You can cancel an incoming domain transfer to Squarespace while it's still in "Transfer pending" status. Here's how to handle domain transfer cancellation:

Cancellation Requirements

• Domain must still be in "Transfer pending" status
• Domain provider must not have approved the transfer yet
• Domain must not have been released by the current provider

To Cancel a Domain Transfer:

1. Go to Domains panel
2. Select the pending transfer domain
3. Click "..." (more options)
4. Choose "Cancel transfer"
5. Confirm the cancellation

Important Notes:

• Contact your domain provider to ensure they also deny the transfer
• Once a domain provider releases the domain, cancellation is no longer possible
• After a successful transfer, domains must stay with the new host for 60 days

If Cancellation Fails:

• Verify transfer status with your current provider
• If domain was already released, wait for transfer completion
• After transfer completes, you can initiate a new transfer away from Squarespace

Best Practice: Cancel the transfer in both places:

1. Squarespace Domains panel
2. Original domain provider's system

This ensures the domain remains with your current provider and prevents any transfer conflicts.

Remember: Acting quickly is essential, as the window for cancellation is limited to the pending transfer period.
