Wix app tutorial
In order to create a new Wix app with Inffuse, you need to create a developer account first and create a new app in the Wix developers dashboard. After you’ve created a Wix app, proceed to Inffuse dashboard.
Wix developer dashboard actions
- Open a Wix developer account if you don’t already have one.
- Click “Create new app” and choose a name for the app. You now have an App ID and a Secret key to put in the Inffuse dashboard.
- Now pick the app component. Regular widget works for most apps - it is simply an iframe inside a Wix website. Fixed position component is the same, only limited to one corner/side of the screen, and appears in every page (most script based apps like live chat for example, should pick this component). Page is just a full page app and dashboard is a back office app, which the site owner can only access from his website’s settings (this is useful for business apps such as SEO or analytics apps).
- In Widget Endpoint Definitions enter the widget URL where your app files are located (can be changed later). Default width and height determine the default size of your app’s iframe.
- In App Settings Endpoint enter the settings URL where your app files are located (can be changed later). After that, choose the size of your settings window.
- In Widget Endpoint Content enter your app’s name, icon and short description.
- The WixHive API offers various backend functionality and APIs that you can register to.
- From this point you can already start to develop and test your app. The rest of the info is marketing and sales settings and info. When you’re ready we have a few tips for you on how to improve your Wix listing.
