deleteContact( )

Deletes a contact.

Deleting a contact permanently removes it from the contact list. If a contact is also a site member or Wix user, or has a valid billing subscription, the contact can't be deleted. The related site member or Wix user must first be deleted and any valid billing subscriptions must be canceled, before the contact can be deleted.

Members are typically linked to contacts, and while they share a relationship, the member ID and contact ID are distinct identifiers. Make sure to specify the contact ID when calling Delete Contact.

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.
