How do I set up email forwarding on Squarespace?

If you purchased your domain through Squarespace, you can set up basic email forwarding for free. Go to Settings, then Domains, select your domain, then Email. Click Add Forwarding Address, enter the alias you want (info@yourdomain.com, hello@yourdomain.com) and the personal email address where messages should be forwarded. This lets you receive emails at your professional domain without paying for a separate email hosting service.

Email forwarding has limitations — you can receive emails at your custom domain, but replies will come from your personal email address unless you configure your email client to send as the forwarded address. This can look unprofessional. For a fully professional email setup where you send and receive from your custom domain, Squarespace offers Google Workspace integration starting at $7 per user per month through the Squarespace dashboard.

Google Workspace through Squarespace gives you a professional email address (you@yourdomain.com), 30 GB of storage per user, Google Drive, Google Calendar, and the full suite of Google business tools. This is the same service you would get buying Google Workspace directly, but the billing is handled through Squarespace for convenience. For any business that communicates with clients via email, professional email at your own domain is a worthwhile investment in credibility.
