The Wix eCommerce platform's power lies in its modularity. The platform’s composable architecture provides you with the autonomy to customize, extend, or replace the platform’s functionalities to meet your requirements. This is made possible through various extension points such as APIs, SPIs, data extensions, and custom extensions to a site’s checkout UI and its dashboard.
