Domain verification is no longer required for branding

Domain verification used to be required to unlock full branding features, but that requirement has been removed. Your logo, brand name, and fonts are available as soon as you connect your Squarespace site and sync your brand.

How branding works now

Connecting your Squarespace site is the proof-of-ownership path for branding. Once connected, open Customize → Brand and click Sync from site, or open Customize → Global Styles and click Re-sync to import your logo, colors, palette, and fonts. The branding settings apply immediately to the hosted public event page. On the calendar widget, widgets with existing custom style overrides keep those overrides until you select Use brand colors. Outgoing emails use the configured brand name once brand sync completes.

What changed

• The old Verify your domain step and the DNS TXT record are no longer part of the branding setup.

• The daily DNS re-verification job has been removed.

• Outgoing emails use the configured brand name after brand sync completes. Emails sent before sync finishes can use the previous brand or a fallback name, and demo-mode emails use the platform identity.

If you previously added a DNS TXT record for verification, you can remove it. Your existing branding settings remain active.

Need help?

If your branding is not showing as expected, make sure your Squarespace site is connected and that you have synced your brand in Customize → Brand. For manual adjustments, see Brand settings: colors, logo, and fonts.
