Step 1: Import your testimonials

Now go to the import page. Here you'll be able to import your reviews and customer love from over 17 sources including Google, Youtube, Slack, and Whatsapp.
Once you're done importing, head back to the testimonials page.

Step 2. Create a widget for your testimonials
Now that you've imported your testimonials, you can finally add them to your website.
To do this, we'll create a Senja widget. Don't worry, the process will only take a couple minutes.
To get started, click on the Studio button in the Senja sidebar.
Immediately, you'll see all the sharing options available in Senja.
Other than embedding your testimonials on your Squarespace Website, Senja lets you create beautiful images you can post on social media, as well as stunning Walls of Love that you can use to showcase your best testimonials.
Since we're trying to embed testimonials on our website, let's click on the widgets tab.
Now you can select a widget template you want. For this example, I'll use this grid widget.
I want to put my testimonials on my home page, so I'll call this widget "Home Page Testimonials" and hit the "Create Widget" button.
And you're done! Now you already have this beautiful testimonial widget that you can add to any page of your website.
Senja has dozens of templates and customization options to choose from. You can pick any of them and see how your widget looks.
You can also customize the colors (background color, link color, text color etc), shape and style of any widget to match your website's design perfectly 🎨
Step 3. Add your testimonial widget to Squarespace
Visit the Squarespace dashboard and click on the site you want to add your testimonial widget to.
Click on the "Pages" tab on the sidebar.
Click on the page you want to add your widget to. In this case, we'll be adding our testimonial widget to our home page.
Click on the edit button to edit the page.
Scroll to the section you want to add your Senja testimonials widget to then click on the "Add block" button.
Select the "Embed" block.
Place the embed block where you want your testimonial widget to be on the page. In the content panel of the embed, click on "Code Snippet."
Click on the "embed data" and then paste your Senja embed code. You may need to publish your site first for the testimonial widget to show up.
Click save and publish your website.
Now your testimonial widget should show up on your Squarespace site.
