Wix Headless lets you build your frontend with any framework and integrate with Wix’s production-ready business solutions such as eCommerce, Bookings, and Events.
Headless projects appear in your Wix account alongside your Wix sites and are managed through the same dashboard. From there, you can manage customers, process orders, and track analytics.
You can connect multiple frontends to a single Wix project. For example, a website, mobile app, and other clients can share the same underlying business data.
Wix Headless supports the following development paths, depending on how much setup and hosting you want to manage yourself. Both paths allow you to connect to Wix backend services using Wix APIs.
Wix-managed headless is a fully managed solution for developing and hosting your headless project. Use the CLI for Headless to scaffold a project from starter templates or build from scratch, or bootstrap a project using AI with Wix Vibe.

Note: This path requires less setup and is the recommended option for most use cases.
Build your frontend from scratch with any framework and host it anywhere. You handle all configuration, authentication, and deployment.
Use this path when you need more flexibility, want to integrate Wix into an existing site, or have specific hosting requirements.
Wix Vibe is an AI-powered tool that lets you bootstrap Wix-managed headless projects using conversational prompts. You can develop your project further with the CLI and edit the project's code directly, working in the Wix Vibe editor or your preferred IDE.
