Introduction:
Ever had a client ask if customers could choose their own price for a product? I built Pay What You Want to make that possible with existing Wix Stores products, while letting the store owner set a minimum price.
How I did it:
Once the app is installed, add its widget to your product page. From the app dashboard, select the products you want to enable and set their minimum and suggested prices.
Customers can then enter their own amount and click “Add to cart at your price.” The original product and selected variant go into the normal Wix cart, and checkout continues as usual. Products you haven’t enabled keep their normal purchase flow.
Tools, Documentation and APIs:
Built with the Wix CLI app framework, Wix-hosted backend code, Wix Data, and Wix Stores/eCommerce APIs. The backend validates the chosen amount before adding the product to the cart. Pricing follows the store’s currency, with no separate hosting or payment processor needed.
Example:
Set a product’s minimum price to $5 and suggested price to $10. A customer can enter $12.34 and purchase it at that price through your Wix checkout.
There’s a 10-day free trial, then US$5/month or US$60/year. I’d love to hear your feedback!
