Code-based customizations provide a way to expand Squarespace's functionality using custom code when built-in features don't meet your needs. While these modifications aren't officially supported, they offer additional possibilities for your website.

Common ways to implement custom code:

  • Code blocks
  • Code injection
  • Embed blocks

Popular code-based customizations include:

  • Adsense for site monetization
  • Apple Touch icon for iOS bookmarks
  • BeerMenus for alcohol menu displays
  • Bloglovin' for blog verification
  • Etsy shop integration
  • Eventbrite registration
  • Facebook Pixel for advertising
  • Feedly RSS integration
  • Issuu for document embedding
  • MLS search for real estate
  • Swiftype for custom search
  • Zocdoc for appointment booking

Important considerations:

  • Functionality isn't guaranteed
  • Mobile responsiveness may vary
  • Support is limited for custom code
  • Third-party documentation should be consulted
  • Sometimes linking to external services is preferable

To get help with code-based modifications:

  1. Check the service's documentation
  2. Visit the Squarespace Forum
  3. Consult Squarespace Experts
  4. Contact the third-party service's support

For enterprise clients seeking dedicated support, integrated SSO, and customized plans, enterprise-level solutions are available through squarespace.com/enterprise.

Remember that if a service isn't listed here, you may still be able to integrate it using code blocks, embed blocks, or code injection, provided the service offers embeddable widgets or code snippets.
