Tokens never expire, there is no test mode or idempotency key, API access needs a paid plan, and carts are built only in the browser.\n\n**Wix Stores and eCommerce API.** The developer docs are served as Markdown with an llms.txt index, and API keys carry permission scopes and a site restriction. No numeric REST rate limit or OpenAPI file was found, and status.wix.com records a platform-wide incident of 3 hours 17 minutes on 1 August 2026. A person must create the account and the key.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Ecwid by Lightspeed\n\n1. Send the token as `Authorization: Bearer` to `https://app.ecwid.com/api/v3/{storeId}`. Tokens in the query string stopped working in March 2025\n2. Use the secret token server-side only. The public token reads enabled products and places orders that are not marked paid\n3. Add `responseFields`, for example `total,items(id,name,price)`, to keep responses small, and page with `offset` and `limit` (maximum 100)\n4. Stay under 600 requests a minute per token and wait the `Retry-After` seconds on a 429. Repeated calls with a bad token get the token and IP blocked for longer\n5. Work in a separate test store. There is no test mode, and `POST /orders` writes a real order with no idempotency key\n6. After changing an app's scopes, uninstall and reinstall it, then replace the stored tokens. The old ones stop working\n\n### Wix Stores and eCommerce API\n\n1. Send the API key in `Authorization` with `wix-site-id` for site calls or `wix-account-id` for account calls, never both\n2. Fetch the product first and pass `product.revision` on every Catalogue V3 update, or the call fails with 409\n3. Use Cart V2 for new work. The older eCommerce Cart and Checkout APIs were deprecated on 5 August 2026\n4. Request `cursorPaging.limit` of at most 100 on Query Products and use Search Products for lookups by name\n5. Over MCP, read the method page with `ReadFullDocsArticle` before `CallWixSiteAPI`. Responses are cut at 50,000 characters by default\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Ecwid by Lightspeed or Wix Stores and eCommerce API?\n\nEcwid by Lightspeed scores 63.2 (B) on agent readiness against Wix Stores and eCommerce API's 61.4 (C), and leads in 1 of 7 scored categories.
