Question:
How do I get my custom-built billing integration to continue working after wix suddenly stops billing automatically on February 27?
Product:
Wix Studio, Wix Billings, Wix Bookings, unique API integration with a billing system.
What are you trying to achieve:
Many countries, including ours, have strict rules on the obligation to issue invoices. For this reason, we have created a custom integration with an online billing system with an API that needs to run after card payments on the site. This is linked to the wixBilling_onInvoiceCreated event and the event.data provides the data needed to create the invoice.
Now that wix has announced that they are discontinuing automatic invoice creation and introducing automatic receipt creation at February 27, I have no idea how I can keep it running.
The biggest problem is that I don’t even see, as there is no information above, how to manage the new Receipt event with Velo code and if I will be able to extract the billing data (billing name, address, service name, price, etc) from it.
So does anyone have any ideas on how to make a smooth transition to some other solution beforehand? What other event can I link the self-billing function after payment to that can also provide data for invoicing?
Additional information:
I like wix studio for many things, but this is the second time that they have made an ongoing business model inoperable in the blink of an eye by making changes without thinking about those who are negatively affected. I do not understand why all the information cannot be provided in advance to ensure a smooth transition for websites with custom developments. We are certainly not the only ones with our own functionality related to this event. So I am sad about this.
