App Management includes various aspects, such as installation tracking, billing, pricing plans, analytics, and embedded scripts. These features allow you to monitor app usage, offer flexible pricing options, and integrate with Wix's ecosystem efficiently. App Management ensures that apps are correctly installed, properly billed, and provide valuable insights through analytics.
With App Management you can:
- Track which sites have installed the app and whether Wix users have a free or paid plan.
- Automate charging for app usage through Wix’s built-in billing system or external solutions.
- Collect valuable data on how Wix users interact with the app and use BI events to optimize the experience.
- App instance: Specific occurrence of your app on a particular Wix site.
- Paid plan: A version of your app that isn't free. This version could require a single one-time payment or a subscription based payment.
- App plan: Pricing plan that describes how your app charges users. You can set up multiple plans for your app, with different plans offering different tiers of functionality. For example, you can offer a free plan and 3 paid plans with an increasing number of benefits.
- Wix pricing page: Wix offers your app an out-of-the-box pricing page that displays up to 4 app plans for your app to users.
- Wix checkout: Wix allows you to charge site owners either through the Wix Billing ecosystem or to manage your app's billing externally. In case you manage your app's pricing page on your own servers, you can still redirect site owners to the standard Wix checkout page by using
