Install, Conflicts & Troubleshooting

How do I install a Squarewebsites plugin on my site?

Direct answer

After purchasing a Squarewebsites plugin you receive an email with a .txt code file and a link to an installation guide. You install by pasting the snippet into Code Injection on a Business plan or above, or into a Code Block or Markdown block on a Personal plan, then configuring the options to your content. No coding is required for standard setups.

What you receive after purchase

When you buy a plugin you get an email containing a .txt code file plus a URL and password to an installation guide (Squarewebsites). The guide walks you through where to paste the code and how to configure the plugin for your content (Squarewebsites).

Where the code goes

Installation depends on your Squarespace plan. On Business plans and above, Squarespace enables Code Injection for sitewide placement in the Header and Footer, which is the standard route (Squarewebsites). On a Personal plan you can often use a Code Block or Markdown block instead (Squarewebsites).

Specific plugins have slightly different targets:

Configuring after install

No coding is required for standard setups — you paste the provided snippet and configure the options (Squarewebsites). Every plugin also includes free basic-setup support to get the standard configuration working (Squarewebsites).

The Chrome extension is the exception: there is no code to paste. You add it to your Chrome browser, open it, and log in with the email you purchased with (Squarewebsites).
