Add and edit text in your Square Online site
About text elements
Text is one of the most important forms of content on a website. Start by adding any number of sections to your Square Online site and customizing your text to fit your purpose. Options include plain text, scrolling text, text with images, and more.
Before you begin
You can add and edit text, add a scrolling marquee, and add text links from your Square Dashboard.
Generating text with AI and using the scrolling marquee requires a Square Online Plus or Premium subscription.
Add text to your website
Sections are categorized by purpose. While many include at least some text, the ones in the Organize category in the sections menu are the best options for adding more than a few lines.
Sign in to your Square Dashboard and go to Sales channels > Online > Website > Edit site.
Open the page you want to add a text section to.
Select an existing section or select +Add > Section and choose a section type.
Select the section to see your customization options and complete your edits.
Publish your site to see the changes live.
You can also select Rewrite with AI in the editing panel to generate content with artificial intelligence (AI). Write a short description of what you are hoping to have the AI rewrite and AI generates alternate versions for you to use.
We highly recommend reading through the AI-generated content carefully to make adjustments before publishing.
Add a scrolling marquee
Horizontal scrolling marquees add dynamic visual interest to your website, giving you a way to bring attention to anything you want to highlight.
Sign in to your Square Dashboard and go to Sales channels > Online > Website > Edit site.
Open the page you want to add a scrolling marquee to.
Select an existing section or select +Add > Section and select Scrolling text.
In the editing panel, select Add group to add up to six text groups in the marquee.
Adjust the scroll direction, speed, spacing, and other design elements of your section.
Publish your site to see the changes live.
Create text links
You can create a link using any text you add to your page.
Sign in to your Square Dashboard and go to Sales channels > Online > Website > Edit site.
Highlight the text you want to link on your site.
Select the link icon in the editing panel.
Choose an option from the menu, and fill out the necessary information.
Select Save and publish your site to see the changes live.
