Add Apps to a Project

Wix apps add business solutions to your headless project, such as Stores, Bookings, Events, and Pricing Plans. Installing an app unlocks its APIs and its management tools in your project's dashboard.

When you create a headless project, you choose an initial set of apps. You can add more apps at any time from the project dashboard or with an AI agent, as described below. To add apps from code, see Add Apps with the REST API.

Add apps from the dashboard

  1. In the project dashboard click Apps in the sidebar menu, then select App Market.

  2. Search for the app you want, or browse the Wix Business Solutions category in the App Market sidebar.

  3. Select the app and click Add to Site.

Note: The App Market also offers apps designed to run on Wix sites. For a headless project, choose apps that provide their functionality through APIs, such as the Wix business solutions. Apps whose main feature is a site widget don't work with a headless frontend.

To see and manage the apps installed on your project, go to Apps > Manage Apps in the project dashboard.

Add apps with an AI agent

If you connect your AI client to the Wix MCP, it authenticates as you, a logged-in Wix user, and can add apps to your project from a prompt. For example, prompt your AI client with:

Copy

Behind the scenes, the agent calls the App Installation API, the same API described in Add Apps with the REST API.
