Wix's open platform empowers developers to customize, extend, and integrate with Wix's services. Use our APIs and powerful developer tools to build your next project on Wix.
There are 3 main ways to develop on Wix:

Develop custom websites

Use Wix's website development platform to customize your site with code.
  • Extend and customize your site's UI by adding custom behaviors and interactions among UI elements.
  • Add third-party services, npm packages, and streamlined testing protocols to your site’s backend.
  • Use the Wix CMS, or integrate popular external databases like Azure, Google Cloud, AWS, and more.

Build Wix apps

Develop apps that extend Wix site functionality. Reuse your apps on your own sites, or publish them to the Wix App Market to reach millions of users.
  • Help users achieve success by integrating seamlessly with core Wix business solutions like Events, Bookings, Restaurants, and more.
  • Accelerate and simplify development with Wix's APIs, CLI, webhooks, and SDKs, or build apps at lightspeed with Blocks.
  • Showcase and sell your app to millions of potential users through the App Market.

Go headless

Use Wix Headless to integrate Wix's powerful business solutions with your own frontend using any tech stack.
  • Build out your app across multiple frontends.
  • Make calls using REST APIs or the JavaScript SDK to access and manage business data.
  • Use industry-standard OAuth 2.0 authorization. Enjoy Wix's enterprise-grade security for peace of mind.
