See the serviceFrequently asked questions about Squarespace + Mews
Can I connect Mews to my Squarespace website? +
Yes. The Mews Distributor widget is a JavaScript library that works on any website, including Squarespace. You add the Mews script through Squarespace's Code Injection feature, then build a custom date picker using a Code Block. The booking engine opens as a smooth overlay on your page, so guests complete the reservation without leaving your site.
Do I need the Mews API for this? +
No. The JavaScript widget handles dates, room selection, guest counts, and promo codes. The API requires a Mews Enterprise subscription and is used for fully custom booking engines. The widget works on all Mews plans.
Which Squarespace plan do I need? +
You need the Core plan ($23/month billed annually) or higher. The Core plan includes Code Injection, which lets the Mews script load on every page of your site. The Basic plan does not support site-wide code injection.
Can guests book a specific room directly from the room page? +
Yes, with a workaround. Squarespace's CMS doesn't support custom fields like Mews Room IDs the way Webflow does, but there are reliable alternatives: hardcoded Room IDs per page, a room selector dropdown, or per-page code injection. The guest experience is identical regardless of the method used.
How much does the integration cost? +
It depends on your property: the number of room types, and whether you need room-specific booking flows, promo codes or event booking. The Booking Engine Integration covers the audit, integration plan, Book Now button, date picker, room-specific checkout flows and training videos. Book a call or take the Mews setup audit and I'll give you an exact quote for your setup.
Will the booking widget match my website design? +
The date picker is custom-built to match your Squarespace theme: colors, fonts and spacing. The Mews overlay itself uses Mews branding, but since it opens full-screen on top of your page, it feels like a natural part of the booking flow.
How long does the integration take? +
A standard Squarespace + Mews integration typically takes 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the number of room types and whether you need room-specific booking flows, event booking, or promo code support.
Is Squarespace good enough for a hotel website, or should I switch platforms? +
For most independent hotels with straightforward booking needs, Squarespace works well: beautiful templates, easy editing, built-in blogging, and affordable pricing. If you need complex CMS-driven booking flows, extensive event management, or deep dynamic data integration, Webflow offers more flexibility. I build direct booking websites with full Mews integration. Not sure which path makes sense? Take the free Mews setup audit or book a call.
