Squarespace is an all-in-one cloud-based platform that allows businesses to build and host professional websites without coding. It includes a CMS, SEO tools, built-in analytics, ecommerce (physical/digital products, subscriptions, services), appointment scheduling via Acuity, and email marketing. Pricing is subscription-based, billed monthly or annually (annual plans are discounted), ranging from approximately $16 to $99 per month depending on the tier. There are no perpetual licenses or one-time fees — businesses never own the software, making this a clear operating expense. It is especially popular among small businesses, creative professionals, restaurants, and ecommerce merchants.

Documentation tips

-   Squarespace subscriptions are fully deductible as an ordinary and necessary business expense — retain the monthly or annual invoice from your Squarespace billing dashboard.
-   If you purchase an annual plan, you may deduct the full amount in the year paid under the cash method, or spread it across the subscription period under accrual accounting.
-   Domain registration fees purchased through Squarespace may be a separate line item — these are also deductible operating expenses.
-   Squarespace transaction fees (beyond Stripe/payment processor fees) on lower-tier plans are deductible as a cost of doing business.
-   If the website serves a mix of personal and business purposes, only the business-use portion of the subscription is deductible.
