# Add the chat to Squarespace

Paste one line into Code Injection’s Footer field, save, and check it on your live site.

*2 min read · Updated 27 Oct 2026 · 5 sections*

To add an AI chatbot to Squarespace, paste Dazza’s one line of code into the **Footer** field of **Code Injection**, then save. Squarespace adds it just before `</body>` on every page. Code Injection is on the Core, Plus and Advanced plans, and some older plans.

## Before you start

- **Copy your line.** It’s in **Settings → Install** in Dazza, with your agent’s key already in it:

```
<script src="https://app.dazza.io/widget.js" data-agent="dz_…" async></script>
```

- **Publish your agent.** The chat button only appears once your agent has a published version.

## Paste it into Code Injection

1. In your Squarespace site, go to **Website → Pages**.
2. Scroll to the bottom, to **Utilities**, and click **Website Tools**.
3. Click **Code Injection**.
4. Paste your line into the **Footer** field. Use Footer, not Header, so the page loads first.
5. Click **Save**.

## Check it’s working

1. Open your live site in a new private window and refresh.
2. Look for the chat button in the bottom corner, and ask it a question.
3. In Dazza, **Settings → Install** shows **Installed** and the address the chat was last seen on.

The editor’s preview can have scripts turned off, so check on the live site rather than in the editor.

## Common problems

| What you see | What to do |
| --- | --- |
| No chat button anywhere | Publish your agent in **Agent**. Settings → Install says so if it isn’t live yet. |
| No Code Injection option | It needs a Core, Plus or Advanced plan, or an older plan that includes it. |
| No chat in the editor | The editor can disable scripts in preview. Check your live site in a private window. |
| No chat in checkout | Expected. Squarespace’s checkout doesn’t run custom code. |
| No chat on your squarespace.com address | If you’ve listed **Allowed websites** in Settings → Install, add that address as well as your own domain. Subdomains are included. |
| The code shows as text on a page | It went into a text block. Use Code Injection’s Footer field. |
| Nothing loads and the code looks odd | Some editors turn straight quotes into curly ones. Copy the line again from Settings → Install. |
