All apps that want to be listed on the Wix App Market need to go through a review process. This is to check they meet our requirements for performance, security, content, and more. Some of these checks are automated in the App Dashboard, while others are assessed manually by a member of the Wix team.
You need to submit your app for review when:
You can auto-publish your app if:
It's important that your app is production-ready before you submit it for review and approval. This means checking and testing the app thoroughly. One way to test that the app is working as it should is to use a free Premium development site.
If you're submitting for the first time, or your app has major changes not suitable for auto-publishing, then a member of the Wix team will carefully review your app. They will communicate with you via the email address you provide in the Contact info tab. This process can take up to 15 business days. You can help speed up the process by making sure you've tested thoroughly prior to submission and being responsive to any feedback the team sends.
You can view your app’s submission status in the Versions tab of your app's dashboard.
