# About the Brands API

The Brands API allows you to create and manage brands, which can then be assigned to products using the [Products API](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/stores/catalog-v3/products-v3/introduction.md).

With the Brands API, you can:
- Create and manage brands.
- Retrieve information about existing brands.

## Assigning brands to products

You can assign a brand to a product by:
- Passing the brand's `id` when creating or updating a product.
- Passing a brand `name`. If a brand with that name exists, it's assigned; otherwise, a new brand is created.

## Deleting brands

When a brand is deleted, it's automatically removed from all products that reference it.

## Before you begin

It's important to note the following point before starting to code:

- The Wix user must install the [Wix Stores app](https://www.wix.com/app-market/wix-stores).
