About Wix Blocks

Wix Blocks is an editor for designing, coding and deploying native Wix apps. It lets you build site and dashboard extensions using Wix’s drag-and-drop editor, with its powerful layout and design tools, and code your business logic using Velo, Wix’s native coding solution. Your code is deployed and hosted on the Wix cloud, with no additional costs or setup by you.

Extend Wix using Blocks

Blocks apps can add functionality to various parts of the Wix ecosystem, such as adding a page to a site’s dashboard or a widget to a site page. Each specific type of functionality that an app can provide is called an extension.

When you need custom UI

Blocks is a composition tool that lets you rapidly create drag and drop UI from native Wix elements. If you are looking to create a rich custom visual representation, that dynamically adds elements to a widget in flexible locations, you can use one of the following options:

• Create a Custom Element to embed in Blocks
• Or, use the Wix CLI to write your UI code

Make your app public

You can build Blocks apps for your own use or for sharing. If you’re building a public app, you'll have to set up your App Market listing, create promotional assets to showcase your app, and set up your app’s pricing plans to start making money. Finally, you'll need to submit your app for review so Wix’s team can check that everything’s working as it should.
