Making a Private App?

Question:
Hello. I have developed an app (a regular web app, not a wix app). The client has a wix webpage, and would like to allow users to log in to the app using their wix accounts.

I have created a blank wix “app” in the Wix Developers Dashboard, and added the necessary webhooks. All good so far.

However, I can’t figure out how to make a wix “app” just for one website. I don’t want to publish this to the app store and have it available to everyone publicly.

Is what I’m trying to do just impossible? I hope not!

Product:
Wix Developers Dashboard / Wix App Development

I’ve been digging around and still haven’t been able to find any information. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Onur

I think Wix Headless is what you’re looking for.

Hi Valentin,

Thanks for the suggestion. I’m not sure if I understand this right, but isn’t Wix Headless for making apps without a Wix webpage?

In my case, we already have a Wix webpage. But the app is not part of the webpage. It just needs to log in using the wix login.

I understand this would be possible using Wix Headless, but then it would be a separate environment entirely, and users wouldn’t be able to log in using their credentials on our Wix webpage, would they?

We also need to trigger webhooks when a user purchases a product in the Wix webpage. Since wix headless would be in a separate environment, I don’t think it would be able to catch purchases from the Wix webpage?

Thanks for the help.

So after some messing around, it just occured to me that I can keep an app in draft status and add it to my website using the “Test Your App” button. I think that should actually do exactly what I want it to do, unless there are some limitations that I am not aware of.
