What's Been Happening on Wix? 🎉

Okay, buckle up because Wix has been absolutely CRUSHING it this month! From launching certification programs to releasing AI-powered tools and forming strategic partnerships, they're not holding back. Let's break it down:

The Studio League is Here! 🏆✨

This is HUGE! Wix officially launched their new certification program, and guess what? We're part of it! 🎉

Web design and developer certification badge

Here's the cool part - no tests, no applications, no jumping through hoops. Wix scouts millions of Studio creators monthly to find experts with outstanding skill and professionalism, then welcomes them into The Studio League with those shiny badges everyone's talking about! 🏅

It's pure recognition for the incredible work creators are already doing, and honestly, seeing the community get the recognition they deserve is pretty amazing!

AI Visibility Overview - Know Your AI Footprint 🤖

Here's something that's going to be ESSENTIAL for modern businesses: understanding how your site performs on AI platforms. Wix's new AI Visibility Overview gives you a comprehensive look at your site's visibility across major AI platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude.

Think about it - when someone asks ChatGPT about products in your industry, does your site get mentioned? This tool lets you track how often your site is mentioned and cited in AI responses, compare yourself to competitors, and even monitor traffic coming from AI platforms.

This is basically Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) in action! In a world where AI is becoming the new search engine, understanding your AI footprint is absolute gold! ⭐ We're actually working on some exciting GEO resources - check out what's coming!

Multi-Currency Support Finally Here! 💱

This is MASSIVE for e-commerce sites! Wix just rolled out Multi-Currency support, and it's exactly what we've all been waiting for. Let customers view prices AND pay in their local currency - not just display conversion rates!

For example, if your site's main currency is US dollars, customers can now complete their entire purchase in Euros, Yen, or whatever currency makes them comfortable. This removes a huge barrier for international sales and could seriously boost your conversion rates! 💰

Wix Standalone Forms Beta - Forms Without Websites! 📝

whaHere's a birthday RSVP form we created with a single prompt!

This one's pretty wild! Wix just dropped Standalone Forms in beta, and it's exactly what it sounds like - custom forms that don't need a website. Powered by AI, you can literally describe what you need, and the form gets generated for you.

What makes this special:

• AI generates forms based on your description 🧠

• Customize with themes, brand fonts, and colors 🎨

• Users can fill forms the classic way OR via chat and voice with AI 🗣️

• All responses go directly to Wix CRM 📊

• Share with a single unique URL 🔗

This is perfect for agencies managing multiple clients or anyone who needs quick data collection without building entire pages. Game-changer alert! 🚨

Not only that but users can also fill out the form by answering conversational AI generated questions!

This is the first question in the Birthday RSVP form we created

Major Partnership Alert: Wix + Alibaba.com 🌍

This is business news that's going to impact EVERYONE! Wix and Alibaba.com just announced a strategic partnership that's all about empowering SMEs to expand globally.

Here's what this means: Wix merchants can now expand their global wholesale capabilities through Alibaba.com, while Alibaba.com merchants can establish robust D2C and B2B storefronts powered by Wix's commerce infrastructure. We're talking about seamless global trade across over 200 countries and regions! 🌎

Forms App Transition - Important Changes! ⚠️

Quick heads up! As of August 1st, the Old Wix Forms and Payments app is no longer available in the Studio Editor's 'Add' panel. Don't panic, though - existing forms will continue working perfectly fine. The updated Wix Forms app is taking its place with broader features and ongoing support.

Developer Goodies 👨‍💻

For all the developers out there, here are some exciting updates:

Webhook Triggers for Automations - Connect external systems to client sites with webhook triggers. Create automations that trigger whenever your external system sends a webhook, passing real-time data into Wix. Automation magic! ✨

New API Releases 🔧

The API releases keep coming! Here are the latest additions to the Wix developer toolkit:

• Wix Emails Sender Details API - Better email management capabilities

• Payments Site Payment Method Types API - More control over payment options

• Rich Content Ricos Documents API - Enhanced content management

• Restaurants Reservations API (new methods) - Expanded reservation functionality

• TXT File Server Robots Txt API - Better SEO control

What This Means for You 💭

The Studio League launch signals that Wix is serious about recognizing and elevating their creator community. If you're doing great work, keep it up - recognition might be coming your way! 🏆

The AI Visibility Overview is going to be crucial for SEO and digital marketing strategies. Understanding your AI footprint is the new understanding of your Google ranking. Start paying attention to how AI platforms reference your content!

Standalone Forms opens up new possibilities for quick data collection and client work. No more building entire pages just to collect information - this is efficiency at its finest! ⚡

The Alibaba partnership is MASSIVE for e-commerce. If you're working with clients who want to expand globally or source products internationally, this integration is going to be a game-changer.

For developers, the CLI improvements and new APIs mean more powerful tools and smoother workflows. The webhook triggers especially open up incredible automation possibilities - imagine the time you'll save! 🕒

Looking Ahead

Don't miss our free workshop on August 13th - "Dynamic Data Made Easy – Search, Filters & Repeaters in Wix". We're going to dive deep into building data-driven sites that actually work, and everyone gets a free gift just for showing up! 🎁

Expect tutorials covering the new APIs, especially diving deeper into the AI Visibility Overview and how to leverage it for a better online presence. We're also planning content around the Studio League and what it means for the Wix community.

With all these new tools and features, the possibilities for what you can build on Wix are expanding rapidly. It's an exciting time to be part of this ecosystem! 🚀

Remember, every breakthrough feature started as someone's wild idea, and every AI revolution began with a simple "what if we could just talk to computers?" 🤖
