<script
  src="https://alytica.tech/js/tracker.js"
  data-website-id="YOUR_WEBSITE_ID"
  data-domain="yourdomain.squarespace.com"
></script>

Option 2: Page Header Code Block

  data-domain="yourdomain.squarespace.com"
></script>

3. Track Custom Events

Utilize the global window.alytica() function for tracking:

// Track product purchases
window.alytica('payment', {
    amount: 49.99,
    email:'customer@email.com'
});
 
// Track user account creation
window.alytica('signup', {
    email:'user@email.com'
});
 
// Track custom events
window.alytica('feature_used', { 
  feature: 'dark-mode'
