PRO TIP: Is Squarespace owned by Square?

No, Squarespace is not owned by Square.

In February of 2019, Square, Inc. announced that it had acquired Fabric, a company that provides a platform for businesses to design and manage their websites.

The acquisition was seen as a move by Square to strengthen its position as a provider of website design and management services. Fabric had been founded in 2011 by Anthony Casalena and Sam Yam.

While it is unclear if Squarespace is actually owned by Square, the acquisition does provide the company with a strong platform for competing with the likes of Wix and Weebly. It is also likely to help Square expand its customer base beyond the small businesses that it currently services.
