This guide is for Squarespace websites. For typical websites, please read Push for Website Quick start

Before we start: create your project

If you haven't already, sign up for a free account on wonderpush.com.

Click on New Project:

Choose a name for your project and select Website as a platform then click Create:

📘

Already have a project?

Just add the Website platform to any existing project by going to Settings, selecting the first tab named after your project and clicking Edit. You'll be presented a form that lets you add a platform.

Step 1. Fill-in website information

Choose Squarespace as your setup type:

Then fill in your website information:

Site name
Enter the name of your website. This name might be displayed when users subscribe to push notifications.

Site URL
Enter the base URL of your site (e.g. https://example.com). This will be the default URL users will be redirected to when they click on a notification.
If your site is accessible from both www. and non-www. URLs (e.g. example.com and www.example.com) we recommend you redirect traffic to one of the URLs and use that to fill-in the URL field.

HTTPS notification domain
Your push notification domain will be displayed in every notification you send:

In this example, the notification domain is mywebsite.by.wonderpush.com.
When users subscribe to push notifications, they grant your domain the permission to send them push notifications. When you change the push notification domain, users have to subscribe again!

For these reasons, it is especially important to choose the right push notification domain from the start.

Enter Icon
Enter the URL to your website icon or choose a file from your computer. Your website icon will be displayed in notifications. It should be a square image file. Prefer HTTPS.

Step 2. Configure subscription prompts

In this section, you can configure subscription prompts for your website. Subscription prompts are ready-made user-interfaces you can use to let users subscribe to push notifications.

To activate a subscription prompt, simply click the switch in front of its name so that it shows as ON. To customize it, click on Customize.

You can find out more about subscription prompts in our dedicated guide.

Hit Save.

Step 3. Copy code

In this step we'll add the WonderPush SDK to your Squarespace site.

Copy the Javascript code to your clipboard:

and paste your WonderPush snippet code into the Header section

Then click Save.
