Wix.com continues mobile expansion with acquisition of app builder Appixia

Cloud-based web development platform Wix.com has announced its acquisition of Appixia, a platform for building native mCommerce apps. By joining forces, the two companies will allow businesses and individuals to build their online presence using the pair’s tools for creating native mobile applications. Wix launched its mobile adaptive solution last year, and now, over 30,000 new mobile sites are created by Wix users each day.

Appixia helps retailers build native mobile apps, complete with features including push notifications, barcode scanning, geolocation services and credit card scanning.
