I’ve seen several people online (specifically photographers) asking about the best way to do event sign-ups on their Squarespace website. Squarespace does have an Event Block, but it doesn’t currently have an option for sign-ups. Lucky for you, I know an easy workaround for that.
Event registrations in Squarespace:
First, you’re going to create a Product. Name this whatever you want your audience to see it as – “Holiday Mini Sessions” for example. You’ll want to select Service as the product type when setting it up.
From there, you’ll be able to add details and specifics of the event. Upload a thumbnail, give the details of the time and place in the description, etc.
But, we really want to focus on the Variants. This is what will give your clients the different options for your event. You could make day of the week and time two separate variants, but choosing “2:00” and “Sunday” would take away “2:00” and “Monday” as an option.
Here’s a look at what the sign-up will look like to your audience.
They will pay for their time slot, and get a confirmation email. You, too, can view a spreadsheet of all your event sign-ups with all of their contact information.

Hi Jess,
Thanks for this. How do you view a spreadsheet of people who signed up? I would like to have a roster for the classes I am having folks register for, but I can’t figure out how to get to that or create that. I have my site set up to register folks, take their payment, but how do I know who is actually coming to the class – besides combing through their payments? But they could be signing someone else up….
I heard someone say that you can send that out to google docs?
I have the same question – my client wants a sheet they can look at to see who’s coming to their classes – is there a way to do that? Or can you add an email notification to the person running the class to the reservation?
In the Commerce section, you can see everyone who signed up. I don’t think there’s a way you can show this list to others, without just manually copying and pasting the list somewhere.
Thank you so much for this information. It was very helpful and I was very frustrated until I found your info. Bless you!
