Deletes a category.

Impact on connected services

When you delete a category, any services linked to it remain associated with the now-deleted category. Wix Bookings still displays these services to business owners in the dashboard, but they aren't visible to customers on the live site. Attempting to call Update Service (SDK | REST) for a service that's linked to a deleted category fails, unless you specify a different, existing category ID in service.category.id.

Authentication
  • When developing websites or building an app with Blocks, this method may require elevated permissions, depending on the identity of the user calling it and the calling user's permissions.
  • When building apps without Blocks or for headless projects, you can only call this method directly when authenticated as a Wix app or Wix user identity. When authenticated as a different identity, you can call this method using elevation.
  • Elevation permits users to call methods they typically cannot access. Therefore, you should only use it intentionally and securely.
