Domain renewals on Squarespace happen automatically to prevent service interruptions. You'll receive a renewal notice 30 days before expiration, and payment is processed 15 days before the renewal date.

Key Points About Domain Renewal:

• All Squarespace domains auto-renew by default
• Billing is separate from other Squarespace services
• Payment is processed 15 days before expiration
• You can disable auto-renewal through the domain control panel

What Happens If Payment Fails:

1. Domain marked as "overdue" but remains active for 15 days
2. Three payment attempts are made every 5 days
3. Domain expires if payment isn't successful
4. 30-day grace period to reactivate after expiration

Domain Timeline Example:

• Registration date: April 15
• Renewal notice: March 16 (next year)
• Payment processed: March 31
• Expiration (if unpaid): April 15
• Grace period ends: May 14

Free Domain Information:

• First year free with qualifying annual plans
• Renews at full price after first year
• Pre-March 2015 free domains continue free renewal with active annual plans

Payment Management:

• Update billing info through domain control panel
• Grouped domains share billing information
• Reseller domains require payment updates through the reseller
• Check renewal prices in domain details page

If your domain expires, you'll have a 30-day grace period to reactivate it before it becomes unavailable for renewal.
