Velo is where most of the impossible happens.
Velo is Wix's full-stack development platform — server-side JavaScript, database collections, HTTP functions, scheduled jobs and webhooks. It's how we make Wix do things Wix never advertised.
Velo lets us write server-side code that runs inside your Wix site — querying collections, calling external APIs, handling webhooks, running scheduled jobs, and exposing custom HTTP endpoints.
It's the engine behind almost every custom WixRocket build: booking logic, integrations, automation, document generation and headless APIs.
- You need server-side logic Wix's native editor can't express
- You need to call external APIs or handle webhooks from Wix
- You need scheduled, automated processes
What's the difference between Velo and Wix Headless?
Velo is Wix's built-in serverless platform — code that runs inside your Wix project. Headless means consuming Wix's data and APIs from an external frontend. We use both, often together.
Is Velo being deprecated?
Wix continues to invest in its developer platform. We track changes closely and architect builds to stay compatible.
