What Squarespace's WordPress export actually holds.
Squarespace has an export button, and it makes a WordPress file. Here's one, opened: what it carries, what it leaves behind, and what we do about each.

That’s everything Squarespace exports.

Your domain and email stay exactly where they are.
A domain registered with Squarespace, including the ones that came over from Google Domains, stays yours when the website plan ends, and it can point to your new site. On switch night only the records for the website change.
- Nothing to transfer: the domain keeps renewing at Squarespace, unless you'd like it elsewhere
- Email records aren't touched, so Google Workspace (or whatever you use) keeps delivering
- We check your email still flows before anything is cancelled
Rebuilt to match, and yours to edit.
People choose Squarespace for how it looks, so the design comes across as it is, or refreshed if you'd like. The difference is underneath: every part becomes a WordPress block you can edit, reuse and keep.

Questions about leaving Squarespace.
Anything else? Ask in the box at the top. We usually reply within a few hours.
Contact usDoes Squarespace export to WordPress?
Partly. Squarespace's WordPress export carries your layout pages and one blog with its posts, as text and images. It leaves out store, index, portfolio, album and event pages, any second blog, video and audio blocks, your style settings and custom CSS, and its images are links to Squarespace's servers, which stop loading when the Squarespace site is deactivated. We import the export, pull and re-host everything it skipped, and rebuild the design on native blocks.
Will my site look the same on WordPress?
Squarespace pages are made of blocks, and so are WordPress pages, so the design is rebuilt block for block on native WordPress blocks, not on a page builder. Where Squarespace has one fixed way (index pages, summary blocks), we design a pattern for you, so future pages match the old ones.
Will I lose rankings when I leave Squarespace?
Not if every URL is mapped. Blog slugs can stay as they are; everything else (shop, gallery, event pages) gets a one-to-one 301, crawled before and after the switch. SEO titles and descriptions are carried over page by page, and Search Console is told about the move the same day.
What happens to my Squarespace store?
Physical and service products come out through Squarespace's own product CSV. Their images, extra product information and reviews don't, so we pull those from the live store. Past orders export as a CSV too, to import or archive. Checkout, taxes and shipping are set up on WooCommerce, and the store stays open on Squarespace until the switch, with a short pause so the last orders come across.
Do I have to move my domain away from Squarespace?
No. A domain registered with Squarespace, including one that came over from Google Domains, stays yours when you cancel the website plan, and it can point to your new site. On switch night only the records for the website change; your email records stay exactly as they are. If you'd like everything in one place later, the domain can be transferred then.
Will my images break when my Squarespace plan ends?
Not on the new site. The export only links to images on Squarespace's servers, so we fetch the originals at full resolution and re-host them in your WordPress media library, alt text kept. When the plan lapses, nothing on the new site changes.
What about Scheduling, Member Areas, and Email Campaigns?
Squarespace's built-in extras don't come with you. Each gets a WordPress answer before the move: a maintained plugin for scheduling or memberships, your email provider for campaigns, or a small custom plugin where nothing fits. Scoped and priced before you decide.
How long does a Squarespace to WordPress migration take?
One to three weeks for most sites, built beside your live Squarespace site the whole time. Page count, a store, galleries, and whether the design is rebuilt as-is or redesigned are what move it.
How much does it cost to move from Squarespace to WordPress?
Most sites land between $999 and $2,999, fixed after a free scope. Hosting and an optional care plan are separate and monthly. Your Squarespace plan simply lapses, and because images are re-hosted, nothing breaks when it does.
