A scheduling block lets visitors book appointments directly on your website through Acuity's scheduling interface. This feature requires an Acuity account, which you can get either through Squarespace or as a standalone service.

Adding a Scheduling Block with Squarespace-linked Acuity:

1. Edit your page
2. Click Add Block or an insertion point
3. Select "Scheduling"
4. Click the pencil icon to open block editor
5. Choose your preferred scheduling display option
6. Click Apply (for version 7.0)

Using Standalone Acuity:

1. Copy your Acuity scheduling page URL
2. Add a Scheduling Block to your page
3. Select "Custom Link" from the dropdown
4. Paste your Acuity URL
5. Click Apply

Customizing Your Scheduling Block:

• Edit appearance through Acuity's "Customize Appearance" menu
• Modify scheduling page options
• Hide "Powered by Acuity" branding if desired
• Preview changes in real-time

Security Options:

• Add page password protection to limit access
• Restrict to site members using Member Sites feature
• Control visibility through content restrictions

Important Notes:

• No Squarespace transaction fees apply
• Free Acuity plans don't support embedded calendars (standalone only)
• All Squarespace-integrated Acuity plans support scheduling blocks
• Design can be customized to match your site's aesthetics
• Changes can be made anytime through the block editor

For enhanced security, consider using page passwords or member-only access to control who can book appointments through your scheduling block.
