About the Tips APIs

The Tips APIs allow app developers to manage tips within the Wix eCommerce ecosystem. Your app can help business owners customize and streamline their tip management processes by identifying eligible staff for tip distributions, previewing tips before creating an eCommerce order, applying tips to an order, or developing custom tip dashboards.

With the Tips API, your app can:

  • Manage tip settings that control how Wix Tips calculates tips.
  • Retrieve information about which staff are eligible to receive tips.
  • Preview tips before creating an eCommerce order.
  • Apply tips to an eCommerce order.
