Introducing Your One-Stop Shop for All Things Circle
Circle membership is required to access the dashboard.
There’s a lot going on in the world of Circle. Between client projects, points, commissions, new releases, product betas, resources, and events, it can be overwhelming to stay on top of everything. That’s why the Squarespace team created a dedicated space that empowers you to keep track of everything happening in the Circle community.
The Circle dashboard is a centralized, members-only hub that you can access alongside projects and domains in your Squarespace account. In this space, you’ll find everything you need to manage your Circle membership directly in the product.
To give you an exclusive look, we spoke with some of the minds behind this exciting new feature: Emily Tenenbaum, Pro User Product Engagement Lead, and Alicia Doak, Senior Product Designer.
Feature overview: Circle dashboard
Built for the Circle community, the Circle dashboard is a one-stop shop for all things Circle and Squarespace. The dashboard is designed to centralize your Circle activities, streamline your workflow, and provide a user experience specific to your needs as a pro.
“Circle members are Squarespace partners. They use our tools more than anyone else, and we are so excited to build them a space in the product, where they already are every day, as a hub for information,” Alicia says about developing the Circle dashboard. “It was great collaborating with Circle Community Leaders on the design and UX. They had such clever ideas and thoughtful feedback on how to make this space work best for them.”
The Circle dashboard displays your Circle status and points.
“We wanted to make sure that Circle members can see their status and points at all times, especially after creating a new subscription.”
Here are some of the key features of the Circle dashboard:

View your current Circle membership status and when your status will change.

Integrate your workflow with Circle
The Circle dashboard is designed to integrate into your daily Squarespace workflow. “We think about the Circle dashboard as a new room in your home that’s just for you, Circle members. Start at the top by reviewing your status and points—don’t forget to double-check that you’re signed up for referral payments! Click each tile to get more information and learn how to unlock more perks. Then, scroll to see the latest updates from Squarespace, which includes feature launches, betas that are open for feedback, upcoming events, and more,” Emily says.
Product announcements, open betas, and new features are announced in the Circle dashboard.
“Your benefits are always at the bottom of the page for reference. Finally, we’ve added a support button for convenience, which will automatically route you to priority queues,” she adds.
The Circle dashboard is an ever-evolving space. Improvements are already in the works, as Emily shares: “We’re already working on post-launch improvements. As part of our first iteration, you’ll now be able to see your point history from subscriptions you started or were added to as the first administrator. In the next iteration, we’ll add more information to the referral payments tile, including the earnings you receive from Impact.”
Verify that you are registered for Circle referral payments in the Circle dashboard.
