Update 2: Marking this deal to expire as myself and others in personal circle as well as work colleagues were migrated between 15 - 25 May 2024 but if you're reading this you'll still be able to do any renewals using the pricing error outlined below into your migrated to the Squarespace platform.
Update: As of late February 2024 the migration has indeed started however it seems to be slow in progress and it appears you'll be able to take advantage of the pricing error into your migrated to Squarespace's platform.
Follows on from this original deal while you can't register new domain names at Google Domains and take advantage of this offer any more you can renew domain name still and take advantage of the pricing errors in Turkish lira into the migration to Squarespace is complete and they stop accepting renewals in Turkish lira add Squarespace.
I've put together a spreadsheet with some of the extensions I was tracking back in July it's available here
The standard three I'll post below.

gTLD's are governed by ICANN policies, So the domain name on renewal will need to stay with Google Domains/Squarespace for 60 days after the last renewal has been applied, but can be transferred out immediately afterwards to another registrar for their transfer fee which will add another additional your registration gTLD's can have up to a maximum of 10 years of registration.
So if your plan is to get out of Google Domain/Squarespace once you've taken advantage of this after the 60 days you may want to not go above 9 or 7 years when applying your renewals. You may be able to combine this with the Wordpress.com transfer offer in 60 days if it's still available.
Steps broken down below. No VPM required.
Google Payment Profile for Turkish lira.
Add a Google payment profile for Turkey if you don't have one yet. If needed, use a fake address generator to obtain a random Turkey address for the payment profile. You can create a new payment profile by following these steps: go to https://pay.google.com/gp/w/u/0/home/settings and clicking the pen icon next to "Country/Region" and a link to create a new profile should pop up. You can then add details for the Turkish profile.
You should have no issues using an Australian payment card for this purpose. I've used both Up and Macquarie successfully.
Changing currency at Google Domains
From the side bar in the Google domains dashboard change your currency from A$ to TRY you may need to pop this menu out by using the hamburger menu three lines at the top. You'll see the Australian flag. Click there to apply the change to Turkish lira.
Renewing Domains at Google
Individually: Click on the domain name you want to renew in the list of my domains which will take you to domain overview for the domain you've chosen on the left sidebar choose Registration settings scroll down to Auto-renew is on and click the blue section labelled add years complete the checkout process to apply multiple years of registration or just simply one.
Bulk: In my domains, use the checkboxes down the left-hand side next to each domain to select any domains you want to renew once you've completed selecting them at the top of the page choose Renew domain and from the drop-down choose add years complete the checkout process to apply multiple years of registration or just simply one.
The bulk renew tool is quite basic, so it will not allow you to exceed a 10 year maximum on any domain name, even if the others are in the list eligible for more years than shown.
thanks! good post
