Circle partner discounts

Your Circle partnership includes a discount on new annual website subscriptions, new Email Campaigns subscriptions, and new annual Acuity Scheduling subscriptions. Keep in mind:

  • The discount applies to the first payment of all subscription types with an annual billing cycle.
  • The discount doesn't apply to future renewals, reactivations, or plan changes.
  • The discount is automatically applied at checkout and isn’t valid in combination with other offers.

When the Circle discount applies

If one of the following occurs, the Circle discount automatically applies:

  • If a Circle partner starts the website trial, the discount applies to the first subscription payment, even if a non-Circle partner pays to start the subscription.
  • If a Circle partner doesn’t start the website trial, the discount for the first payment only applies if a Circle partner pays to start the subscription.
  • If a Circle partner starts an Acuity Scheduling trial that isn’t attached to a Squarespace website, the discount applies to the first subscription payment, even if a non-Circle partner pays to start the Acuity Scheduling subscription.

Extended site trials

After joining Circle, every new site you create under your email address starts with an extended trial. Trials started before joining Circle follow our standard 14-day trial period. If you need more time after two weeks, you can extend it.

Circle referral payments

Circle partners can earn referral payments by bringing clients to Squarespace. Squarespace may occasionally run promotions related to the referral payments. For full details and to learn more about our eligibility requirements and referral payment amounts, visit Squarespace Circle referral payments.

Circle dashboard

Open your Circle dashboard to view your current status, perks and benefits, and total points.

The Circle dashboard includes current status, perk points, and referral payments.

Specifically, on your Circle dashboard, you can review the following:

  • Status - View your current status and when it's active until. Click the Status tile to review your current perks and benefits and how to unlock more perks, if applicable. If you haven’t earned enough points to maintain your status next year, we’ll show you that your status is active until the end of the current year. If you’ve earned enough points to meet your status threshold and therefore maintain it for the following year, the “Active until” date will show as December 31 of the following year.
  • Current Points (YTD) - This shows you how many points you have Year-To-Date (YTD) for the current calendar year, and how many you need to reach the next status. Click the Points tile for recommendations on how to earn more points. You’ll see the most recent three subscriptions and permissions which earned you points this year. Click View All to see a table of all past subscriptions, permissions, and referral commissions as far back as 2023.
  • Referral payments - View your year-to-date and next payout totals, and recent qualifying subscriptions. If you're not registered for referral payments, review the instructions for how to sign up.
  • Squarespace updates - Review important updates, including recently launched features, bug fixes, live betas, resources to level up your business, upcoming events, and more.
  • Benefits - Review your current benefits and explore what other benefits you can unlock with different statuses. You can also download your Circle badge to add to your website and let prospective clients know that you’re a verified Circle partner.
  • Support - Contact support with one click and receive expedited service from Customer Support.

Circle Forum

The Circle Forum is a dedicated community space where you can engage with other partners, provide peer-to-peer support, and build your professional network. Additionally, Circle Gold and Platinum Partners can submit feature requests, all partners can participate in product betas, and Platinum Partners can enjoy a dedicated space to collaborate.

Early access and product betas
