No server-side cart or checkout. Orders only come from the browser widget.\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### Snipcart API + MCP\n\n1. Use the agent for back-office jobs (orders, refunds, discounts, stock, abandoned carts), not for placing orders\n2. Start with a test-mode key (ST_ prefix) before switching to live (SL_)\n3. Send the key in X-Snipcart-Api-Key. OAuth-only clients can't connect\n4. Stay under 100 MCP requests a minute and 10 in flight per key\n5. Ignore unknown response fields. Snipcart adds fields without a new version\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, Snipcart API + MCP or Wix Stores and eCommerce API?\n\nWix Stores and eCommerce API scores 61.4 (C) on agent readiness against Snipcart API + MCP's 40.8 (E), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories.
