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.
Tier comparison
| Plan | Price | SSO | SCIM |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $16/month | ||
| Core | $23/month | ||
| Plus | $39/month | ||
| Advanced | $99/month | ||
| Enterprise | Custom pricing |
Pricing structure
| Plan | Price | SSO | SCIM |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $16/month | ||
| Core | $23/month | ||
| Plus | $39/month | ||
| Advanced | $99/month | ||
| Enterprise | Custom pricing |
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.

Additional constraints
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.
| Feature | Availability |
|---|---|
| SAML 2.0 SSO | Enterprise only |
| SCIM provisioning | Enterprise only (Okta only) |
| Protected sites/pages | Enterprise only |
| JIT provisioning | ❌ Not supported |

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

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 Situation | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Small creative team (<10 users) on Basic/Core plans | Manual management is acceptable |
| Website agencies managing multiple client sites | Use Stitchflow: automation essential for scale |
| Enterprise with protected member areas | Use Stitchflow: broader IdP support beyond Okta |
| Large marketing teams (25+ users) | Use Stitchflow: automation essential |
| Organizations using Entra ID or Google Workspace | Use 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.
