## Notes

Wix Headless is a project type in Wix's hosted platform that exposes Wix business APIs to a frontend the creator builds. The docs describe two routes. In the Wix-managed route, Wix hosts and runs the frontend, and the Wix CLI scaffolds an Astro project. In the self-managed route, the creator hosts a frontend built with any framework and connects it to Wix's backend through the JavaScript SDK or REST API.

The business APIs cover eCommerce, bookings, events, memberships, CMS and blog. A management dashboard comes with the project, and a WordPress site can be moved over with an AI agent.

## Worth knowing

The backend stays on Wix in both routes, so a self-managed frontend still depends on a hosted service.
