Squarespace Simplifies Sharing with New Built-In QR Code Generator

Hey CharlieOpolites!

Exciting news for all you Squarespace site owners out there! Squarespace has just launched a fantastic new feature that's going to make sharing your website pages easier than ever: a built-in QR code generator.

Gone are the days of relying on third-party QR code services. Now, right within your Squarespace page settings, you can generate a downloadable and shareable PNG image that directs visitors straight to your page's URL. How cool is that?

Why is this a big deal?

This new tool is particularly useful for sharing giving pages on donation sites. But it doesn't stop there. It simplifies sharing page links in all sorts of scenarios:

• In-person events: Print the QR code on flyers or posters.

• Mobile devices: Easily share the code digitally.

• Anywhere you need a quick link: The possibilities are endless.

Currently, you can generate QR codes for URLs on individual layout pages. Simply toggle the QR code option on in your page settings, and you'll get a downloadable PNG file ready to share.

What if my URL changes?

No worries! Squarespace has you covered. If the URL associated with your QR code changes, the generator will prompt you to create a new one.

You can also use URL mappings to redirect the old QR code to the new URL, ensuring your visitors always land on the right page.

Key Takeaways:

• Squarespace now has a built-in QR code generator.

• Generate downloadable PNG QR codes for individual layout pages.

• Easy sharing for in-person, mobile, and print materials.

• Simple updates with prompts to generate new codes or use URL mappings.

• Available on all 7.0 and 7.1 sites as of April 4, 2025.

This new feature is a game-changer for streamlining how you share your Squarespace pages. No more hunting for external tools, it's all right there in your Squarespace settings.

Happy sharing!
