Squarespace 5 is our legacy platform from 2012. Although we still support Squarespace 5, fixing bugs or issues is a lower priority for us while we focus on our current platform, Squarespace 7.
This guide is a list of known account and billing issues that you may come across in Squarespace 5. Our engineers aren't currently working on these issues. Wherever possible, we've included troubleshooting steps or alternate suggestions.
Unable to access Account Center
The Account Center is where you’ll find your current credit card information and a list of your billing invoices. You can access this area in your Website Management bar by clicking Account Center under Billing & Support.
If you see a Whoops error when you click Account Center, there may be an issue with your account status. Contact us so we can investigate and resolve the issue.

Invoice shows the wrong credit card
All Squarespace 5 invoices show the last four digits of the card that's currently on file. This retroactively affects previous invoices, so if you're looking at an older invoice, where you paid with a different card, it will still show the current card on file.
Unfortunately, this happens automatically and there isn't a way to adjust the old invoices in these cases.

Can't log into account: Whoops error appears
