Adding a shopping cart to your Wix site is a great way to start selling products or services online. There are two ways to add a shopping cart to your Wix site: using the Wix stores app or using an external shopping cart service.
Using the Wix Stores app is the easiest way to add a shopping cart to your Wix site. Simply add the app to your site from the Wix App Market and follow the instructions.
Exciting update! We've collaborated with Wix to offer WBI users with a free plan for all website creation needs - Explore the details here.
The app will provide you with everything you need to get started, including a shopping cart, product pages, and checkout forms.
First of all, Wix is a hosted platform, which means that your website will be subject to the same uptime and downtime as the Wix servers. This means that if Wix has any technical problems, your website will be affected as well.
Secondly, Wix does not offer any kind of support for shopping carts or ecommerce features. This means that if you have any problems with your shopping cart, you will need to seek out third-party support or find a workaround yourself.
Finally, be aware that adding a shopping cart to your Wix website will increase the complexity of your site, which could make it more difficult to manage and maintain.
If you want more control over your store, or if you need a more advanced shopping cart, you can use an external shopping cart service. To add an external shopping cart service to your Wix site, you’ll need to add some code to your site.
This is usually provided by the service you’re using, and can be added to your site through the Wix Code panel.
Once you’ve added your code, you’ll be able to customize your store pages and checkout forms to match your brand. You’ll also be able to take advantage of features like coupons, discounts, and shipping options that are not available with the Wix Stores app.
No matter which option you choose, adding a shopping cart to your Wix site is a great way to start selling online.
