Before you begin

Squarespace is a Google Workspace reseller, which means you can sign up for Google Workspace through your Squarespace site or purchasing a domain. Companies like Squarespace that resell Google Workspace accounts are required to follow any changes Google makes to their Google Workspace product.

Google Workspace general signup requirements

To sign up for Google Workspace through Squarespace from a website or parking page, you’ll need to meet these requirements. 

• Location - You must be in one of Google Workspace’s supported countries. 
• Website type -  You can sign up through a parking page or a website on Squarespace version 7.1 or 7.0. You can’t have a Squarespace 5 site.
• Website subscription - You can be on a website trial, or any website subscription plan and billing cycle. You can’t have a Mobile start plan.
• Permissions - If you are signing up from a website, you need to be a site owner or admin. If you don't have a website and are signing up from your domain's parking page, you need to be a domain owner.
• Domain - Your website or parking page must have at least one custom domain. This can be a third-party domain or a Squarespace domain. Your domain can’t:
  • Include special characters, like ü, é, or ñ.
  • Have a previous Google Workspace or legacy G Suite or Google Apps account.
  • Be resold through Google Workspace, which means you already have a Google Workspace account (you created one when you bought your domain through Google Workspace).
• Homepage visibility - Your homepage must be enabled and visible to the public. Google workspace won’t work if your homepage is hidden behind a page or site-wide password.

It’s not possible to simultaneously register a Google Workspace account to a Squarespace domain and Squarespace subdomain. You can only choose one. As an alternative, consider adding a user alias domain or secondary domain.

Free Google Workspace offer eligibility

We offer a free year of Google Workspace to customers with websites on our higher tier plans. Beyond the general requirements to sign up for Google Workspace through Squarespace, you must meet additional requirements to claim the free offer, which you can read about in Free Google Workspace offer.

Pricing and features

The table below shows the pricing and features of the three Google Workspace plans we offer. You can add multiple email addresses, or "users." The number of users determines your total monthly or annual price.

To learn more, visit Google Workspace pricing, billing, and invoices.

Note: If your Google Workspace subscription is subject to state and local sales tax, you’ll see the taxes added at checkout. To learn more, visit our guides on taxes in the United States, United Kingdom, European Union, or Australia.

Can I integrate an existing email account?

The Google Workspace integration is only available for new Google Workspace accounts and best suited for those who don’t have email for their domain yet.

• If you already have email through another third-party provider, you can migrate to Google Workspace through Squarespace, but note that this requires some coordination with your email host. Keep in mind, it's not possible to use multiple email providers with a single domain.
• If you already have email for your domain through Google Workspace but want to switch your billing management to Squarespace, it’s possible to free up your domain from an existing Google Workspace account. Then, you can sign up for Google Workspace through Squarespace, as if for the first time. Keep in mind that this option will remove your domain from the existing account and rename affected users, and you may want to continue to pay for and access your account through Google or your reseller.
   

Alternatively, you can keep your email with your provider and still use it as form storage, as a link, or on a contact page.

What can I do with Google Workspace and Squarespace together?

Connecting to Google Workspace through Squarespace brings more of your online presence together. You can manage Google Workspace tasks without leaving Squarespace, like adding users/email addresses, renaming users, and reviewing invoices.

Connect your Google Workspace email to your site

After signing up for Google Workspace, you can connect your custom email address to different areas of your site. This ensures any communication on your site goes to your custom email address. For next steps, review the table below.

Note: Don't use your Google Workspace address as your Squarespace account email address. If your domain expires or you forget the password for both accounts, you could be locked out of Squarespace. If you've already done this, we recommend changing your account email address.

I already signed up for Google Workspace

This integration is best suited for those who don’t have email for their domain yet, and is only available to new Google Workspace accounts. If you signed up for Google Workspace through Google or another reseller, it's not possible to link it to your Squarespace site, unless you free up your domain. Otherwise, you’ll continue paying for and accessing your account through Google directly.

Migrate to Google Workspace from a different email provider

If you already have an email account through a different third-party provider and want to switch to Google Workspace, you can migrate to Google Workspace through Squarespace. This step requires some extra coordination with your email host.

To begin this process:

1. Enter your domain name into the Google Admin Toolbox. Click Continue to allow Google to search their system for an existing account associated with your domain.
2. Follow the prompts to add the contact email address for your Google Workspace account. Click Continue. Google will ask to follow-up with you via email with more information.
3. Use the information Google sends you to coordinate with your email host.
