Custom code lets you extend Squarespace's functionality beyond built-in features. While these modifications aren't officially supported, they can add valuable capabilities to your website through third-party services.

Popular code-based customizations include:

  • AdSense for displaying ads
  • Apple touch icons for iOS bookmarking
  • BeerMenus for alcohol menus
  • Bloglovin' for blog verification
  • Etsy shop embedding
  • Eventbrite for event registration
  • Facebook Pixel for conversion tracking
  • Feedly RSS integration
  • Issuu for document embedding
  • MLS search for real estate
  • Swiftype as an alternative search solution
  • Zocdoc for medical appointment booking

Adding custom code typically involves:

  1. Getting the code from a third-party service
  2. Inserting it using code blocks or "Insert Code" features
  3. Testing compatibility with responsive design

Important considerations:

  • Custom code falls outside Squarespace's official support
  • Mobile responsiveness may vary
  • Third-party service documentation should be consulted for troubleshooting
  • Some features might work better as external links rather than embedded code

For businesses needing dedicated support, integrated SSO, and custom solutions, Squarespace offers Enterprise subscriptions at squarespace.com/enterprise.

Remember: If a service isn't listed here but provides embeddable widgets or HTML/JavaScript code, you can likely integrate it using code blocks, embed blocks, or code insertion methods.
