Wix Studio | Webinar: Build and sell apps with Blocks

[@rojoy6594]

Is there a version of blocks for us to use when we are trying to build them their own branded app. If there is, I can't wait cuz this will make it easier for me to upsell my clients and faster for me to build the branded apps for my clients

[@WixStudio]

Hello. Could you please clarify what you are referring to?

[@bingers_tv]

This is amazing! A great tool and opportunity for us developers

Is there a way to register to a webhook event of the hosting site (like order paid) so a backend function of wixBlocks will be executed each time order is paid? I cannot find any explanation about this?

[@WixStudio]

Yes, you can absolutely register to a webhook event when an order is paid using Velo by Wix. To achieve this, you can add an events.js backend file in your code and define the logic for the event you want to trigger, such as the "order paid" event. We’ve got full documentation to guide you through this. For example, if you’re looking to execute a backend function each time an order is paid, check out our guide here: dev.wix.com/docs/velo/api-reference/wix-stores-backend/events/on-order-paid. You’ll find all the supported events for Wix Stores and other business solutions within our Velo documentation. Hope this helps! Let us know if you have more questions.

@@WixStudio Thanks. already did it and it works. However, this will require that each person that install the Wix-Blocks app to enable Dev mode and add the event.js with the line of code for invoking WixBlocks backend. Is there a way for the Wix Block to perform this during installation or to use other method to listen to this event?

@@tadmorguy Have you tried posting about this on the Wix Studio forum or contacting our customer care team? For site specific questions like these those resources can best assist as they can look at the site in question, review the code etc.

So I would like to build apps for the wix marketplace. Is it recommended that I use a different account than my wix business accounts to do this? I have another business I am doing as well but I would love to dive into the wix marketplace and start developing.

[@WixStudio]

Hello. You can build Apps for the Wix Marketplace in any account you prefer. support.wix.com/en/article/creating-a-third-party-app-for-the-wix-app-market

So I have used Wix to build out a non profit organization website ( I am not an agency ) But Wix Studio looks to have features I would love to have on the current site, like scalability for example. Is there any reason why I should not move the current website over to wix studio when its available? Does it have all the current features regular Wix has? or would moving the site potentially remove some features due to it not being on Wix Studio yet?

[@WixStudio]

@@WixStudio ok awesome, so if I were to move the website over to wix studio, then I will still be able to use the current editor as well as the wix studio editor together?

[@AliAbbas-d9t]

Hello I cannot use any code defined in backend, it gives me 403 error, advice me to work on that

[@WixStudio]

Hi Ali, in case of 403 error, you need to clear your browser's cache and cookies.

@@WixStudio it did not work for me

Just realized that Secret Manager cannot be accessed by blocks . Adding a new collection is possible but takes a few hours (~10) until it is created on the hosted web site - FYI.

[@WixStudio]

We don’t have a secret manager in Blocks and as mentioned you can’t access it from Blocks. Regarding the collection, you can have more than one collection for a Blocks app, each collection will be installed as an instance on the site the app is installed on and the Blocks app can access each one of those collections

I’d personal like for a way for you to add logic without code in the app block builder. Wix studio is a great place for people that don’t know how to code but want to make a website. So why not add logic to the app builder to make that user friendly as well. It could be nice based, like if the user selects this, it will show/hide this. Or if the user clicks yes to something, it will show a different page. For example, a lot of times people want to add forms to there site. With a node based logic, you could easily build a form within the app builder that’s ready to use on your site. And then add a way to chose where to send that data. So if I user fills out your form on your site, you can set it up to send there answers to a google or excel sheet. This would be an ABSOLUTE game changer

[@WixStudio]
