# Wix Site Creators & Velo Developers: Add eCommerce Functionality to Your Site

If you are creating a Wix site and want to ensure it has eCommerce functionality, follow these steps:

1. Install a business solution app that integrates the platform. You can do this in one of the following ways:

    * When creating your site, choose a template that already has an eCommerce business solution app installed. For example, choose an [online store template](https://www.wix.com/website/templates/html/online-store).
    * Install a Wix business solution that integrates Wix eCommerce, such as Wix Bookings or Wix Stores. To do this, find the app you want in the [Wix App Market](https://www.wix.com/app-market/collection/wix-business-solutions) and click **Add to site**.

1. Optionally, add features to your site by installing other apps from the [Wix App Market](https://www.wix.com/app-market) that extend eCommerce functionality.

Once a site has the Wix eCommerce platform installed, site developers can customize and extend the site’s functionalities by:

* Importing the [Velo eCommerce modules](https://www.wix.com/velo/reference/wix-ecom-backend/introduction) and using its APIs in your code.
* Leveraging the [Velo eCommerce service plugins](https://www.wix.com/velo/reference/spis/wix-ecom) for deeper customization.
