Is WIX a good choice for a subscription-based data application?

Hi there,

a newbie question here!

We are building an app that generates custom charts based on data we fetch from 3rd party services. It works fine but we would like to add subscriptions and CMS functionality to it.

We are wondering if WIX will be a good choice for that.

As far as I can tell, with WIX Velo, we are able to create a custom code. That is how I envisage our integration:

  1. The current app we have would be turned into a REST API so that it would feed WIX with data.

  2. Wix would be used as CMS and it would handle the subscriptions. It would also render the charts based on what we get from the REST API (current app).

  3. Backend code in Velo would be used to fetch the data from our REST API for SUBSCRIBED USERS only. It is important that our backend code can verify if the user has access to the data (is subscribed or not).

  4. Frontend code in Velo would be used to render the charts based on the data we get from the REST API.

Do you think we can achieve this functionality with WIX? I am mostly concerned about subscription and whether we can style the custom charts the way we need (We use a 3rd party JS library for that - amCharts). Are we allowed to add custom JS/CSS libraries to WIX pages?

Thank you for your help!
