About the Apps API

The Apps API allows you to programmatically start the following processes for Wix apps:

• Installation
• Update
• Purchase plan
• Contact support

With the Apps API you can:

• Make sure that Wix users install and update Wix apps which your project depends on.
• Start the purchase plan process to prompt Wix users to purchase a premium plan on a Wix app.
• Start the contact support process to make user support easy to access.

Before you begin

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

• Installation and update flows may require Wix user consent to permissions.
• Purchase plan flows vary depending on whether the app is made by Wix or by a 3rd-party and on specific app configurations.
