Build direct links into a site’s Wix dashboard (manage.wix.com). This is the shared contract; per-business-solution recipes list the actual page routes.
Every dashboard page lives under:
https://manage.wix.com/dashboard/{metaSiteId}/{route}{metaSiteId} — the site’s meta site ID: the id returned by the Query Sites API, and the siteId in a CLI project’s wix.config.json.{route} — {appSlug}/{pagePath}. Each Wix app owns a URL namespace (its slug) and registers pages under it, e.g. bookings/services, wix-stores/products.Useful properties of these URLs:
App-ID fallback. https://manage.wix.com/dashboard/{metaSiteId}/app/{appDefinitionId}/{pagePath} always works and redirects to the slug form. With no pagePath it lands on the app’s main dashboard page, so knowing just the app ID is enough for a working link:
https://manage.wix.com/dashboard/{metaSiteId}/app/13d21c63-b5ec-5912-8397-c3a5ddb27a97
→ redirects to .../bookings (the Wix Bookings main page)To get an app’s appDefinitionId, use List Installed Apps (GET /apps-installer-service/v1/app-instances returns each installed app’s ID and name), or take it from the per-solution recipe — each leaf states its apps’ IDs.
Graceful degradation. Unknown deeper paths fall back to the longest matching route (.../bookings/services/unknown lands on the services list), so links don’t 404.
Legacy redirects. Older route formats (e.g. store/orders, bookings/scheduler/owner/...) redirect to the current pages; links in existing content keep working.
Entity deep links. Pages that show a single entity accept the entity ID as an extra path segment (e.g. bookings/services/form/{serviceId}). Query params can follow.
Permissions. The dashboard enforces its own login and per-page permissions; links just navigate.
Site vs account pages. Most pages are site-scoped (the /dashboard/{metaSiteId}/... form above). Some solutions also have account-level pages that apply to the whole Wix account and take no metaSiteId: https://manage.wix.com/account/{route} — e.g. account/websites (My Sites), account/domains (My Domains). The per-solution recipes say which is which.

For a business solution not listed yet, use the app-ID fallback URL with the solution’s app definition ID, or link the dashboard home: https://manage.wix.com/dashboard/{metaSiteId}/home.
routes.json (opens in a new tab) holds the full page inventory behind these recipes — every covered app with its appDefinitionId, slug, and per page: path (append to https://manage.wix.com/dashboard/{metaSiteId}/), title, inSidebar, redirecting legacyAliases, and — where the page shows a single entity — deepLink with the ID placeholder (bookings/services/form/{serviceId}). Prefer the per-solution recipes for guidance (curation, entity deep links, read-API pairing); use the JSON to look up or enumerate routes programmatically:
curl -s https://www.wix.com/skills/manage/references/dashboard-navigation/routes.json# All user-facing pages of an app
jq -r '.apps[] | select(.app == "Wix Bookings") | .pages[] | select(.inSidebar) | .path' routes.json
# Find the page for a concept ("invoice") across all apps
jq -r '.apps[].pages[] | select(.title | test("invoice"; "i")) | .path' routes.json
# Entity deep link: fetch the pattern, substitute the ID, prepend the base
jq -r '.apps[].pages[] | select(.deepLink) | .deepLink' routes.json | grep productId
# → wix-stores/products/product/{productId}
# → https://manage.wix.com/dashboard/{metaSiteId}/wix-stores/products/product/8a12...
# Where does an old link land now?
jq -r '.apps[].pages[] | select(.legacyAliases | index("store/orders")) | .path' routes.json
