You heard it here first! Wix Arena will now be called Wix Marketplace. You will see the name change starting tomorrow.

Name change sounds awesome! Wondering if there will be more information surrounding joining the Wix Marketplace. Joining the Arena has been down for some time now, and Im wondering if it will open back up with the new name change. Fingers crossed

Hope this marketplace will not be opened for anyone who thinks could be a partner. My business is real and growing thanks to this Arena Partner and hope to not have more competitors who will come to marketplace close to my location

This is the arena: we are just renaming it.

Love the new name! cant wait to be able to join!

Great name and far more descriptive than Arena which most people could not understand what is actually about. Great job guys!

Well, that’s great and I like the name change. Although, what I don’t like is for the arena to still be closed. And I don’t like it because I could set my own profile instead of been forced to offer my services to other agencies that are in the arena instead to clients directly. I mean it has been closed for more than 2 years if I am not mistaken and I’m still getting the same answer, “arena is closed”!

The name sounds good but as long as you will keep sending the leads to more than one expert at a time, the Marketplace is opened for those that call themselves “experts” and offer a site for few 100’s or even 10’s of dollars and it not only not helping us but destroy our business
Me and many of my collogues here in Israel found it a waist of time and effort and don’t use it at all
We all agree that the main issue is that WIX sends the request to multiple partners at the same time and anyone that had creates more than 5-10 “Sites” regardless of his level of expertise is considered to be an expert q partner

Steven’s words are my words too!! But I expect more than Arena. 2018’s Summit here in Brazil, I remember asking about Wix’s marketplace solutions. So I hope it could be also a new model for us who are searching/thinking new business tools and solutions for our websites.:grinning:

Little sad to say bye to the brand name I was being with for past 11 years as a Wix Partner. But the new name looks that it will be much easier to understand the platform for most of the Wix users. So welcome the new name!!! :blush:

Wait is the app section not called “market” and several places called app marketplace. Think the SEO of this will be quite confused. Never liked there is an “app market” name but this seems a bit like over using the “market” term.
“If you just go to your editor and find the app you want on the market you can then go to the marketplace and find a partner that can help you implement the app from the market correctly and set it up”.

I do think it should be called marketplace but you just already have something using that termanologi.

Hey :slight_smile: marketplace is a term used quite a bit in the tech world to describe different things - ultimately it sends the right message on both ends - a place where you can purchase a service or good. Thanks for your feedback :slight_smile:

The name is perfect!
In my opinion, the request should be handled better. I receive many requests from clients who never respond to emails. Many of them think that the service is free.

I agree with you. Because I experience the same here.

@brett Are there any badge for Wix Partners? I want to put on my website footer or header or some pages.
