Online booking can be added to your Squarespace site in several ways:

Acuity Scheduling

The most seamless option is Acuity Scheduling, which integrates directly with Squarespace. After setting up an Acuity account:

  • Add the scheduling block to your site
  • Display all available appointment types or filter specific ones
  • Clients can book appointments and classes directly through your website

Third-Party Booking Links

To connect other booking services:

  • Add a "Book Now" button using the Button block
  • Include a booking link in your navigation menu
  • Insert text links on any page or blog post

Custom Booking Widgets

For third-party booking services with embed options:

  1. Copy the embed code from your booking service
  2. Add a Code block to your Squarespace page
  3. Paste the embed code into the block

Note: Custom code embedding requires a Business or Commerce plan. While code-based solutions offer flexibility, they aren't officially supported by Squarespace support and may require technical expertise to implement and maintain.

Best Practices

  • Choose a booking solution that matches your business needs
  • Test the booking process from a customer's perspective
  • Ensure the booking feature is easily visible on your site
  • Regularly verify that all booking functions work correctly

For technical assistance with custom code, consider consulting the Squarespace Forum or hiring a Squarespace Expert.
