Accept a website contributor invitation

Last updated August 21, 2026 15:30

Accept an email invitation and start collaborating on a website.

This guide covers what to do when someone invites you as a contributor to a Squarespace site.

Also try: Removing yourself as a contributor.

Note: Squarespace domains that don't share billing information with a website have different contributor settings than those in this guide. To learn more, visit Managing domain permissions.

Step 1 - Open the contributor email

When someone invites you as a contributor, you'll receive an email invitation with the subject line “New Squarespace Contributor Invitation.” Open the email and click Accept invitation.

Step 2 - Log in or sign up

Log in or sign up using the email address you want to use to manage the site.

Tip: To switch between the existing login and account creation screens, click Create account or Log in in the top-right corner.

If you already have a Squarespace account

If you already have an account, you'll be prompted to log in. You can either enter your account email address and password, or log in using a social account. If you enabled two-factor authentication, you're prompted to complete login with a passkey or an authentication code.

If you're already logged into an existing account, click Continue with this email to accept the invitation from that account. Otherwise, click Log in with a different email.

If you don't have a Squarespace account

If you don't have a Squarespace account, sign up by clicking Create account. When you create an account, pick your login information. You can either:

• Use an email address and password to log in. We recommend using an email address you can easily access.
• Use your Apple, Facebook, or Google account to save time and log in with one click. You’ll be prompted to log into that account and make the connection to Squarespace.

Note: If you try to sign up with a social account and see an error that says Email address required, ensure you have an email address on file for that social account.

I didn't receive an email invite

If the invite isn't in your inbox, check your spam folder or search for no-reply@squarespace.com. If you still can't find it, ask the the person who invited you to manually send you the invitation link.

My email address is wrong or needs to be changed

To change your listed name, email address, or profile picture, edit your profile.

Troubleshoot error messages

Error message: You already have permissions on this website

This message appears when you accept a contributor invitation while logged into an account that already has site permissions.

If you're adding permissions to a different account, accept the contributor invitation in Incognito mode. You can then log into the correct account after clicking Accept invitation.

Error message: This email address was not found

This message appears when the email address  isn’t linked to a Squarespace account. If you don't have a Squarespace account, click Create account.

If you have a Squarespace account, check the email address for typos. Change or recover your account email address if needed.

Error message: Invalid password

This message appears when the password doesn't match the email address. If you don't have a Squarespace account, click Create account.

If you have a Squarespace account, carefully reenter the password to avoid typos. Reset your Squarespace password if needed.

Error message: Change login method (You usually log in using…)

Each account is set to log in with an email address and password, or through Apple, Facebook, or Google. If you get this error message, you logged in with a different method than the one you signed up with. Log in the same way you signed up, or change how you log into Squarespace.

Error message: Invalid Invitation Code

This message appears if the invitation was already accepted, or if the person who invited you canceled it. Contact the person who invited you and ask them to resend the invitation.

Error message: No such account, Account removed

This message appears if the Squarespace site you were invited to was deleted or its URL changed. Contact the person who invited you and ask them to resend the invitation.
