What your bot can do with Wix Stores

Recognise and verify customers

Finds the customer in Wix Stores by the email address or mobile number they give, checks their name and one more detail, then sends a one-time code to the contact details Wix Stores holds. Nothing personal is shared until the code is entered.

Customers ask: “I want to check my account — it’s Jane Smith, jane@example.com”

Record IDNameEmail addressPhone / mobilePostcode

Orders and order status

Reads a verified customer’s recent orders from Wix Stores — order number, date, status and total, plus tracking where Wix Stores records it.

Customers ask: “Where is my order?” · “Has my last order been sent?”

Set it up

Most businesses finish in under ten minutes. You need to be able to sign in to Wix Stores as an administrator to create the key.

Step 1 — in Wix Stores

1Wix API Keys Manager
2Generate API key (Wix Stores, Contacts: read)
3copy the key and your Site ID.

Least access: grant only the read permissions named above (customers, orders, invoices, bookings or tickets — whichever this connector uses). Never use an owner or full-admin key where Wix Stores lets you create a restricted one.

Step 2 — in Silux Chat

1Open Dashboard → Integrations → Connectors and search for “Wix Stores”.

Fill in:
Field Example Stored
Wix API key •••••••• Encrypted
Site ID •••••••• Encrypted
3Press Connect & test. The platform makes a real, read-only call to Wix Stores with a made-up customer and shows a tick or a cross for each capability, with Wix Stores’s exact error if something is refused.
4If this is your first way of verifying customers it is switched on automatically; otherwise press Use to verify customers. The platform then runs its chained test (verify → code → account → orders → invoices) with the built-in test customer — no real person is contacted.

Field	Example	Stored

You create an API key in Wix Stores and paste it into your dashboard. It is sent in a request header on every call, over HTTPS only.

How customer verification works

STEP 1
Customer asks
They ask about their own account. The bot asks for their full name and their email or mobile, plus one more detail such as their postcode.
STEP 2
Found in Wix Stores
The customer is looked up in Wix Stores by email, then mobile. The surname must match exactly and the first name must match or start with the same letter, plus one more detail.
STEP 3
Code sent
A 6-digit code goes to the mobile Wix Stores holds (by text, when your plan has SMS) or otherwise to the email it holds. The chat never chooses where it goes.
STEP 4
Verified
The customer types the code. It is valid for 10 minutes and five wrong attempts cancel it. The verified session lasts 30 minutes.

If the details don’t match, the customer is told only that they couldn’t be matched — never which detail was wrong. If Wix Stores can’t be reached, the bot says it can’t check accounts right now rather than “no account found”. The bot is blocked in code from reading orders, invoices or bookings until verification succeeds. Full details: Customer identity verification & OTP.

What the bot can and cannot see

Can see (after verification)

Record ID
Name
Email address
Phone / mobile
Postcode
Order number
Order date
Status
Total
Currency

Only these standard fields are mapped from Wix Stores’s responses. Everything else in the response is discarded before the bot sees it.

Never sees

passwords, security answers or login details
records belonging to anyone other than the verified customer
anything outside the fields listed alongside

Security

Keys encrypted at rest
Credentials are stored encrypted, shown only masked after saving, and destroyed — not just hidden — when you disconnect.
Read-only look-ups
Every capability is a look-up. The connector cannot create, change or delete anything in Wix Stores.
HTTPS only
Calls go to the vendor’s HTTPS address, redirects are not followed, and private network addresses are refused.
Injection-safe
Values a customer types are cleaned before they are placed in Wix Stores’s search, and URL-encoded in addresses.
Other customers filtered out
A row that names a different customer’s email is dropped, whatever the vendor’s search returned.
Checked daily
Connections are re-tested every day, and the owner is emailed if a working connection starts failing.

Technical details

For developers and IT teams: the Wix Stores endpoints this connector reads, relative to https://www.wixapis.com. Values in braces come from the settings you enter.

Capability	Request	Standard fields returned
Recognise and verify customers	POST`/contacts/v4/contacts/query`	id, name, email, phone, postcode
Orders and order status	POST`/ecom/v1/orders/search`	order_number, placed, status, total, currency

Test level: Documented-API tested. Each capability is run automatically against Wix Stores’s documented example responses and must produce the standard fields; your own connection is then tested with a real call when you connect. The bot receives these through the standard Account Connect endpoints, exactly as if you had built them yourself.

Troubleshooting

What you see	Likely cause and fix
“the vendor refused the credentials (401)” or (403)	The key was revoked, has expired or was copied incompletely, or it lacks a read permission this connector needs. Create a fresh read-only key in Wix Stores and reconnect.
Customers are “not matched” although they exist	Customers are looked up by email or mobile, not postcode. Check the customer’s email or mobile is saved on their Wix Stores record, and that the surname matches.
A capability shows a cross but others work	That permission wasn’t granted in Wix Stores, or your Wix Stores plan doesn’t include that part of the API. Grant it and press Test.
“the vendor kept rate-limiting the request”	Wix Stores returned “too many requests” three times in a row. The platform already waits and retries automatically (up to 10 seconds, as Wix Stores asks); if it persists, ask Wix Stores about your API quota.
Results are empty for a verified customer	The records exist under a different email or customer record in Wix Stores, or none are recent. Check the customer’s record in Wix Stores directly.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Wix Stores connection read-only?

Yes. Every request Silux Chat makes to Wix Stores is a look-up (a few vendors use POST for searches); none creates, changes or deletes anything in Wix Stores. Give the key or sign-in read-only permissions wherever Wix Stores offers them.

Do I need a developer to connect Wix Stores?

No. You paste the details listed in the set-up steps in Dashboard → Integrations → Connectors and press “Connect & test”. The platform makes a real call to Wix Stores straight away and shows exactly which features work.

How does the bot know it is really my customer?

It finds the customer in Wix Stores by the email or mobile they give, checks their name and one more detail, then sends a one-time code to the mobile or email held in Wix Stores — never to one typed in the chat. The code lasts 10 minutes, five wrong attempts cancel it, and a verified session lasts 30 minutes.

What happens if my Wix Stores key is revoked or expires?

The bot tells customers it can’t check their account right now — it never pretends there are “no orders”. Connections are re-tested daily and the account owner is emailed when a working connection starts failing. Reconnect it in Dashboard → Integrations → Connectors.

How has the Wix Stores connector been tested?

It is Documented-API tested: every capability is run automatically against Wix Stores’s documented example responses and must produce the standard fields. When you connect, it is tested again with a real call to your own Wix Stores account before your bot uses it.
