Building your site with Wix Headless? You can add a GDPR-ready cookie popup with Smart Cookie Popup, without writing any code for the banner. A Wix Headless site has no editor, so you can't drag the app onto a page. Instead, you install the app on the site and turn the popup on in its dashboard. The quickest way to install it is with an AI assistant that is connected to Wix.
What you need
- A Wix Headless site. For example a site built with Wix's Astro integration, or a static site uploaded to Wix.
- An AI assistant with a Wix connection, such as Claude with the Wix connector (Settings → Connectors → Wix).
- A Wix account with access to the site. Sign in with that account when you connect Wix to your assistant.
Step 1: Install Smart Cookie Popup with an AI assistant
- Open a new chat in your AI assistant.
- Copy the prompt below and replace [your site] with the name or address of your Wix Headless site.
- Paste the prompt and send it. The assistant finds your site, installs the app and checks that it is installed.
- Wait until the assistant confirms the installation.
Install the Smart Cookie Popup app on my Wix Headless site [your site].
App ID: ea171857-c45d-4dfe-889c-e05e8e9a7662
Use the Wix Apps Installer API to install it, then check that it appears in the site's installed apps and tell me if it worked.The prompt includes the app ID of Smart Cookie Popup. With the ID, the assistant installs exactly this app instead of searching the App Market, where it could pick a different cookie app with a similar name.
Step 2: Turn on the cookie popup
Open your site's dashboard in Wix, go to Smart Cookie Popup and turn the popup on. From then on it loads on the pages of your headless site by itself: you don't add any code to your project.
Next, set up the texts, colours and cookie categories of your popup. Getting Started With: Smart Cookie Popup for Wix walks you through the settings.
Step 3: Check your site
Open your site in a private browser window. The cookie popup appears on the first visit. Changes in the Wix dashboard can take up to 10 minutes to show up on your site.
Hosting your headless frontend yourself?
On a self-managed headless project, your pages need Wix's site script: one script tag that loads the scripts of your Wix project, such as analytics, the consent policy and app scripts. Sites built with Wix's Astro integration and static sites uploaded to Wix already include it. See Load Site Scripts on a Self-Managed Project in the Wix docs.
