Understanding Wix Transaction and Payment Processing Fees

One of the most appealing aspects of selling on Wix is that the platform itself does not charge any additional transaction fees on your sales. This sets Wix apart from competitors like Shopify (which charges 0.5% to 2% transaction fees) and BigCommerce (1.5% to 2.2%).

Payment Processing Fees

While Wix doesn't add transaction fees, you will still pay standard payment processing fees when using Wix Payments:

Online Transactions: 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction in the US

In-Person Payments (POS): 2.6% per transaction

These are industry-standard rates comparable to what you'd pay with processors like Stripe or PayPal directly.

Key Advantages

The absence of additional platform transaction fees means you keep more of your revenue. For example, on a $100 sale through Wix Payments, you'd pay $3.20 in processing fees, whereas on some Shopify plans, you'd pay both the processing fee plus an additional transaction fee.

Important Considerations

• Wix Payments is only available on Business and higher-tier plans
• If you choose to use third-party payment gateways instead of Wix Payments, their standard processing fees apply, but Wix still won't charge an additional transaction fee
• Processing fees are not refunded when you issue a customer refund

Bottom Line

Wix's fee structure is straightforward and competitive: you pay only the standard payment processing fee of 2.9% + $0.30 per online transaction, with no hidden platform fees eating into your profits. This transparent pricing makes it easier to calculate your actual costs and margins when running an online store.
