What happens to my Squarespace plugins if I cancel my subscription?
It depends on the product. One-time-purchase plugins keep working indefinitely — the code stays on your site and doesn't expire. For the subscription-based Chrome extension, any content you've already copied or styled remains in place after your license expires; you simply lose the ability to copy, import, or export new content until you renew.
One-time plugins
Most Squarewebsites plugins are a one-time purchase with no subscription (Squarewebsites). Once installed, the code stays on your site and keeps working — Universal Filter’s license, for example, never expires (Squarewebsites). Cancelling a Squarespace plan or letting a subscription lapse doesn’t remove the plugin code you’ve already pasted.
Chrome extension subscription
The Chrome extension is the one product that works on a subscription model: the license expires 12 months after your purchase date (Squarewebsites). After expiry, any content, styling, or data you’ve already copied remains working — you just can’t copy, import, or export anything new until you renew (Squarewebsites).
What stays vs. what stops
- Stays working — already-copied pages, content, styling, and any plugin code already on your site.
- Stops working — new copy/import/export actions through the Chrome extension until renewal.
If you’re unsure about a specific product, contact Squarewebsites before cancelling, since refund eligibility for one-time plugins depends on the product and the support already provided (Squarewebsites).
