# About Business Solutions

Business Solutions contains JavaScript SDK functionality for extending Wix features and managing site data. This functionality is specific to the SDK and doesn't have REST equivalents.

Business Solutions includes:

- **[Dashboard plugins:](https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/develop-your-app/extensions/dashboard-extensions/dashboard-plugins/about-dashboard-plugin-extensions.md)** Interactive widgets that integrate into dashboard pages of Wix business solutions. Dashboard plugins allow you to embed custom functionality into existing dashboard pages and access contextual data from the dashboard page.
- **[Dashboard pages:](https://dev.wix.com/docs/sdk/host-modules/dashboard/about-dashboard-page-navigation.md)** Navigation methods that allow you to programmatically direct Wix users to specific dashboard pages in Wix business solutions. Use dashboard pages to navigate Wix users to relevant sections of the dashboard and to integrate deep-linking functionality into your apps.
- **[Data items API:](https://dev.wix.com/docs/sdk/backend-modules/data/items/introduction.md)** Manage and access items in Wix site data collections.

## When to use business solutions

Use this functionality when you need to:
- Extend the functionality of existing Wix business solutions.
- Create custom dashboard experiences for Wix users.
- Integrate with Wix data collections using JavaScript SDK syntax.

For comprehensive business solution APIs that work with both REST and SDK, see the [unified API reference](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference.md).
