  • Save any changes
  1. Unlock the Domain
  • Go to "General Settings" in Manage Domain menu
  • Select "Disable" next to Registrar-Lock
  • Save changes
  1. Get Authorization Code
  • Click "Email Auth Info" next to Auth Info/EPP Key
  • Check owner's email for the code
  1. Start Squarespace Transfer
  • Open Domains panel in Squarespace
  • Click "I already have a domain"
  • Enter domain name

Important Notes:

  • Transfer typically takes up to 15 days
