What is the difference between using Wix Payments and Stripe to get paid on my Wix site?

Both Wix Payments and Stripe let you accept card payments on a Wix site, but they differ in how they are set up and managed.

Wix Payments

Wix Payments is the payment solution built directly into the Wix platform. Its main advantages are:

• Native integration with no third-party account required, since it lives inside your Wix dashboard.
• Unified management of transactions, refunds, and payouts in the same place you run your site.
• A streamlined setup that is often the fastest way to start getting paid.

Availability depends on your country, so it is not offered in every region.

Stripe

Stripe is a third-party payment processor you can connect to Wix as an alternative provider. It can be a good fit if you:

• Already use Stripe for other tools or businesses.
• Operate in a region where Wix Payments is not available.
• Want to manage payments through Stripe's own dashboard.

Choosing Between Them

When deciding, consider these points:

1. Availability in your country and supported currencies.
2. Transaction fees, which vary by provider and location.
3. Where you want to manage payouts, inside Wix or in a separate provider dashboard.

Many site owners choose Wix Payments for its convenience, while others prefer Stripe for consistency with existing systems. To check what is supported for your location, visit www.wix.com.
