To do this, log into the backend of Squarespace and select Settings > Connected Accounts.
Here you will have the option to connect your main social media accounts to your Squarespace website.
Note: If you ever want to disconnect any of your social media accounts go back into Connected Accounts, select the account you wish to disconnect and a pop up will appear allowing you to do so.
Once your social media accounts are connected, you can choose where you would like them to display on your website.
