Management Recipes Index
Standard call shape for every curl example across these recipes. The <AUTH> placeholder in example curls is shorthand for the Authorization header only; every actual call ALSO needs wix-site-id: <SITE_ID> and Content-Type: application/json. POST/PATCH against wix-data/*, form-schema-service/*, stores/v3/*, blog/v3/*, and other site-scoped REST families return 403 without wix-site-id — observed seeder regression cost ~100 s rediscovering this on a 2026-05-24 run. Mint the token via npx @wix/cli@latest token --site "$SITE_ID".
What Are Management Recipes?
Management recipes are for REST API operations that configure, set up, and manage Wix business entities on your site. These recipes use REST API calls and are designed for:
- Site setup and configuration — Initial setup of stores, bookings, payments, and other business apps
- Entity management — Creating, updating, and deleting products, services, staff members, pricing plans
- Administrative operations — Bulk updates, contact labeling, data migrations
- Backend integrations — Server-to-server automations, webhooks, data synchronization
These recipes do NOT cover frontend development or SDK usage for displaying data to users.

eCommerce
Routing — pick the right entry point:
