Overview
Click to Call from Elfsight adds a phone contact button to a Squarespace page, so visitors can tap to call on a mobile or reveal your number on desktop. It is an embeddable widget hosted on Elfsight's platform, not native Squarespace code. Build and adjust it in Elfsight's online editor: set the phone number, choose the button's placement, and customise the bubble and call window. You can show or hide interface elements, add a contact name, photo and caption, and set text and background colours. The editor also includes rules for which pages and visitor groups see the button, plus display triggers such as time on page, scrolling or exit intent.
Who it suits
This button suits businesses that want visitors to reach a team by phone, including those with separate numbers for sales and support or set working hours. It can be shown to selected visitor groups and on chosen pages, with its appearance and contact details adjusted in Elfsight's editor. A free plan is available to start with.
One honest caveat
A visible button does not guarantee a call: on devices without phone-call support, the call window can still appear, but starting a call depends on the device's operating system and apps. On desktop, clicking reveals the phone number rather than placing a call. Free-tier widgets carry Elfsight branding and monthly view limits; paid plans remove those. The widget stops showing if the Elfsight account lapses.
Installation
Build and customise the button in Elfsight's online editor, then copy its embed code. In Squarespace, add a Code Block where you want the button to appear and paste the code there. Changes you later make in Elfsight's editor update automatically on the page.

The Elfsight editor lets you set the button's placement as left floating, right floating or custom. You can choose particular pages for it to appear on, or exclude pages, and target all visitors, new visitors or returning visitors. Display triggers include time on the page, time spent on the website, scroll percentage and an exit attempt. The editor also offers schedule rules for selected days and hours.
You can adjust the bubble and call window's background and text colours, set a separate colour for the phone number, and change text sizes in the call window. The button can use an international phone number when you include its country code. Elfsight also supports interaction events sent to Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager, including when the bubble opens or the call button is clicked.

A free plan is available, with Elfsight branding and monthly view limits on free-tier widgets. Paid plans remove those limits and branding. The widget stops showing if the Elfsight account lapses.
