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

  1. Acuity Scheduling Integration
  • Native Squarespace solution for appointment and class bookings
  • Display scheduling page using the scheduling block
  • Filter available appointment types and classes
  • Seamless integration with your site design
  1. External Booking Page Links
  • Create a "Book Now" button using the Button block
  • Add booking links to your navigation menu
  • Insert text links in pages, posts, or content areas
  1. Third-Party Booking Widgets
  • Embed external booking calendars using Code blocks
  • Requires Business or Commerce plan for JavaScript/iframe support
  • Copy and paste embed code from your booking service provider

Important Considerations:

  • Scheduling blocks only display public and available appointments
  • Third-party widgets may require custom code implementation
  • External booking solutions might affect responsive design
  • Future platform updates could impact custom code functionality

For Acuity-specific setup:

  1. Create an Acuity account
  2. Configure appointment types and availability
  3. Add the scheduling block to your desired page
  4. Customize display options and filtering

Note: While custom code solutions offer flexibility, they aren't covered by standard Squarespace support. Consider consulting with a Squarespace Expert for complex implementations.
