Troubleshooting
App Market not loading or showing errors
Refresh your browser page and try again. Clear your browser cache and cookies, or try using a different browser. Check your internet connection stability.
Cannot find a specific app in the market
Try different search terms or browse relevant categories. Some apps may have been removed or are region-specific. Check if you're searching with the correct app name or developer.
App installed but not appearing on website
Check if you've published your site after adding the app. Verify the app is placed on the correct page and not hidden behind other elements. Some apps require additional configuration before they become visible.
Payment issues when installing paid apps
Verify your payment method is valid and has sufficient funds. Check if your account has the necessary permissions for purchases. Contact Wix support if payment continues to fail despite valid payment information.
