Want to use Squarespace for event registration? A form makes it easy to capture customer data and qualify potential customers.

While there are many ways you can add an event registration form to Squarespace, this is the simplest way to do it. Let’s take a look.

Adding a Squarespace event registration form in two simple steps

Step 1: Go to the page you want to add your form to

You can add a form to any page of your Squarespace site, including your blog, homepage, or even your page footer.

Go to the page you want to add your event registration form to.

Click the blue plus sign to add a block to where you want your event registration form to go. Don’t worry if you change your mind, you can move your form after you create it by dragging it up or down the page.

When the block menu appears, choose Form.

Step 2: Customize your form

When you create your Squarespace event registration form, you need to style it and identify where the responses will get stored. Let’s run through the options.

Squarespace form settings
  • Content. Give your form a name, choose a call-to-action for your button, and edit the form fields. You can also set a message or page redirect for after a visitor submits their form

  • Design. Decide how your form will look, choose what type of button to display and whether your form will have a colored background or border

  • Storage. Determine which email address you’ll get an alert to when someone completes your form. You can also connect your Google Drive, Mailchimp, or Zapier account to store your responses

And that’s it! Sit back and wait for the event signups to come in!
