Spotify offers a great way to add music to your Squarespace website. You can use their playlist widget to display your music on your site, and you can also style the text to match your site’s look and feel. Here’s how to add a Spotify widget to Squarespace:

PRO TIP: When adding a Spotify widget to Squarespace, be aware that there are some potential risks. First and foremost, make sure that you have the latest version of the Spotify app installed on your device. If you don’t, you could run into compatibility issues. Additionally, be sure to follow the instructions carefully when adding the widget to your Squarespace page. If you don’t do it correctly, the widget may not work properly or may not display correctly on your page.
  1. Log in to your Spotify account and go to the Spotify Developer website. You’ll need to create a new application here.
  2. Click on ‘Create an App’, and fill out the required information. Make sure you set the redirect URI to ‘http://yoursquarespaceaddress.com’.
  3. Once you’ve created your application, click on ‘Edit Settings’ and add the redirect URI under ‘Application Website’.
  4. Now go back to your Squarespace account and open up the page or post where you want to add the Spotify widget. Click on the ‘+’ sign and search for ‘Spotify’.
  5. Click on ‘Add Block’ next to the Spotify widget. A new window will pop up asking you for your Spotify application’s Client ID and Client Secret.

    You can find these on the Spotify Developer website under ‘My Applications’.

  6. Once you’ve added your Client ID and Client Secret, click on ‘Connect Spotify Account’. You’ll be redirected to Spotify, where you’ll need to log in and authorize the application.
  7. Once you’ve authorized the application, you’ll be redirected back to Squarespace. Select the playlist you want to display on your site, and then click on ‘Apply’.
  8. You can now preview your site to see the playlist widget in action.

Conclusion:

Adding a Spotify widget to Squarespace is a great way to add music to your website. You can use the widget to display your music on your site, and you can also style the text to match your site’s look and feel. Follow the steps above to add a Spotify widget to Squarespace.
