How to automate Squarespace user provisioning, and what it actually costs

Summary and recommendation

Squarespace, the website building platform, offers limited SCIM provisioning that's restricted to Enterprise customers using Okta. While Squarespace supports SSO through SAML 2.0 with multiple identity providers (Okta, Entra ID, Google Workspace, ClassLink), SCIM provisioning is only available via Okta's Enterprise integration. This means organizations using other identity providers like Entra ID or Google Workspace have no automated provisioning option, despite having SSO access. Even with Okta, the SCIM integration only supports basic user lifecycle operations (create, update, deactivate) with limited role assignments restricted to Admin and Website Editor permissions.

The mismatch between SSO availability and SCIM support creates operational friction for IT teams managing multiple identity providers. Organizations using Entra ID or Google Workspace can authenticate users through SSO but must manually provision and deprovision accounts, creating security gaps when employees leave or change roles. For marketing teams and agencies managing multiple Squarespace sites, this manual overhead becomes particularly problematic as user access spans across different client projects and internal sites.

The strategic alternative

Squarespace has no native SCIM. Automate offboarding, user access reviews, and license workflows across every app, including the ones without APIs. We maintain the integration layer underneath. You focus on judgment, not plumbing.

The cost of not automating

Without SCIM (or an alternative like Stitchflow), your IT team manages Squarespace accounts manually. Here's what that costs:

The Squarespace pricing problem

Squarespace gates SCIM provisioning behind premium plans, forcing significant cost increases for basic user management.

What this means in practice

Most teams using Squarespace for basic website management are on the Plus plan ($39/month) or lower. To get SCIM provisioning, they must upgrade to Enterprise - a pricing tier jump that can mean paying 3-10x more annually just for user management.

Upgrade cost impact

From Plus ($39/mo) to Enterprise
Minimum $60/month increase = $720+ more per year
From Basic ($16/mo) to Enterprise
Minimum $83/month increase = $996+ more per year
Enterprise pricing is quote-based and typically much higher than the Advanced plan

Additional constraints

Okta dependency
SCIM provisioning only works through Okta's Enterprise integration - no support for Entra ID, Google Workspace, or other identity providers
Limited permission model
Only two role types available (Admin and Website Editor) regardless of your Enterprise spend
Protected sites only
SSO functionality is designed for password-protected internal sites, not general Squarespace admin access
Manual workarounds required
Without SCIM, IT teams must manually create, update, and deactivate user accounts across all sites

Summary of challenges

  • Squarespace does not provide native SCIM at any price tier
  • Organizations must rely on third-party tools or manual provisioning
  • Our research shows teams manually provisioning this app spend significant hidden costs annually

What Squarespace actually offers for identity

Enterprise Plan Requirements

Squarespace gates all identity features behind Enterprise pricing, which requires either the Advanced plan at $99/month or custom Enterprise pricing - a significant jump from the $39/month Plus plan.

FeatureAvailability
SAML 2.0 SSOEnterprise only
SCIM provisioningEnterprise only (Okta only)
Protected sites/pagesEnterprise only
JIT provisioning❌ Not supported

What Enterprise Identity Actually Includes

SAML SSO for protected content:

Works with Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace, and ClassLink
Protects internal sites and pages (not admin access)
Supports both SP-initiated and IdP-initiated flows
Requires manual setup with Enterprise support team

SCIM provisioning (Okta only):

Available through Okta's Enterprise integration
Supports create, update, and deactivate operations
Limited to two permission levels
Admin and Website Editor
No support for other IdPs
Entra ID, Google Workspace users are excluded

The Reality Check

For most teams wanting basic user provisioning, Squarespace's Enterprise requirements create a massive cost barrier. You're paying for website building features at enterprise scale when you likely just need to automate onboarding for a handful of marketing or content team members.

The Okta-only SCIM limitation is particularly problematic - if your organization uses Entra ID or Google Workspace, you're completely locked out of automated provisioning regardless of what you pay.

What IT admins are saying

Squarespace's Enterprise-only SSO requirement creates significant barriers for mid-market companies managing website access:

  • SSO and SCIM are locked behind Enterprise pricing with no published rates
  • User provisioning only works through Okta - other IdPs get SSO but no automation
  • Limited role options (only Admin and Website Editor) don't match most org structures
  • No just-in-time provisioning means manual user creation is still required

SSO is Enterprise-only feature

The recurring theme

Squarespace forces companies to choose between expensive Enterprise plans for basic identity management or manual user administration. Even Enterprise customers are limited to Okta for automated provisioning, leaving Azure AD and Google Workspace users with SSO but no user lifecycle automation.

The decision

Your SituationRecommendation
Small creative team (<10 users) on Basic/Core plansManual management is acceptable
Website agencies managing multiple client sitesUse Stitchflow: automation essential for scale
Enterprise with protected member areasUse Stitchflow: broader IdP support beyond Okta
Large marketing teams (25+ users)Use Stitchflow: automation essential
Organizations using Entra ID or Google WorkspaceUse Stitchflow: native SCIM only works with Okta

The bottom line

Squarespace confines SSO and SCIM to Enterprise plans and limits SCIM provisioning to Okta only. For organizations using other identity providers or needing automated user management without vendor lock-in, Stitchflow provides universal automation across any IdP and plan level.

B2B Revenue Intelligence / ABM

ProvisioningNot Supported
Manual Cost$11,754/yr

6sense, the B2B revenue intelligence platform, has paused SCIM provisioning for new customers until Q4 2026. While existing customers with SCIM enabled can continue using it, new implementations are limited to JIT (Just-In-Time) provisioning through SAML SSO. This creates a significant gap for IT teams managing revenue intelligence access, as JIT only creates users on first login and provides minimal attribute mapping (email, first name, last name only). For an enterprise platform with typical pricing of $55,000-$130,000 annually, the absence of automated user lifecycle management is a substantial limitation. The lack of SCIM until Q4 2026 forces IT teams into manual provisioning workflows for a platform handling sensitive revenue data. While SAML SSO handles authentication, it doesn't address user lifecycle events like role changes, department transfers, or offboarding. This creates compliance risks in revenue teams where access to prospect data and sales intelligence must be tightly controlled. The nearly two-year wait for SCIM restoration means organizations implementing 6sense today face manual user management for the foreseeable future.

No SCIM

Marketing Automation / Email

ProvisioningNot Supported
Manual Cost$11,754/yr

ActiveCampaign, the marketing automation platform, does not offer native SCIM provisioning on any plan. While the Enterprise plan ($145+/month) includes SAML 2.0 SSO with just-in-time (JIT) provisioning, this only creates user accounts on first login—there's no automated deprovisioning when employees leave or change roles. New SSO users are automatically added to a generic "SSO Users" group with configurable permissions, but IT teams have no way to programmatically manage user lifecycles or enforce granular access controls based on department or role changes. This creates a significant gap for marketing teams that need to manage access to customer data and campaign tools. When employees leave the company or change departments, their ActiveCampaign access must be manually revoked, creating compliance risks and potential data exposure. The lack of automated deprovisioning means former employees could theoretically retain access to sensitive marketing data and customer information until someone manually removes them from the platform.

No SCIM

Payments / Fintech

ProvisioningNot Supported
Manual Cost$11,754/yr

Adyen offers SCIM 2.0 provisioning, but only through Okta's integration—there's no native SCIM endpoint. This creates a significant vendor lock-in scenario where your provisioning capabilities are entirely dependent on using Okta as your identity provider. Teams using Azure Entra, Google Workspace, or OneLogin are left with manual user management despite Adyen supporting SAML SSO with these platforms. The Okta integration itself requires maintaining a company account (not just a merchant account) and keeping at least one non-SSO admin for troubleshooting, adding operational complexity. For payment platforms handling sensitive financial data, this provisioning gap creates serious compliance risks. Your finance team, payment operations staff, and developers need timely access to process transactions and manage risk controls, but without automated provisioning, you're stuck with manual onboarding that can delay critical payment operations. The requirement to maintain non-SSO admin accounts also creates a security backdoor that compliance auditors will flag.
