How to Cancel Squarespace Free Trial

Do You Actually Need to Cancel?

If you signed up for a Squarespace free trial without entering a credit card (the default), there is nothing to cancel. The trial runs for 14 days, and if you do not subscribe to a paid plan, it simply expires. No charges. No automatic billing. No action needed on your part.

You only need to take action if you entered payment information and subscribed to a paid plan during or after the trial. In that case, you are canceling a subscription, not a trial - see our guide on canceling a Squarespace subscription for those steps.

What Happens When the Free Trial Expires?

Your site is suspended. It becomes inaccessible to visitors. The temporary squarespace.com URL stops working.

Your content is preserved. All pages, blog posts, images, design settings, and configurations are saved. Nothing is deleted.

You can return anytime. Log in to your Squarespace account months or even years later, and your trial site is still there. Subscribe to a paid plan to reactivate it exactly as you left it.

No charges occur. Without payment information on file, Squarespace cannot bill you. The trial expiration is entirely passive.

How to Actively Delete Your Trial Site

If you want to remove your trial site entirely rather than leaving it suspended, follow these steps:

Step 1: Log in to your Squarespace account at squarespace.com.

Step 2: Go to Settings > General.

Step 3: Scroll to the bottom and click Delete Site.

Step 4: Confirm the deletion. Your site and all its content are permanently removed.

Only delete if you are certain you will not return. A suspended trial site costs you nothing and preserves your work.

Before You Cancel: Features Worth Reconsidering

If you are canceling because the trial did not meet expectations, consider whether you explored these built-in features:

Templates. Did you try multiple templates? Squarespace has 150+ options. A different template might better suit your needs.

Portfolio and galleries. If you need to showcase visual work, Squarespace's portfolio tools are among the best available.

Blogging. Full blogging functionality with scheduling, categories, and multiple authors.

SEO tools. Built-in SEO tools and analytics on every plan.

E-commerce. Online store functionality on Business plans and above.

Custom domain included free for the first year on annual plans.

24/7 support is available during the trial - ask questions before deciding.

No Action Needed - The Trial Expires on Its Own

If you did not enter payment information, your Squarespace free trial cancels itself after 14 days. No charges, no billing, no action required. Your content stays preserved in case you return later. If you want to remove the site entirely, delete it in Settings > General.
