Honest caveats
It is a single channel; if you also use WhatsApp or Instagram, a multi-channel chat widget is tidier. The free plan has usage limits and paid plans are billed yearly per widget, from $24 a year. Site-wide use needs code injection on a Squarespace Core plan or higher. See our live chat plugins guide.
Messenger Chat Widget is a Squarespace 7.1 plugin from Common Ninja aimed at site owners adding buttons, tabs, accordions, and micro-UI. The scope is narrow on purpose: interface components inside Squarespace pages, with attention to accordions and tabs, calls to action, and consistent styling with your theme.
Implementation-wise, you’re still working with Squarespace’s native structure—this is positioned as an extension of the editor, not a parallel stack.
If your site mixes ui components patterns with other add-ons, skim Common Ninja’s documentation for known interactions and version support.

Worth a look when accordions and tabs and calls to action are on your roadmap and you want consistent styling with your theme without leaving Squarespace 7.1.
