Introduction

The wix-ecom-backend Velo API allows you to create, manage, and/or retrieve 3 elements of the eCommerce purchase flow: cart; checkout; order.

Wix eCommerce API and Wix Stores API

The main difference between the two APIs is that while Wix eCommerce manages the cart, checkout, and order phases of the online store experience, Wix Stores continues to manage product catalogs, inventories and collections. The following table outlines the differences between the two APIs.
