Hey everyone! I’ve just launched my website on Squarespace. I’m really excited to use popups to grow my subscriber list, and I want to make sure I set everything up correctly. Could someone walk me through how to create a popup with Squarespace using Popupsmart? Are there specific steps or settings I should pay attention to when embedding the popup on Squarespace?
Hello Amari! Great to chat with you once again! I’d love to help you run a popup on your Squarespace site. Popupsmart is designed to be very easy to use, even if you’re not a designer or coder, so you’ll be up and running in no time.
I’ve explained what to do step by step below, you can follow them or watch the video I’ve quickly added. If you still have questions, you know you can ask
1. Sign Up & Grab Your Code
- Register or Log In
First, head over to Popupsmart and sign up (or log in if you already have an account). Once you’re in, you’ll find everything you need right on your dashboard.
- Copy the Embed Code
You’ll see an “Embed Code” button on your Popupsmart dashboard. Click it, and a window will appear with a unique code snippet. Simply copy that code—you’ll paste it into your Squarespace site in a moment.
If you prefer using Google Tag Manager, you can add the Popupsmart code that way too.
2. Add the Code to Your Squarespace Site
1. Go to Settings
Log into your Squarespace admin panel. From your dashboard, go to “Settings” on the left menu.
2. Advanced Settings
Under Settings, click on “Advanced”
Then head to the “Code Injection” section.
3. Paste in the Footer
Scroll down until you see the “Footer” box. Paste the Popupsmart embed code you copied here. Then hit “Save.”
That’s it! Your Squarespace site is now connected to Popupsmart, and you’re ready to publish popups.
3. Create & Publish Your Popup Campaign
1. Add Your Website on Popupsmart
Back in Popupsmart, go to the “Websites” section in your profile. Click “New website,” enter your Squarespace site URL, and save.
2. Verify Your Website
If your site appears as “Unverified,” just click “Unverified,” then select “Verify website.” Afterward, refresh your dashboard, and you should see everything is good to go.
3. Create Your Campaign
Now for the fun part—click “New Campaign” on your Popupsmart dashboard. Choose a popup template that catches your eye and start customizing. You can tweak the text, visuals, and overall style to match your brand perfectly.
4. Target & Segment
In the “Segment” section, you can decide exactly who will see your popup and when. This can be based on time spent on page, scroll depth, exit intent, and more. It’s super powerful for driving conversions.
5. Publish
Once you’re happy with the design, click “Publish” in the left-hand panel. That’s it! Your popup is live on your Squarespace site!
thank you, I have a Tag Manager account. If it’s faster, I might prefer using that route. Can you explain how to set it up with Google Tag Manager?
