Online bookings can be added to your Squarespace site in three main ways: through Acuity Scheduling, external booking pages, or custom widgets.

Acuity Scheduling Integration

  • Built-in solution for managing appointments and classes
  • Display booking page using appointments booking block
  • Can show all appointments or filter by specific types
  • Seamlessly integrates with your Squarespace site

External Booking Pages You can link to external booking services through:

  • Button blocks for "Book Now" or appointment buttons
  • Navigation menu links
  • Text links within pages or blog posts

Custom Booking Widgets For third-party booking services:

  1. Copy the service's embed code
  2. Add a Code Block to your page
  3. Paste the embed code
  4. Save changes

Note: Code embedding requires a Business or Commerce plan for JavaScript/iframe functionality.

Implementation Tips:

  • Choose the method that best fits your business needs
  • Ensure booking system integrates well with your site design
  • Test booking flow thoroughly before going live
  • Keep booking process simple and user-friendly

Remember: Third-party integrations may have limited compatibility with Squarespace's responsive design and future updates. Consider consulting a Squarespace Expert for custom solutions if needed.

Keep your booking solution current by regularly checking for updates and testing functionality across different devices and browsers.
