First of all install the snapd package like it is [https://docs.snapcraft.io/core/install-manjaro described in the official documentation] with two simple terminal commands:
sudo pacman -Sy snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
Then simply install Spotify alongside with the core snap as dependency:
sudo snap install spotify
That's it!
Now you can run Spotify either by executing the following command in the terminal:
snap run spotify
Or even easier you can find Spotify using the application finder within your desktop environment.
