Settlement on your domain creates a secure, branded checkout experience for customers. When enabled, shoppers are directed to a custom checkout page on your domain (https://yourdomain.com/checkout) instead of the default Squarespace checkout page.

Requirements for Domain Checkout:

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

Without a custom domain, checkout will use an embedded domain format: https://youraccountid.squarespace.com/checkout

Verifying Domain Checkout Status:

1. Access checkout settings
2. Open the Checkout panel
3. Look for your custom domain under "Checkout on Domain"

Troubleshooting Tips:

For Incorrect Checkout Domain:

• Test purchases in an incognito/private window to see the actual customer experience
• Check checkout settings if custom domain still doesn't appear
• Verify the Checkout URL shows your custom domain, not secure.squarespace.com

For SSL Issues:

1. Open Developer Tools
2. Click SSL
3. Ensure "Secure (Recommended)" is selected

Note: If your site is set to "Private," customers will see a 404 page after checkout, though orders will process normally. Set your site to "Public" to prevent this issue.

This Direct-on-Domain checkout creates a seamless shopping experience that maintains your brand's consistency and enhances customer trust throughout the purchase process.
