How do I join?

To apply to join the Circle:

1. Ensure that you're eligible. You must be a contributor to at least three active Squarespace sites.
2. Visit circle.squarespace.com/join-now.
3. Click Join Now.

Why do I see a "Not Yet Eligible" message?

If you see a "Not Yet Eligible" message when you try to join, you may not have three or more active sites linked to your email address.

If you're not a contributor to at least three sites, sign up for our free guide to go further with Squarespace and start taking steps toward becoming a Circle member.

If you are a contributor to at least three sites, follow these steps to consolidate all of them under one email address:

1. Invite the email address as a contributor to each website you manage. This sends contributor invitations to the address.
2. Before accepting each invitation, log out of all Squarespace sites. Otherwise, you may see an error message when you try to accept.
3. Accept invitations to each website.
4. Reapply to the Circle.

If you continue to have issues and believe you're eligible for the Circle, you can contact us here.

How do extended trials work?

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

Do members get discounts, referral fees, or other rewards?

Die Circle-Mitgliedschaft beinhaltet 20% Rabatt auf neue Website- und Online-Shop-ahresabonnements sowie neue jährliche Squarespace-Scheduling-Abonnements.

• Dieser Rabatt gilt für die erste Zahlung auf einem neuen Website- oder E-Commerce-Abo oder für Scheduling in einem jährlichen Tarif.
• The discount doesn't apply to future renewals, reactivations, upgrades, or downgrades.
• The discount isn’t valid in combination with other offers, apart from free-for-the-first-year Squarespace Domains, our G Suite offer, and the discount for domain upgrades.

You can apply the discount in two ways:

• Wenn ein Circle-Mitglied die Website-Probephase oder die Scheduling-Testversion gestartet hat, wird der Rabatt automatisch bei der Kasse angewendet. Dies gilt, egal ob das Circle-Mitglied oder ein Nicht-Circle-Mitglied die Transaktion abschließt.
• Wenn ein Nicht-Circle-Mitglied die Website-Probephase oder die Scheduling-Testversion gestartet hat, wird der Rabatt nicht automatisch angewendet. Um den Rabatt anzuwenden, laden Sie ein Circle-Mitglied als Mitwirkenden mit Abrechnungserlaubnis auf die Website ein. Das Circle-Mitglied kann sich anmelden und die Transaktion abschließen. Der Rabatt wird an der Kasse angezeigt.

How do I manage my membership?

Your membership and benefits are built into your Squarespace websites and your interactions with Customer Support. You don't need to manage anything separately.

How do I change my Circle forum email address?

Your Circle Forum account and your Squarespace account connect to the same email address, which you can change in your account settings.

Changing your email address will disable your Circle Forum account. To reconnect, log in to the Circle Forum with your updated credentials.

How does optimized care work?

When Circle members email Customer Support, we'll see that we're working with an experienced user. This additional context helps us to address members’ questions more efficiently and effectively. Optimized care isn't yet available through live chat.

Are members endorsed by Squarespace?

Members of the Circle are entitled to exclusive benefits, but aren't endorsed or accredited by Squarespace. While it's fine to mention Circle membership in marketing and client communications, members shouldn't misrepresent themselves as being affiliated with or endorsed by Squarespace.
