Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 10:40 pm

When you create a new account on Squarespace, you are given the option to pay with a credit card or PayPal. If you choose to pay with PayPal, you are charged a 2.9% + $0.30 fee, which brings the total cost to $20.00.

If you choose to pay with a credit card, you are charged a 3.30 fee, which brings the total cost to $21.30. .

PRO TIP: If you are seeing a $20 charge on your Squarespace account, this is likely for a domain privacy renewal. Domain privacy allows you to keep your personal information (such as your name, address, and phone number) private when someone looks up your domain name.

This fee is not specific to Squarespace – it is the same fee that is applied to all online payments made with a credit card. The fee is applied by PayPal and by the credit card companies, and it is intended to cover the costs associated with processing these transactions.

Some people might argue that the fee is too high, and that it should be lowered. Others might argue that the fee is necessary in order to cover the costs associated with processing these transactions.

Ultimately, it is up to each individual to decide whether they feel the fee is worth it.
