What are the transaction fees and payment processing charges for selling on Wix?

One of the most appealing aspects of selling on Wix is that the platform itself does not charge additional transaction fees on your sales. This sets Wix apart from some competitors that add a percentage-based platform fee on top of standard payment processing.

Payment Processing Fees

While Wix doesn't add its own transaction fee, you still pay standard payment processing fees when using Wix Payments. In the US these are typically around 2.9% plus a small fixed fee per online transaction, with a lower rate for in-person (POS) payments. Rates can vary by country and are comparable to what you'd pay processors like Stripe or PayPal directly. Because processing rates are updated from time to time, confirm the current figures for your region on www.wix.com before you calculate margins.

Key Advantages

The absence of an added platform transaction fee means you keep more of your revenue. On a sale processed through Wix Payments, you pay only the standard processing fee rather than a processing fee plus a separate platform cut.

Important Considerations

To accept payments online you need a paid Premium plan that includes online payment and eCommerce capabilities. If you use a third-party payment provider instead of Wix Payments, that provider's standard processing fees apply, but Wix still won't add its own transaction fee. Note that processing fees are generally not returned to you when you issue a customer refund.

Bottom Line

Wix's fee structure is straightforward: you pay the standard payment processing fee, with no additional Wix platform transaction fee eating into your profits. This transparent approach makes it easier to calculate your real costs when running an online store. For the latest processing rates and plan requirements, check www.wix.com.
