Payment on your domain enables a secure, custom checkout experience directly on your website's domain. When customers make a purchase, they'll see a URL like https://yourdomain.com/checkout instead of being redirected to Squarespace's standard checkout page.

Automatic Eligibility Requirements:

  • A custom domain or subdomain (including Squarespace domains, transferred domains, and connected third-party domains)
  • SSL enabled and set to "Secure"

For sites without a custom domain, checkout occurs on the integrated domain (https://youraccountid.squarespace.com/checkout).

Verifying Your Checkout Domain Settings:

  1. Navigate to Checkout settings
  2. Look under "Payment on your domain"
  3. Verify your domain appears as https://yourdomain.com/checkout

Troubleshooting Common Issues:

If Your Custom Domain Isn't Showing:

  • Test in an incognito window (being logged in can affect the display)
  • Check checkout settings to ensure eligibility
  • Verify SSL is set to "Secure" under Developer Tools

404 Errors After Checkout:

  • These occur when your site is set to "Private"
  • Orders still process successfully
  • Set your site to "Public" to prevent this error

If you're experiencing issues:

  1. Check your checkout settings
  2. Verify SSL configuration
  3. Ensure your site is public
  4. Test in incognito mode

Following these steps ensures a seamless checkout experience for your customers while maintaining your brand's professional appearance and security.
