Squarespace install guide

Add Velo
to Squarespace.

Install the Velo cookie banner and Google Consent Mode v2 on Squarespace with one line in the Header injection field. Most installs take a few minutes when you already have admin access to the site. If you run Google Tag Manager, that route is on this page too.

    Publish and check the live site

    Save and publish the change using the platform steps above, then clear any site or CDN cache. Open the published URL in a fresh browser session. Check the banner where your region rules require it, test accepting and rejecting, and verify consent defaults and updates before your measurement tags run. Confirm the site appears as installed in your Velo dashboard.

One thing to watch

Switch Squarespace's own banner off under Cookies & Visitor Data so Velo is the only layer your visitors see. The Header injection applies site wide, so there is nothing to add per page, and 7.0 and 7.1 sites both work the same way.

Recommended if you run a container

Or add the tag
in Tag Manager.

Already have a Google Tag Manager web container on this site? Add Velo from the Community Template Gallery and configure it there. If you need to install the container first, use your platform’s supported integration and check it on the published URL.

Squarespace questions,
answered.

What teams installing on Squarespace ask first.

Which Squarespace plan do I need?

Site-wide code injection is available on Core, Plus and Advanced, and eligible legacy Business or Commerce plans. Check that the Code Injection panel is available on your site.

Squarespace has its own cookie banner setting.

Switch it off under Cookies & Visitor Data so Velo is the only banner your visitors see. Two banners confuse people, and two consent layers send Google conflicting signals.

Do I need to add it per page?

No. The Header injection applies site wide: every page, blog post and product page inherits it. Per page injection exists on Squarespace but is not needed for Velo.

Will it slow the site down?

The dashboard snippet loads asynchronously. As with any script, measure its effect on your site and check your tag order; asynchronous loading alone does not guarantee consent defaults run before other tags.

Can an AI assistant do this for me?

Yes. Copy the prompt in Install with agents, just below, into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or whichever assistant you already use. It carries the steps on this page, the order the tags have to load in, and the checks the agent has to run before it tells you the job is done.

Or hand it
to an agent.

Copy the prompt into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or whichever assistant you already use. It carries everything on this page: both routes, the order the tags have to load in, and the checks that prove it worked.

The prompt

Paste this prompt into your assistant, then provide your site ID and the complete installation snippet or GTM settings from your Velo dashboard.

Install prompt · Squarespace
Install Velo on Squarespace. Current guide: https://veloconsent.com/squarespace Before editing, get my site ID and complete installation snippet or GTM settings from the Velo dashboard. Confirm which consent tool and measurement tags already run on the site. Choose one installation route: A. If the site already uses Google Tag Manager, add the Velo CMP template (published by ampliodata) from the Community Template Gallery. Set my site ID, theme and API endpoint from the dashboard. Review the advanced options; both default to off. Use Consent Initialization – All Pages, then Preview and verify consent before publishing. Full steps: https://veloconsent.com/google-tag-manager B. For direct installation: Paste your complete Velo snippet into the site-wide Header field and save. Code injection is available on Core, Plus and Advanced, and eligible legacy plans. Check the published site after saving. Preserve unrelated code. Avoid duplicate Velo installs or competing consent defaults. Do not assume a head placement or async loading alone guarantees tag order. Check the published site in a fresh session. Verify the banner under the configured region rules, initial consent defaults, accept/reject updates and the velo_consent_update event. Check that non-Google tags follow their assigned categories. Test a second page and any separate checkout surface. Confirm signals reach the Velo dashboard. Report what changed, where it changed and the result of each check. Describe any missing access or checks you could not complete.
