Turn scans into sales, booking and followers with the new Squarespace QR code feature
Squarespace has recently released a super handy feature that is going to make life easier for anyone running a website, online store, creative brand or any type of business. You can now generate QR codes directly inside your Squarespace site — no extra tools, no third-party apps, just a few clicks and you are good to go!
As someone who builds websites for businesses, entrepreneurs, and creators, I love discovering features like this that help bridge the gap between offline and online marketing. Regardless of any type of business you own, this is a little game-changer you will want to check out.
Why QR codes are more relevant than ever
QR codes are not new, but they have made a huge comeback in recent years — and for good reason. They are fast, contactless, and perfect for instantly connecting people with your digital content.
Here is why I think every business and creator should be using them:
Instant Access: No typing in URLs or searching online. A quick scan gets people right where you want them.
Offline to Online: Great for posters, business cards, packaging, menus, event flyers, and product labels.
Contactless Convenience: Especially popular in hospitality, retail, fitness, and real estate.
Trackable Engagement: Pair them with a custom link or Squarespace Analytics to see where and how people are interacting with your content.
Whether you are promoting a new product, sending people to your event page, or giving customers an easy way to book a service, QR codes get it done.
How to create QR code step by step
No need for any third-party generator or complicated design tools. Squarespace made it incredibly simple:
Log in to your Squarespace account.
Navigate to the page, product, event, or blog post you want to link to.
Click the “...” (More Options) in the page settings or editor.
4. Switch on toggle button “QR Code.”
Disabled QR Code

As a web designer working with Squarespace daily, I appreciate features that remove friction — and this is one of them. It makes it easy for my clients to connect the offline world with their digital presence in a seamless, professional way.
It is one less tool you have to learn or pay for, and it keeps everything within your website’s ecosystem. For anyone starting a business, running a side hustle, or promoting personal projects, this is a small win with big potential.
Final Thoughts
While it might not be the flashiest Squarespace update, it is one of the most useful additions in a while. Creating QR codes directly within your site saves time, simplifies your workflow, and opens up new marketing opportunities.
If you are already using Squarespace, give it a try — it literally takes seconds. And if you are curious about how to make this feature work for your brand or next campaign, feel free to reach out. I would be happy to help you brainstorm ideas or integrate it into your website strategy.
