View this post for step-by-step guide on

Adding a PDF to your Squarespace product details is an effective way to provide customers with additional information such as sizing charts, manuals, warranties, or instructions.

Step-by-step guide:

1. Prepare Your PDF File:
   Ensure your PDF file is finalized and optimized for web viewing. Consider compressing the file size to improve load times.

2. Upload PDF to Squarespace:

   • Open your Squarespace editor and go to the product page or product details section.

   • Add a Text Block, Button Block, or Image Block within the product description area.

   • Highlight the text or create a download button, then select the Link icon.

   • Choose the File link option and either upload your PDF or select one from your previously uploaded files.

3. Link the PDF for Customers to Download or View:
   When customers click the link or button, the PDF opens in a new tab by default, allowing them to view or download the file.

4. Enhance with Lightbox Studio PDF Viewer (Recommended):

   • Beyondspace's Lightbox Studio plugin enhances the PDF experience by opening files in a clean, responsive popup directly on the product page.

   • This keeps visitors engaged without navigating away and supports advanced features like zoom and page navigation.

   • Installation is simple and works seamlessly on Squarespace 7.0 and 7.1.

5. Improve Customer Experience:

   • Provide clear call-to-action text for PDF links, such as “Download Size Chart” or “View Manual.”

   • Test your PDF links on desktop and mobile to ensure accessibility and compatibility.
