Online booking functionality can be added to your Squarespace site in three main ways:

1. Acuity Scheduling Integration

  • Seamlessly integrate appointment and class bookings
  • Use the appointment booking block to display available slots
  • Can filter to show specific appointment types or all available options

2. External Booking Page Links

  • Add booking links through:
    • Button blocks for "Reserve Now" or "Schedule Appointment"
    • Navigation menu items
    • Text links within any content area

3. Custom Booking Widgets

  • Embed third-party booking calendars using Code Blocks
  • Requires Business or Commerce plan for JavaScript/iframe functionality
  • Implementation steps:
    1. Copy embed code from your booking service
    2. Add Code Block to your page
    3. Paste the embed code

Important Notes:

  • Third-party solutions may have limited compatibility
  • Custom code implementations aren't covered by standard support
  • Consider responsive design and template compatibility
  • Future platform updates may affect custom implementations

For professional assistance:

  • Consult Squarespace's code customization guide
  • Visit the Squarespace Forum
  • Consider hiring a Squarespace Expert for custom solutions

This setup allows you to offer convenient online booking options while maintaining your site's professional appearance and functionality.
