How Do I Link My Squarespace to Instagram?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 9:02 am

As a business owner, you know that social media is a powerful tool to reach new customers and grow your brand. And as someone who’s using Squarespace to build your website, you want to make sure you’re taking advantage of every opportunity to connect with your audience.

Linking your Squarespace site to Instagram is a great way to do that. By connecting the two platforms, you can share your Instagram photos and videos on your website, and make it easy for people to find and follow you on Instagram.

Here’s how to link your Squarespace site to Instagram:

1. Log in to your Squarespace account and go to the Home Menu. 2. Click on the settings icon (it looks like a gear). 3. In the left-hand sidebar, click on Connected Accounts. 4. Scroll down to the Social Accounts section and click on the Connect button next to Instagram. 5. Enter your Instagram username and password, and click Log In. 6. Choose which Instagram account you want to connect (if you have more than one), and click Authorize.

7. Now that your accounts are linked, you can choose how you want your Instagram content to appear on your website. Go back to the Home Menu and click on Pages. 8. Click on the + sign next to Standard Page, and select Gallery from the list of options. 9. Under Layout, select Grid from the list of options. 10. Under Gallery Type, select Social from the list of options. 11. Under Social Account, select Instagram from the list of options.

That’s it! You’ve now successfully linked your Squarespace site to Instagram. Now whenever you post a new photo or video on Instagram, it will automatically appear in the gallery on your website.

Here are a few things to keep in mind when linking your Squarespace site to Instagram:

  • Your website will only show photos and videos from your most recent posts.
  • You can’t control the order in which photos and videos appear in the gallery.
  • People who visit your website can’t like or comment on your photos or videos from the gallery.

If you want people to be able to like or comment on your photos or videos, you’ll need to post them directly on Squarespace instead of linking to Instagram.

Conclusion:

Linking your Squarespace site to Instagram is a great way showcase your content and grow your brand.

PRO TIP: If you are considering linking your Squarespace account to your Instagram account, be aware that there are some risks involved. First and foremost, linking your accounts will give Squarespace access to your Instagram account, which means that they will be able to post on your behalf. This could lead to spammy or unwanted posts appearing on your feed. Additionally, if you ever decide to cancel your Squarespace account, all of your content from Instagram will be deleted as well. So, if you do decide to link your Squarespace and Instagram accounts, be sure that you are comfortable with giving them access to your Instagram account and be aware that you may lose all of your content if you cancel your Squarespace account in the future.

. Just follow the steps above and you’ll be up and running in no time!
