New offering enables developers to use Wix's
business APIs for integrating eCommerce, Bookings, CMS, Events and
more, from anywhere
NEW
YORK, May 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Wix.com Ltd.
(NASDAQ: WIX), a leading global SaaS platform to create, manage and
grow an online presence, today launched Wix Headless. The new
offering is designed for developers to implement Wix's
powerful business solutions, using composable application
programming interfaces (APIs) and software development kit (SDK)
with any tech stack across different platforms and devices.
Developers can use a variety of Wix Business Solutions that can all
be accessed from the SDK and managed from within Wix's
comprehensive management platform. These APIs are in sync and can
be used out of the box with Wix's additional solutions such as
contacts and checkout.
Wix Headless opens the door for using Wix Business Solutions
with leading web frameworks, including React, Vue, Svelte, Qwik,
and more, enabling more partnerships with leading full stack
solutions. Netlify is the first platform to partner with Wix
in offering a quick start integration with Wix's Bookings, Events,
eCommerce, CMS and Pricing Plans APIs. Some of the capabilities of
these APIs include booking services for classes, courses,
appointments, and subscriptions, managing events to create RSVPs,
guest lists, selling tickets, and operating eCommerce
businesses.
Wix has worked to develop products that enable more capabilities
within the Wix platform. These tools include Velo, which provides
developers the ability to use custom code, Wix Blocks, which
enables the creation of highly customizable and reusable
applications and widgets, and the recent beta launch of Codux,
enabling designers to work directly on React code. Introducing Wix
Headless marks the first time the company is opening the backend to
work outside the Wix platform, creating an even more robust
portfolio of developer-centric solutions that enable easier
scalability, more customization, and ultimately enable faster
delivery of projects.
Benefits of using Wix Headless:
- Create custom solutions: Using APIs to access and manage
business data in Wix's platform, developers can create custom
solutions that integrate seamlessly with Wix Business Solutions,
even if their delivery layer, site or app, is not on Wix.
- Multiple lines of business from one dashboard: Utilize
Wix Business Solution APIs that are all integrated with Payments by
Wix, and can all be managed within the Wix dashboard.
- Power multiple front-ends: Maximize the ways customers
can interact with a business by connecting multiple clients to a
single Wix back-end. For example, multiple websites, a mobile app,
and a smartwatch app can all offer services on behalf of the same
Wix backend business.
- Connect additional sites or apps to existing projects on
Wix: Developers with an operational Wix site can take advantage
of the headless functionality without starting from scratch by
keeping their existing Wix site and adding new sites or apps that
access and service the same business.
- Take advantage of a global payments infrastructure:
Streamline payments with Payments by Wix to accept payments
worldwide. Through Wix's providers platform, developers can connect
to payment providers located in South
America, North America,
Europe, and more, without
integrating multiple payment gateways.
"Wix Headless enables developers to use Wix in ways that weren't
previously possible, from scaling their online presences to
managing multiple complex projects in one place," said Shahar Talmi, GM Developer Platform at Wix.
"We're constantly advancing our business solutions on Wix, and by
providing developers access to these APIs, with the ability
to incorporate them into projects built on other platforms, we're
accelerating the endless possibilities presented in the web
development industry."
