To connect a Turbify domain to Squarespace, follow these essential steps for a proper DNS connection:

Before Starting:

• Ensure your Turbify plan is domain-only, not including site hosting
• Review Squarespace's third-party domain connection requirements

Step 1: Initialize Connection in Squarespace

1. Go to Domains panel
2. Click "Use a domain I own"
3. Enter your domain name
4. Select Turbify from the dropdown
5. Click "Connect domain" and "Continue"
6. Keep the DNS Settings panel open for reference

Step 2: Access Turbify Settings

1. Log into your Turbify account
2. Locate your domain in the Domains section
3. Click "Domain" under Control Panels

Step 3: Add First CNAME Record

• Source: [unique code from Squarespace]
• Type: CNAME
• Destination: verify.squarespace.com

Step 4: Add Second CNAME Record

• Source: *
• Type: CNAME
• Destination: ext-cust.squarespace.com

Step 5: Add A Record

• Source: @
• Type: A
• Destination: 198.185.159.144

Important Notes:

• Connection takes 24-72 hours to complete
• Monitor progress in Squarespace DNS Settings
• Don't delete email-related records
• Use DNS checker tool if verification fails

Troubleshooting:

• Wait 72 hours before troubleshooting connection issues
• Check DNS records using the checker tool in DNS Settings panel
• Contact Turbify support for account-specific issues

The connection is complete when your domain shows a "Connected" label in the Squarespace Domains panel and all DNS records show green labels.
