Legacy website billing plans explain what happens with older Squarespace subscription plans and how they differ from current offerings.

If you're on a legacy plan, you can find this information in your site's Billing panel under current subscriptions. These plans are no longer available for new sign-ups, but existing customers can continue using them as long as their subscription remains active.

Important points about legacy plans:

  • Once you leave a legacy plan, you cannot return to it
  • Switching to current plans typically offers more features
  • Some features may become unavailable when switching to newer comparable plans
  • Legacy plans are often less expensive than current pricing

Specific Legacy Plan Types:

Cover Page Plan (discontinued November 2016):

  • Existing subscribers can continue their subscription
  • Cannot be converted to a website subscription
  • Plan unavailable after expiration

Squarespace Select (discontinued November 2021):

  • Support continues for active subscriptions
  • Enterprise customers should explore current enterprise solutions

When changing from a legacy plan:

  • You'll gain access to newer features
  • Some features might become unavailable
  • Consider carefully which current plan matches your needs
  • Commerce features may require upgrading to Business or Commerce plans

For businesses requiring Commerce features, it's recommended to choose either:

  • Business Plan
  • Commerce Basic Plan
  • Commerce Advanced Plan

Remember that while prices may increase over time, legacy plan users often maintain lower rates than current offerings as long as their subscription stays active.
