Overview
Wix eCommerce is the commerce layer of Wix’s hosted website platform. It lets merchants create storefronts, publish product catalogs, accept payments, manage orders and coordinate fulfillment from a central dashboard.
The platform supports physical goods, digital downloads, gift cards, subscriptions, dropshipping and print-on-demand workflows. Merchants can also sell through websites, social channels, marketplaces and Wix point-of-sale tools.
Wix targets small businesses, creators, retailers and agencies that want visual site control alongside built-in commerce operations. More advanced builds can use Wix Studio, APIs, service plugins and headless commerce capabilities.
