Code-based customizations expand Squarespace's functionality through custom code when built-in features aren't available. While these modifications offer additional possibilities, they aren't covered by Squarespace support.

Implementation typically requires pasting third-party code into code blocks or code injection. Note that custom code may not always work perfectly with Squarespace's responsive design, particularly on mobile devices.

Most Popular Code-Based Customizations:

  • Adsense for displaying ads
  • Apple Touch Icon for iOS bookmarks
  • BeerMenu for alcohol menus
  • Bloglovin' for blog verification
  • Etsy for store embedding
  • Eventbrite for event registration
  • Facebook Pixel for conversion tracking
  • Feedly for RSS feed display
  • Issuu for PDF embedding
  • MLS search for real estate
  • Swiftype for alternative search
  • Zocdoc for medical appointments

Adding Other Third-Party Services: If a service offers embeddable widgets, HTML, or JavaScript code, you can likely integrate it using:

  • Code blocks
  • Embed blocks
  • Code injection

Getting Help: While Squarespace doesn't support custom code modifications, you can find assistance through:

  • Third-party service documentation
  • Squarespace Forum
  • Squarespace Experts
  • Enterprise Support (for business customers needing dedicated support and SSO)

Remember: Sometimes linking to a third-party service directly works better than implementing a code-based solution. For officially supported integrations, check Squarespace Integrations and Extensions.
