  • Filter available appointment types
  • Show specific classes or all booking options
  • Integrates seamlessly with Squarespace sites
  1. External Booking Page Links
  • Add booking links through:
    • Button blocks (Create "Book Now" buttons)
    • Navigation menu items
    • Text links within pages or posts
  1. Third-Party Booking Widgets
  • Embed external booking calendars using code blocks
  • Requires Business or Commerce plan for JavaScript/iframe support
  • Implementation steps:
    1. Copy embed code from booking service
    2. Add code block to desired page
    3. Paste embed code into block

Note: Custom code implementations aren't covered by standard support. Consider:

  • Reviewing code customization documentation
