Online scheduling can be integrated into your Squarespace website through three main methods:

1. Acuity Scheduling Integration

  • Built-in solution for appointments and course bookings
  • Display appointment options using the appointment block
  • Allows clients to book directly through your website
  • Requires Acuity account setup

2. External Booking Services

  • Link to third-party booking pages using:
    • Button blocks for "Book Now" calls-to-action
    • Navigation menu links
    • Text links within content areas

3. Custom Booking Widgets

  • Embed third-party calendar or booking widgets using code blocks
  • Requires Business or E-Commerce plan for JavaScript/iFrame support
  • Implementation steps:
    1. Copy embedding code from your booking service
    2. Add code block to desired page
    3. Paste embedding code into block

Important Notes:

  • Custom code implementations are not supported by customer service
  • Third-party widgets may have compatibility limitations
  • Future platform updates could affect custom code functionality

For optimal results, choose the integration method that best matches your business needs and technical capabilities. Acuity Scheduling offers the most seamless integration, while custom solutions provide more flexibility for specific requirements.
