SQUARESPACE* Charge (What It Is + Is It Legit?)

Squarespace uses the truncated descriptor "SQUARESPACE*" on bank statements because the asterisk is a formatting convention used by their payment processing system to separate the brand name from any additional billing details, such as a plan tier or account identifier, that may follow it depending on your bank's display character limit. When you subscribe to a Squarespace website plan for your monthly $16.00 billing cycle, the charge is processed through their internal billing infrastructure, which appends the asterisk as a delimiter even when no secondary information is shown. Recognizing "SQUARESPACE*" on your statement confirms a legitimate subscription payment to Squarespace, the website building and hosting platform headquartered in New York.

No, this is a legitimate charge from Squarespace. However, if you did not authorize this charge or cancelled your subscription, you may be eligible for a refund.
