< Back Managing your business Business solutions & apps Wix Stores: Notifying Customers when Products Are Back in Stock When a product is out of stock, you can notify customers as soon as it's available again. This helps you capture sales that might otherwise be lost and keeps customers engaged with your store. For example, if a popular item sells out quickly, your customers can sign up to be informed when it's restocked, ensuring they don't miss the chance to buy it. Note: Collecting customer requests, and sending automated notifications to customers, are enabled separately. Video tutorial Check out this short video tutorial, or scroll down to read the full article. Collecting customer requests Enable customer requests so that your customers can let you know they're interested in an out-of-stock item. Once enabled, every time a customer requests to be notified, the following happens: The "Add to Cart" button changes to "Notify When Available" when an product is out of stock. You get an email notification. The request appears in the Back in Stock Requests tab in your site's dashboard. The customer gets notified when the item is back in stock (unless you didn't activate this option). To start collecting customer requests: Go to the Back in Stock Requests tab in your site's dashboard. Click Start Collecting Requests .

< Back Connecting a domain Managing domains Managing DNS Records in Your Wix Account Domain Name System (DNS) records are instructions that tell the internet where to find your website. A DNS record links easy-to-read domain names (like your site's web address) to information that your computer can read (like your site's unique IP address). You might need to update DNS records if you change your website host or set up new email accounts. Add, edit or delete your domain's DNS records from the Domains section of your Wix account. You can manage all of the records for your domain, including A records, CNAME records, TXT records, and more. Important: If your domain is connected to Wix via pointing , or if you use custom nameservers, you must manage your DNS records with your DNS provider or domain host (not Wix). Managing your DNS records Go to Domains in your Wix account. Click the Domain Actions icon next to the relevant domain. Click Manage DNS records . Choose what you want to do: Add a record Scroll to the record type you'd like to add (e.g. CNAME, TXT) and click + Add Record . Enter the DNS record in the relevant fields. Tip: If you're instructed to create a DNS record with the @ sign in the Host Name field, leave the Host Name field blank instead. Click Save . Click Save Changes in the pop-up message. Edit a record Hover over the DNS record you need to edit and click Edit . Edit the DNS record. Tip: If you're instructed to create a DNS record with the @ sign in the Host Name field, leave the Host Name field blank instead. Click Save . Delete a record Click the More Actions icon to the right of the record you'd like to delete. Click Delete . Note: Deleting your domain's default A or CNAME records may cause your site to go offline. Click Delete Record in the pop-up. FAQs Click below for answers to common questions about managing your DNS records. What are the different DNS records and what do they do? A records: Used to map a domain (e.g. mywebsite.com) or a sub-domain (e.g. blog.mywebsite.com) to an IP address. CNAME records: Also known as canonical name records, these are used to create aliases that point to other names. They are commonly used to map WWW, FTP and MAIL sub-domains to a domain. Note: Your A and CNAME records are essential for keeping your domain connected to your site. MX records: Mail Exchange (MX) records control which mail server your domain uses to receive email, and ensures that you receive emails properly. TXT records: TXT (text) records are used to provide textual information about a domain (like the name of the host and contact details) to external sources. They are also used to provide information to the SPF email authentication system. SPF records: Sender Policy Framework (SPF) is an email validation system designed to prevent email spam by verifying sender IP addresses. SPF records specify which hosts are allowed to send mail from a given domain. SRV records: Also known as service records, these are responsible for localizing specific domain-related services such as FTP, HTTP, and SIP. NS records: Define which nameservers contain the DNS records for a domain. Can I update the NS records for a Wix domain? Yes. If your host does not support connection via pointing, or requires you to change your domain’s nameservers, you can use custom nameservers instead. When you switch to custom nameservers, your domain stays registered with Wix, but Wix no longer manages your domain's DNS. Learn more about changing nameserver records for a Wix Domain . My domain is pointing to Wix. Can I update my DNS records at Wix? No. If your domain is connected to Wix via pointing, you must update your DNS records with your domain host (not Wix). Can I reset my A and CNAME records to their default values? Yes. If you've previously edited your domain's A and CNAME records (for example, in order to point your domain to an external site), you can reset those records to their default values . What does "Hostname already in use" mean? A host name is a specific name assigned to a device within a network. If you see a Hostname already in use error when updating your records, there may be another record added elsewhere that uses the same host name. You should remove the other record if it's not required. You can also ask your service provider to provide you with a different hostname. Before removing a record, make sure that you're not using any other services that use the host name. Note: The "www" host name is reserved for connecting a Wix site only. For example, if your mailbox provider asks you to add a CNAME record using the www host name, you will see the Hostname already in use error. You can request an alternative host name from your mailbox provider in this case. What is TTL? Time to live (TTL) is a setting that tells servers how long to store a DNS record locally before requesting a new one. It works like an expiration timer for your DNS record. Changing the TTL value does not speed up the time it takes for a DNS record to propagate. It only changes how long cached DNS information is stored before a new DNS request is made. We recommend leaving the TTL setting for your DNS records at the default value.

< Back Managing your business Business solutions & apps Wix Stores: SEO for Category Pages Important: This article is about the new version of product categories. If your category creation page doesn't have SEO settings, you have the previous version. Learn more about the previous version of Wix Stores categories. Each category page has its own URL (e.g. www.mysite/category/shirts). This helps search engines understand what you're selling and how your site is organized, making it more SEO friendly. You can further optimize the SEO settings for your store's category pages to help get your store found online. Note: Changes you make to SEO settings do not appear immediately in search results. To help changes appear faster, you can submit your sitemap to Google . Optimizing your title tags, meta descriptions, and URL slugs Category pages, like other site pages, include a title tag, meta description, and URL slug to help search engines and social networks show relevant information. There are default SEO settings that Wix automatically adds to your category pages: Title tag: The category name and site name Meta description: The first approx. 160 characters of the category description URL slug (ending of the category page URL): The category name To edit the category page's SEO settings: Go to Categories in the dashboard. Select the category you want to edit. Click Edit SEO Settings under Marketing & SEO . Edit any of the following: Title tag: Add a title that summarizes what the category is. We recommend giving concise category names (maximum 60 characters) that help potential customers understand the category. Meta description: Add a short description of your category (maximum 156 characters). This description helps users who read the description in search engine results decide if the page is relevant to them. URL Slug: This text is the last part of your page's direct link. You should only change this if it's necessary to reflect the content of your page. We recommend keeping it short and easy to read. Tip: When you change a Category Page URL slug, make sure manually create your own redirect so the previous link redirects to the new one. Click Save . Preventing search engines from indexing the page In most cases, you'll want search engines to index your shop's categories and display them in search results, however, you may want to hide specific ones. For example, if you display a category only on a password-protected page that isn't available to the general public, you may not want it to appear in search engine results. To prevent search engines from indexing the category page: Go to Categories in the dashboard. Click the category you want to edit. Click Edit SEO Settings under Marketing & SEO . Disable the Let search engines index this page toggle. Managing canonical URLs The URL for each category page is automatically generated according to the category name. In addition, you can edit a category's URL slug (see above). The canonical URL is a meta tag that defines the primary URL of a given page. In other words, if there are multiple versions of your page's URL, this meta tag tells search engines which version they should index and show to potential site visitors. Learn more about canonical tags . Wix automatically creates a default canonical URL for all of your pages. You can customize it in the Advanced tab. To edit the category page's canonical URL: Go to Categories in the dashboard. Click the category you want to edit. Click Edit SEO Settings under Marketing & SEO . Click Advanced . Click Additional tags . Click the Edit icon next to canonical . Enter the URL in the text box under Tag value . Click the Checkmark icon . Click Save .

Choose a card size under Select card size . Add a title under x:title . Add a description under x:description . Adding additional meta tags Meta tags are snippets of HTML code that describe your page’s content. While not visible on the page itself, they appear in the code and tell search engines how to display the page in search results. Wix automatically adds all the required meta tags to your categories based on common SEO best practices. Some examples of these are your category's title tag and your category's meta description. You can add your own meta tags if required. Important: You can only use the following tag types: and . You can add up to 10 tags, but can't add a meta tag that Wix already created for you .

To remove the video completely, click the Remove icon . Designing your header Once you’ve chosen the perfect background, take your header’s design even further with a few creative touches. Add borders, play with corners, adjust spacing, and layer in shadows to make your header truly stand out. To design your header: Go to your editor . Select the header. Click the All design options icon on the action bar. Choose how to design your header: Borders : Define the borders of your header so it stands out, choosing a color, width and style. Corners : Make the corners of your header more square or round by dragging the slider under Radius. Click the Edit individual corners icon to design each corner separately. Shadow : Apply inner and outer shadow to give your header an interesting 3D effect, setting the position, blurriness, color and more. Spacing : Drag the slider to add space between the header and the edges of the screen. Click the Edit individual sides icon to only add padding to specific sides. Resize your header: Drag the handle to change the header's height. If there's a lot of blank space at the bottom of the header, double-click the handle to remove this space. Adjusting the header behavior Choose whether your header overlaps the next section or stays separate. Overlapping creates a modern, layered effect, while keeping sections apart gives everything a crisp, classic feel. Pick the style that best fits your site’s personality. Then, bring your header to life with a scroll effect that matches the flow of your site. Choose whether your header moves with the page, stays visible for easy access, or disappears and fades out as visitors scroll. Each effect creates a different navigation experience for your visitors. To adjust the header behavior: Go to your editor . Click the header. Click Change Behavior on the action bar. Click the toggle next to Overlap next section : Enabled: The header sits above the next section with a clear separation between them. Disabled: The header floats over the top of the next section, creating a layered look where content appears behind your header. Choose a scroll effect: Move with page: No scroll effect is applied. When visitors scroll down the page, they also scroll away from the header (i.e. the top of the page). Note: This option is disabled when setting the header to overlap with the next section. Stay fixed: The header stays at the top of the page as visitors scroll up and down, giving them easy access to your site's menu. Disappear: When visitors scroll through the page, the header gradually disappears. When visitors start scrolling up, the header appears again. Fade out: The header slowly fades out when your visitors scroll through the page and reappears when they start scrolling back to the top. (Optional) Preview your page to see the effect in action.

If you prefer, you can move an element back to the header by right-clicking it and selecting Move to Header . Can I add multiple menus to my header? For your visitors to get the smoothest navigation experience, your header can only show a single menu. If needed, you can always add menus to other sections of your site, including the footer.

< Back Need more help? Solving performance and technical issues Site Performance: CMS Improving your site's performance is essential for providing a smooth user experience. By optimizing how your CMS (Content Management System) datasets load and display content, you can enhance page speed and usability. Click below for more info on improving your site's performance when using the CMS: Adjust the 'Items per load' dataset setting You can change the Items per load field in your dataset settings to control the number of items that load at a time in repeaters and galleries. This helps you: Load your page faster with fewer items on the initial load. Reduce the number of larger items. Enhance your page's design. Learn more about limiting the maximum items displayed per load . Add a 'Load More' button or pagination bar to repeaters and galleries When displaying a lot of content on data-bound elements, you can limit the number of items loaded at once. Consider adding a 'Load more' button or a pagination bar to load one batch of items at a time. A good practice is to show up to 10 items with each new load. Select the 'Fetch after the page loads' dataset setting If your connected repeaters or galleries contain a lot of content or connect to a large collection, consider using a deferred dataset . The dataset's data is fetched only after the rest of the page has finished loading. This means the initial rendering of the page will not be blocked by this dataset, making the page load faster. This option is recommended when elements displaying the data are not initially visible, such as when they require scrolling into view or opening a section. Go to the dataset settings and select the Fetch after the page loads checkbox to make it a deferred dataset. Notes: This option is available for regular datasets, but not for dynamic page datasets. Make sure to enable coding to use this feature. Select the 'Fetch only connected fields' dataset setting To enhance site performance, you can now use the Fetch only connected fields dataset setting. This allows you to load only the fields that are actively connected to the components on your page, excluding any disconnected fields and data accessed by code. This setting is beneficial for improving loading times, especially on complex pages. Notes: This option is available for regular datasets, but not for dynamic page datasets. Make sure to enable coding to use this feature. Displaying content linked to your dataset If you have content in your collection that isn’t needed on your page, you can prevent it from displaying. Add a filter to the dataset to include or exclude items that from displaying on the connected elements. You can also control live site visibility from within your CMS collections by setting items to 'Visible' or 'Hidden' statuses. Using coding on your site?
