Description
Expected behavior
The area to purchase the domain not to be accessible on staging sites since purchasing the domain is not possible.
Actual behavior
When I try to add a custom domain on a staging site, I am able to select it first but after proceeding, I am redirected to the hosting overview for a staging site with no further way to purchase the domain.

Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Create a site with a Creator plan on WordPress.com
- Activate
Hosting FeaturesfromSettings -> Hosting Configuration - Create a staging site from Staging site tab: https://wordpress.com/staging-site/{yourAtomicSite}
- Navigate to the staging site on your mobile device in the Jetpack app
- Scroll to the area from which you can purchase a custom domain
- Add the domain name in the field
- Proceed with the purchase
- Observe that you are brought to the overview of the staging sites with no further option to purchase a custom domain

Research direction
Start by reproducing the flow in the Jetpack iOS app: Hosting Configuration, then the staging site tab and the custom-domain purchase area on a staging site. No source file or test is named; done means the domain-purchase area is unavailable on staging sites and the flow no longer redirects to an unusable hosting overview.
