Squarespace Domains DNS

No DNS API exists. Squarespace Domains is dashboard-only. Google Domains was acquired by Squarespace in September 2023; full migration completed July 2024. The Squarespace Commerce API covers e-commerce endpoints only — zero domain or DNS endpoints. For programmatic DNS management, delegate to Cloudflare nameservers while keeping Squarespace as the registrar.
