How to add Opening Hours to a Squarespace store

Embed Opening Hours on Squarespace

01

Create a Opening Hours plugin for Squarespace on Common Ninja

First, create a Squarespace Opening Hours plugin on Common Ninja. On the plugins catalog, find the Opening Hours and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Opening Hours plugin

When you're done creating the Opening Hours plugin, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the Opening Hours Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Opening Hours plugin to your Squarespace store, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the plugin embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your Squarespace store.

04

Paste the code to your Squarespace website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your Squarespace store editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the Squarespace’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Opening Hours Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Opening Hours plugin on your Squarespace store.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s Opening Hours plugin on your Squarespace plugin. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your Squarespace store’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Opening Hours plugin to your Squarespace store. You can do this by putting it straight into your Squarespace store's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Opening Hours widget when clear availability is critical for your business. Visitors often come with simple questions like whether you are open now, open later, or open on a specific day. If they cannot answer that quickly, they may leave or choose a competitor. This widget presents your schedule in a clean, readable format that works on mobile and desktop, and you can highlight special days, holidays, or mixed hours. It is useful for local stores, clinics, restaurants, agencies, and service providers that rely on appointments or walk ins. By removing uncertainty about when you are active, you reduce support calls, missed visits, and frustration.
