Create a Blog with Square Online
You can engage new and existing visitors and customers by creating blog posts in Square Online. Create blog posts to talk about your business, highlight new items for sale, suggest recipes, share personal updates and much more. Each post is automatically displayed on your site’s blog overview page, and readers can then share those posts to their social media accounts using the built-in share buttons.
Add a Blog to Your Site
To create a blog, start by adding a blog overview to your site, a dynamic webpage that displays links to individual blog posts. When you create a new blog post, it’ll automatically be added to the overview page, with the most recent posts appearing at the top. The overview page and the individual blog pages are customisable and can include other sections.
To add a blog to your Square Online site:
From your Square Dashboard, select + > Page.
Choose Blog overview and Add it to your site.
In the editing panel, select your List of blog posts section to Create a new post.
Edit the Blog header section to apply any changes to all of your blog pages.
Edit the Blog content section by adding an optional image and your blog post text.
Publish your site to see the changes live.
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) and Social Medial Links
You can edit search engine optimisation (SEO) keywords and descriptions, as well as the social media appearance for both the blog overview and individual blog pages. To start, select the gear icon in the editing panel to see options for the post you’re viewing.

Reader Comments and Sharing
Blog readers won’t be able to add comments or start discussions directly on your blog posts, but you can add a contact form section on your blog page to allow readers to reach you directly about your post. Learn more about adding a contact form to your Square Online site for more information.
To share your post, readers can select the social icons at the top of each blog post.
Delete a Blog Post
To delete a blog post:
From your Square Dashboard, select the Page dropdown menu.
Under the blog post you want to delete, select the trash can icon.
Select Delete to confirm the change.
Publish your site to see the changes live.
RSS Feed
If you have an existing blog on another website you want to add to your Square Online site, you can use the RSS feed section to make blog posts appear in Square Online without recreating them. Learn more about the RSS feed section for more details.
