Questions about switching

Can I bring my site over from Squarespace?

Pages are rebuilt in Sites rather than copied: start from a template, a theme or Build it for me, then add your photos and videos to the site's Assets, from a phone too with Share to Sites. Blog posts are written again in the Sites blog, and words or a link shared to Sites start a new post.

Can I keep my domain?

Yes. Connect the domain you already own: Sites shows each DNS record to add, with every field copyable, and Check Now confirms it before the certificate is set up. Domains are not sold or transferred here, so yours stays with its registrar. Until it is connected, the site can be published at yourname.calistosites.com or calistosites.com/yourname.

What happens to my store and my bookings?

Products are set up in Calisto Shop and appear on the site's product pages, with a cart totaled on the server, discount codes and the order email. Services are set up in Calisto Bookings, where visitors choose a service, who performs it, a day and an open time. Shop goods and food go through one checkout as one order.
