About Cancel Squarespace Export
Canceling Squarespace isn't hard. The tricky part is timing it right and keeping your content.
Here's the step-by-step:
Log into your Squarespace account. Click your profile picture in the top right. Select "Account Settings." Scroll down to the "Subscriptions" section. Find the website you want to cancel. Click "Cancel Subscription."
Squarespace will try to keep you. Expect discount offers, feature reminders, and "are you sure" screens. Click through them. Confirm cancellation.
Your site stays live until the current billing period ends. Paid through December? It works until December 31st even if you cancel in October. You don't get early refunds.
The refund policy is strict. First 14 days of any subscription, initial or renewal, you can request a full refund. After that? Nothing. Cancel your $624/year Commerce plan on day 15 and you've lost that money.
What happens after cancellation takes effect:
Your site becomes unpublished. Visitors see a generic Squarespace error page. Your content stays in your account, for a while. Squarespace says they may delete inactive sites eventually. Domains registered through Squarespace continue renewing unless you cancel those seperately.
Before you cancel, export everything.
Squarespace has a built-in export. Settings > Advanced > Import/Export > Export. It creates an XML file with your text content. Useful for moving to WordPress maybe. Useless for keeping your design.
For an actual copy of your site, design included, use our tool. Enter your URL while the site's still live. We render every page and package it as HTML files. Images, fonts, CSS, the works. That ZIP file is your website, independent of Squarespace.
Host the export on Netlify's free tier. Your site lives on. No monthly fees. Same design visitors saw before. The only difference: you can't edit it with Squarespace's visual tools anymore.
Common cancellation scenarios:
Switching platforms? Export first, set up the new site, then cancel. Closing a business? Export for archive purposes, then cancel. Just don't want to pay anymore? Export and host static files free.
Don't let your content vanish because you forgot to export before canceling. Squarespace keeps it briefly, but "briefly" isn't defined. Grab your files while you control the timeline.
Cancel when you're ready. But export before you cancel.
