About the Categories API

The Categories API allows you to manage service categories. Wix Bookings displays services ordered by category on the live site to customers and in the dashboard for the business.

With the Categories API, you can manage service categories.

Before you begin

It’s important to note the following points before starting to code:

• Wix Bookings must be installed on a site before you can use the Categories API.
• Wix Bookings displays services ordered by category to the business and customers. Within a category, services are ordered by the service's sortOrder field (SDK | REST).
• You can't connect a service to more than a single category.
• By default, Wix Bookings creates a category with {"name": "Our Services"}.

Use cases

• Create a category and connect a service (SDK | REST).

Terminology

• Category: An entity used to group multiple services together, helping businesses manage them and customers find what they need.
• Service: A business offering, which can be a class, course, or appointment. For example, a fitness studio might offer 30-minute personal training sessions, 1-hour yoga classes every Monday at 7:00 PM, and introductory HIIT courses consisting of 3 training sessions on specific dates.
