Velo Development (Wix Code)

Velo (previously Corvid) is Wix's built-in JavaScript development environment. With Velo we add custom logic, external API integrations, custom database collections and dynamic pages to Wix sites — turning a template editor into a real application platform.

Why this matters
  • Custom REST integrations (CRM, ERP, payment providers)
  • Dynamic pages driven by Wix Data collections
  • Server-side functions with npm packages
  • Custom form logic, gated content and members areas
  • Scheduled jobs (Wix Jobs) for automations

What you can build with Velo

Velo unlocks real product features on Wix: multi-step booking flows, quote calculators, member portals, custom checkouts, third-party API integrations and A/B tests. It's how Wix stops being 'just a template' and starts being a lightweight application platform.

Velo vs headless — how we advise clients

Velo shines when the core site should stay editable in Wix but a specific feature needs code. If more than 40 percent of your build is custom logic, we usually recommend a headless approach (Next.js + Wix Headless or a different CMS) rather than fighting the editor.

Custom JS Wix Data Backend functions Scheduled jobs External API
