with the Circle community, and your status can change over time. To check your current status, log in to your Circle dashboard and view your status in the top-left. 

Your current point count will be shared in the weekly Circle Release Notes emails. Review your notifications settings and toggle on Circle Product Release Notes to ensure you receive these emails. 

Below are the 2025 points requirements for each status: 

How to earn points

You can earn points as you build more subscriptions for your clients, or when you're added as an admin to a client's website. Review the table below to understand how many points you can earn for each subscription type or action: 

Note: You can't earn points for subscription renewals.

Change your membership status 

When you become a Circle member, you're automatically assigned to a status depending on your subscription activity up to that point. 

If you earn more points throughout the year, you may become eligible for a different status. After meeting the points requirement, you'll automatically receive your new status and can start accessing those perks and benefits.

You'll remain in your current status for at least one full term, which includes the rest of the year in which you earn enough points to qualify for a new status, plus the following calendar year. Every January 1, however, your total points will reset to zero to reward points for new subscriptions and Squarespace activity throughout the year. You'll still enjoy the status you earned in the previous year through the end of the term.

At the end of the term, if you've maintained or exceeded the number of points necessary to meet Gold or Platinum status, you'll remain a Gold or Platinum Partner in the calendar year immediately following. 

If you don't maintain enough points, your status will update at the start of the new calendar year immediately following to Silver or Gold, respectively. 

Note: It can take up to 72 hours for your status to update in your account.

Review the section below for examples of how your status can change over time.
