Google Workspace eligibility requirements

To sign up for Google Workspace through Squarespace, you need to meet all of the following requirements:

• Location - You must be in one of Google Workspace’s supported countries.
• Website type - You can sign up through a parking page or a website on Squarespace version 7.1 or 7.0. You can’t have a Squarespace 5 site.
• Website subscription - You can be on a website trial, or any website subscription plan and billing cycle. You can’t have a Mobile start plan.
• Permissions - If you are signing up from a website, you need to be a site owner or admin. If you don't have a website and are signing up from your domain's parking page, you need to be a domain owner.
• Domain - Your website or parking page must have at least one custom domain. This can be a third-party domain or a Squarespace domain. If you have a Squarespace domain, ensure you've verified your domain ownership, and confirm your domain subscription is active. If your domain is hosted by a third-party, confirm you properly configured your DNS records to connect your custom domain to Squarespace. Your domain can’t:
• Have a previous Google Workspace or legacy G Suite or Google Apps account.
• Have an Essential Email by Titan subscription.
• Have MX records on the DNS.
• Have a Google Workspace verification TXT record on the DNS.
• Be resold through Google Workspace, which means you already have a Google Workspace account (you created one when you bought your domain through Google Workspace).
• Have email forwarding.
• Homepage visibility - Your homepage must be enabled and visible to the public. Google workspace won’t work if your homepage is hidden behind a page or site-wide password.

Essential Email by Titan eligibility requirements

To sign up for Essential Email through Squarespace, you need to meet all of the following requirements:

• Location - Essential Email is currently available in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada.
• Permissions - You need to be the domain owner.
• Domain - Your site or parking page must have at least one custom Squarespace domain. Third-party and resold domains aren’t eligible. Your domain can't:
• Have email forwarding.
• Have a Google Workspace subscription.
• Nameservers - You need to use Squarespace default nameservers. If you're currently using custom nameservers, switching to Squarespace defaults may affect your site's connection to any services relying on those records.
