The Wix Accounts API enables you to create Wix accounts.
An account is a collection of Wix assets, such as sites, domains, and premium plans. Note that Wix assets belong to accounts and not to Wix users.
Accounts are managed by one or more registered Wix users, referred to as team members.
Accounts allow companies to:
- Manage teams.
- Assign relevant roles and permissions of each team member within the account.
- Create and manage Wix assets for second-party customers.
When an account owner creates a new account using the Accounts API, the new account is considered a child account of the creating account, referred to as the parent account.
For example, a website reseller might create a child account when funnelling customers directly into Wix’s site creation flow, to build a site for themselves, while retaining a relationship to the reseller's account.
- The Accounts API is only open to companies with a signed contract with Wix.
