As a food truck, how can I share our calendar of events on our Square website?

Through Square Online we've published our website  with Online Ordering, Catering & About Us tabs.  We'd like to be able to link a calendar of events or where we are going to be each day. 

 

Anyone figured this out in a way that looks nice?

Step 1: Publish Your Outlook Calendar

  1. Log in to Outlook on the web.

  2. In the left-hand panel, right-click your calendar > Sharing and permissions.

  3. Click "Publish" or go to Settings > View all Outlook settings > Calendar > Shared calendars.

  4. Under “Publish a calendar”:

    • Select the calendar.

    • Choose “Can view all details.”

    • Click Publish.

This will generate two links:

  • HTML: for viewing in a browser (use this)

  • ICS: for subscribing to the calendar (don’t use this here)

 

Step 2: Copy the HTML Calendar Link

Copy the HTML link that looks something like:

 

 
```https://outlook.office.com/owa/calendar/yourcalendar@domain.com/view.html ```

 

Step 3: Add the Embed Code to Your Square Site

Paste this into an Embed Code block in the Square Online site editor:

 

html
 
```<iframe src="https://outlook.office.com/owa/calendar/[email protected]/view.html" width="100%" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"> </iframe>
```
 
Remove the ``` before and after the code, I did that so it would actually show up here.
Replace the src link with your actual calendar HTML link!
  • This shows your calendar in a clean, scroll-free view.

  • Make sure your calendar is public or anyone with the link can view it.

  • If you're an admin using Microsoft 365, ensure external sharing is allowed.

@fyrgrillco on your main page you can "add section" where you can add several different built ins and outside links.  What do you use for your calendar, that way I can maybe direct you to which way to add it easily and it will blend in and update seamlessly.
