How to accept payments with Wix

To accept payments through your Wix site, you need to connect a payment provider. Wix's own payment solution, Wix Payments, is an easy and convenient option. It allows you to manage everything directly from your Wix dashboard. Accepting payments on your Wix website is straightforward, but it starts with having a published site that has a Premium plan with the necessary functionality installed.

Steps to Accept Payments with Wix

Here are the general steps to accept payments with Wix:

Gather Your Required Documents

When setting up payments, Wix (and its payment providers) will require certain documents to verify your identity and business. Before you start, make sure you have:

• Front and back copy of your driver’s license

• A copy of your bank statement

• Proof of business, such as an EIN letter (if applicable)

  
  

Navigate to Wix settings > Accept Payments

Go to Settings in Your Wix Dashboard

Eligibility Questions for Payment Setup

You’ll be asked questions about your business to confirm eligibility for Wix Payments. If your business does not qualify, Wix will match you with the most suitable payment provider. This includes reviewing the restricted products list and confirming whether your business sells any restricted items.

Verification Process

After your first payment is accepted through Wix, the verification process begins. Wix may request additional business documents and can ask for any of the required items during this stage.

Payments can be accepted while the account is under review, but payouts will remain on hold until approval is complete. A Wix representative may reach out by email for more information. It’s important to provide any requested documents promptly to avoid delays.
