The backlink to the domain you purchased is connected to https://mysite.com/ , which does not use WWW.

I created a website, and the website I created uses WWW. (I use Wix web editor)

When I search for my domain in Ahrefs, the backlink of the domain with WWW is zero.

There are still many backlinks in domains without WWW.

Is it correct that my website also removes and uses WWW or does it matter?

What you mean? In wordpress its an administrative choice, between showing the www or not. It doesn't really affect anything. It might be just eh same somewhere in wix dashboard. Also you shouldn't be searching for your domain in ahrefs, you should add your site to free ahrefs webmaster, and benefit from traffic analysis and SEO data.
 
I'm using Wix. I've used WordPress, of course, so I know that the administrator can choose from it. But this time, I decided to use Wix, and the administrator can't set it up for that part.
If use WIX, must use WWW.
 
Hey buddy, that's a typical problem! WWW and non-WWW are treated as separate entities unless properly redirected. You are essentially dividing SEO power if your live site is WWW but your backlinks refer to the non-WWW version. The best course of action? To ensure that all link juice goes to one version, set up a 301 redirect from non-WWW to WWW (or vice versa). This should be simple to configure in Wix's domain settings. If you maintain consistency, Ahrefs will display your backlinks correctly.
 
If you enter my domain URL without WWW, it will redirect you to the URL where WWW is. But I'm wondering if this has a bad effect on the SEO or if I can't get the backlink positive effect of the domain I bought.

It matters. You should pick either www or non-www and set a redirect so all traffic and link juice go to one version. In your case, since backlinks point to non-www, it's better to remove www and redirect www to non-www to keep SEO value.

If connect a link that doesn't have WWW, will be redirected to the link that has WWW. Will this fix the problem?

Not fix your problem. Wix doesn't have .htaacsses control. You can just do html redirect or js redirect. And that won't solve your problem.
 
This not big deal bro!!! Backlinks to www and non-www are seen as different by tools like Ahrefs. If you use www make sure your non-www version redirects to www. That way, all backlinks count for your site. Check Wix settings to confirm your preferred domain and redirects are set. Don't be panic!
