Can't connect domain to squarespace

Hello!

I am currently in the process of adding a domain to my website on squarespace, but there seems to be some sort of problem.

I am writing to you from the country Georgia (not the US state).  Our extension is .ge, which is currently not supported by squarespace, so the domain has to be connected, not transferred. 

After I select "connect domain" , it just freezes, I can't go any further (see attached). I have waited for 20 mins and it still shows "connect domain". I haven't even had a chance to type in any extra info about DNS or anything like that. 

I watched the video listed on squarespace help, but when I try to connect it, my webpage looks nothing like it shows in the video. (see attached vs video) 

Connecting a domain to your Squarespace site – Squarespace Help

I have made another website on squarespace 2 years ago and have successfully transferred the domain in the past: stradacafe.ge , so it's not that there is a problem with this domain provider or anything like this. Definitely seems to be a bug on squarespace page. 

P.S. Using version 7.0 instead of 7.1, because Georgian fonts are largely not supported by Google or Adobe, so I have to use custom fonts through custom CSS, which are not supported on 7.1.

Would really appreciate some guidance how I can connect the domain. 

Thanks in advance!

Looks like you have resolved this issue.
