Squarespace student discount

Information on qualifying for, and applying a student discount offer code.

Last updated January 10, 2024

If you're a current student at an eligible school, you can receive 50% off your first year of an annual website plan. The education discount is verified and distributed by Student Beans.

Terms and eligibility

These terms apply to the student discount:

  • The discount is 50% off the price of the first annual plan purchased on your site. Our Personal, Business, and Commerce billing plans are eligible. Squarespace Domains, monthly website plans, Mobile Start plans, and reactivated sites aren't eligible for the discount.
  • The discount applies to the first payment for your site. If your site auto-renews, or if you upgrade or downgrade your plan, you'll be charged the full price for the next payment.
  • The discount isn’t valid in combination with other offer codes.

Tip

If you made your first payment for a new site within the last seven days, you can request a retroactive discount.

To receive the discount, you need to meet these eligibility requirements:

  • Enroll as a current full-time student at an eligible college or university. The discount isn't available to alumni, faculty members, staff, high school, or elementary school students.
  • Register with Student Beans and complete their verification process.
  • Redeem the offer code provided by Student Beans before its expiration date. Offer codes are valid for the remainder of the calendar year. You can get one offer code every 12 months through Student Beans.

Tip

We suggest obtaining the offer code from Student Beans when you’re ready to pay for your site.
