SquareSpace using other domain / keeping present

Question

I am seeking to use a domain already purchased elsewhere within a square space website.

Currently I have the domain mapped; for instance you type in the actual .com / www.coolguy.com

You are then redirected to coolguy.squarespace.com

That's fine, but then the squarespace is still present in the URL while the user is browsing. My question is; is there a way to completely use my .com domain that was purchased elsewhere with a 'paid' squarespace website?

I understand you can 'buy' a .com with them and that will work of course; but what about if it's purchased elsewhere?
