As one of the most popular social media platforms, Instagram has a lot to offer businesses in terms of marketing and exposure. So, it’s no surprise that many businesses are looking for ways to integrate their Instagram feed into their Squarespace website.
The good news is that there are a few different ways to do this! In this article, we’ll show you how to add an Instagram feed to Squarespace in three different ways.
Option 1: Use a Third-Party Plugin
One way to add an Instagram feed to Squarespace is by using a third-party plugin. There are a few different plugins available, but we recommend using Smash Balloon. Smash Balloon is a reliable and easy-to-use plugin that will help you display your Instagram feed on your Squarespace website in just a few clicks.
To get started, head over to the Smash Balloon website and purchase the plugin. Once you have the plugin installed and activated on your WordPress site, you’ll need to connect it to your Instagram account. To do this, you’ll need to generate an Access Token from Instagram.
Don’t worry, this process is easy and only takes a few minutes.
First, make sure that your Instagram account is set to public. If it is set to private, only people who are logged into Instagram will be able to see your photos.
Second, keep in mind that your Instagram feed will be displayed on your website exactly as it appears on Instagram. This means that if you have any inappropriate or offensive images on your Instagram account, they will also be displayed on your website.
Finally, remember that you can only add an Instagram feed to a Squarespace website if you have a Business plan. If you have a Personal or Basic plan, you will not be able to add an Instagram feed to your site.
Option 2: Use Squarespace’s Built-In Functionality
If you’re not keen on using a third-party plugin, then you’ll be pleased to know that Squarespace offers built-in functionality for adding an Instagram feed to your website. However, this method is only available on the Business and Commerce plans.
To get started, head over to the Squarespace support site. Once you’re logged in, click on the “Add an Instagram Feed” button. From here, you’ll be able to connect your Squarespace account with your Instagram account and start displaying your photos on your website.
Option 3: Use an Instagram Widget
If you don’t want to use a plugin or if you’re on a limited budget, then you can use an Instagram widget. Widgets are pieces of code that can be embedded into websites. There are a few different Instagram widgets available, but we recommend using SnapWidget. SnapWidget is a free widget that allows you to display your photos on your website in just a few clicks.
Conclusion:
All three options are great ways to add an Instagram feed to Squarespace! If you’re looking for an easy way to do it, we recommend using Option 1 or 2. If you’re on a budget, however, Option 3 is a great way to go!
