On-screen link vs email delivery
Showing the download link right after sign-up is convenient, but people who mistype their email still get the file and you never reach them again. Sending the link by email avoids that. Many sites do both.
Alternative
You can also link from your Squarespace site to a hosted opt-in page that handles the form and delivery. Check Squarespace’s help docs for current block names and integration options.
Common follow-up questions
