Add Your App Audience Info

Adding the right App Audience info helps Wix users decide whether your app is the right solution for them and increases your app's exposure to relevant Wix users.

To configure your app audience settings:

  1. Go to the App Profile > App Audience page of your app's dashboard.
  2. Fill out the following:
    • Required Wix products: If relevant, select the Wix products that your app depends on. For details, see Add app dependencies. Wix blocks Wix users from adding your app to their site if they don't have the relevant Wix product installed. Wix prompts them to install the required product.
    • Supported countries: Define your app's geographic availability. Note: The geographic availability does not prevent Wix users from adding your app to their site, regardless of their location.
    • Supported languages: Select the languages your app is translated into. For a language to count as translated, both site-visitor-facing and site-owner-facing assets (components) must be translated. Only select languages you provide translations for.
  3. Press Save.

About required Wix products

When your app's functionality depends on a specific Wix product (such as Wix Stores, Wix Bookings, or Wix Events), you can designate it as a required Wix product in your App Audience settings. That designation ensures that Wix users have the necessary infrastructure in place before they can install and use your app.

Important: Most Wix APIs require the relevant Wix app to be installed on the site. For example, to use Stores APIs, the Wix Stores app must be installed. To use Bookings APIs, the Wix Bookings app must be installed. If your app calls these APIs, select the corresponding Wix product as required to prevent installation and runtime errors.

Installation flow with required products

The installation behavior depends on the type of dependency:

Manual dependencies (most Wix products)

For most required Wix products (such as Wix Stores, Wix Bookings, Wix Events, and Wix Restaurants Orders), they are manual dependencies:

When a Wix user attempts to install your app and a required Wix product is not installed on their site:

  1. Wix blocks installation: The Wix user cannot complete the installation of your app until the required product is installed.
  2. Wix user is prompted: The installation flow automatically prompts the Wix user to install the required Wix product first.
  3. Seamless experience: Once the Wix user installs the required product, they can proceed with installing your app.

This automatic check prevents Wix users from installing your app and encountering errors or losing functionality due to missing dependencies.

Auto-installed dependency (Checkout & Orders)

Checkout & Orders (the eCommerce app) is a special case and is auto-installed.

When you select Checkout & Orders as a required product, Wix automatically installs the base eCommerce app alongside your app whenever a Wix user installs it. The Wix user does not need to manually install it first—Wix installs the eCommerce app automatically in the background.

This streamlined installation ensures that eCommerce functionality is immediately available when your app is installed.
