Wix: install a container (with a tracking code)

If you’re running your website on Wix, you can quickly add the Piwik PRO container and start collecting visitor data. First, you’ll need to add a site or app to Piwik PRO. Next, add our container code as custom code on Wix.

In this article, we’ll walk you through the process step-by-step.

Add a site in Piwik PRO

To add a site in Piwik PRO, follow these steps:

1. Go to Menu > Administration.
2. Navigate to Sites & apps.
3. Click Add a site or app.
4. Type the site or app name and address and click Save.

   

   Note: If you want to track a few domains with the same tracking code, add their addresses.

5. Set the time zone and currency.

   

   Note: We’ll show data in reports in this time zone. We’ll use this currency for goal revenue.

6. Navigate to Installation.
7. In Sites, click Install manually.
8. In Basic container (async), click Copy to clipboard.

   

   Note: This container holds your tracking code and is used to handle most tags. Always install this container.

Install a container on a Wix site

To install the Piwik PRO container on a Wix site, follow these steps:

4. Click + Add Custom Code in the upper right corner.

   

5. In Body – start, click Add Code.

   

6. Paste the Piwik PRO’s container code.
