The video introduces Wix's Velo (Developer Mode) as a comprehensive JavaScript‑based toolkit that lets site owners extend Wix beyond its standard features. It explains that Velo provides front‑end APIs for custom interactions and animations, back‑end APIs for deeper app functionality such as custom pre‑checkout pop‑ups, and easy integration with third‑party services like Stripe, Twilio, and Google. The presenter showcases example use cases—including a product configurator and custom visitor experiences—then points viewers to learning resources (API reference, code examples, forum) and the option to hire certified Velo developers via the Partners menu. The tone is conversational and enthusiastic, encouraging viewers to dive in and start building.

Hey there. Welcome to WIX Developer Mode, AKA Velo. If you found me, you're probably looking to add that extra something to your website. You're in the right place. First things first. What is Velo? Velo is your complete toolkit for creating the custom functionality you want on your Wix site. Using JavaScript, Velo lets you go beyond Wix's out of the box features to get a better sense of what you can really do with it. I'll show you some of my favorite examples. Lots of site owners use Velo to create a unique visitor experience. With built in front end APIs, you can use event handling and create endless custom interactions and animations. Velo lets you expand the capabilities of your wix apps like adding a custom product configurator to your store that lets site visitors design their own products. You also have the backend APIs that let you customize functionality of your Wix apps themselves so you can create a custom pre checkout pop up for example. Plus you can integrate third party services you already enjoy like Stripe, Twilio and Google. Pretty sweet right? Now that you know what Velo's all about, go ahead and dive in. We've got plenty of resources on the Velo website to help you out along the way, such as the Velo API reference code examples and our forum. If you don't want to get your hands dirty, you can always hire a developer to help you out. Go to the Partners menu and click Hire Developer to learn about how our certified Velo experts can help you achieve your vision. So that's it from me. Happy coding and I'll catch you in the next Velo video.
