Add IMSupporting to Your Squarespace Website

Squarespace usually uses site-wide code injection for third-party widgets. Add the IMSupporting snippet once, save the settings, then test the launcher on your live pages.

If you are installing IMSupporting on a Squarespace website, the normal path is to use the platform's site-wide Code Injection area or equivalent custom code setting for your site version and plan.

Fast Answer

Where in Squarespace Website settings, then Code Injection or the site-wide custom code area
Apply to The whole website
Place code in Footer or end-of-body area
Final step Save, publish if needed, then test on the live site
Site-wide script install No block-by-block editing Test on the public site

1. Get Your IMSupporting Setup Ready

Start from your IMSupporting account and use the correct site identifier for the widget. The safest source is your account-specific integration setup and the main installation guide.

  • Create or log in to your IMSupporting account.
  • Copy the correct widget details for your site.
  • Keep your Squarespace settings area and IMSupporting dashboard open while you configure the site.

2. Open Site-Wide Code Injection

  1. Open your Squarespace website dashboard.
  2. Go to the site settings area.
  3. Find Code Injection or the site-wide custom code area available for your Squarespace version.
  4. Use the footer or end-of-body location rather than a page-specific content block.
Squarespace menus can vary slightly by version and plan. The important part is using a global code area so the chat widget loads across the site instead of on a single page.

3. Add the Chat Widget Site-Wide

Paste the IMSupporting script into the global code area so the launcher can appear across your public website.

  • Prefer the footer or end-of-body placement.
  • Avoid putting the snippet inside a text block, page block, or blog post content area.
  • Save your changes after pasting the code.

4. Save and Test

  1. Save the Squarespace settings.
  2. Republish the site if your workflow requires publishing.
  3. Open the public website in a new tab or private window.
  4. Wait for the chat launcher to appear and send a short test message.
  5. Confirm the message reaches your IMSupporting dashboard.

Troubleshooting and FAQ

The Squarespace chat widget is not showing

Make sure the script was added to a site-wide code area, not a single page block, and confirm the website changes were saved or published.

Should I inject the code into the header or footer?

Use the footer or end-of-body area when available. That keeps the widget separate from the main page rendering and is usually the cleanest placement for chat.

The code is saved but I still do not see the launcher

Check the live public site in a private browser window, clear cached assets, and temporarily disable browser extensions that block scripts while testing.
