Change Your Wix Billing Cycle
TL;DR:
- You can switch between monthly and yearly billing in your Wix account dashboard anytime
- Go to Subscriptions, select your plan, then click "Change Plan Cycle"
- Wix shows pricing changes before you confirm anything
- Annual billing usually works out cheaper and means less admin
Switching your Wix billing cycle is pretty straightforward once you know where to look. Here's how to do it and what you need to know.
Getting to Your Billing Settings
Log into your Wix account and head to your dashboard. Look for "Subscriptions" in your account menu – this is where all your billing settings live.
Once you're in the Subscriptions section, you'll see all your active plans listed. Find the one you want to change and select it.
Making the Switch
Click "Change Plan Cycle" next to your chosen plan. You'll get two options: monthly or yearly billing.
The yearly option almost always works out cheaper per month, but you pay the full amount upfront. Monthly billing costs more overall but spreads the payments out.
Before you confirm anything, Wix shows you exactly what the price difference will be. No surprises or hidden costs.
Things to Consider
Most people switch to annual billing to save money. If you're planning to keep your site running for the full year anyway, it makes sense.
Monthly billing gives you more flexibility if you're not sure about long-term plans or if cash flow is tight.
Your current plan features stay exactly the same – you're just changing when and how much you pay.
FAQs
Can I change my billing cycle whenever I want?
Yes, you can switch between monthly and yearly billing anytime through your Subscriptions page.
Will I get charged extra for switching?
No extra fees for changing cycles. You might see different pricing (usually savings for annual plans), but Wix shows you the exact costs before you confirm.
What happens to my current billing period when I switch?
Wix handles the transition and adjusts your next billing date accordingly. Any credits or adjustments show up in your account.
Jargon Buster
Billing Cycle – How often you get charged (monthly or yearly)
Subscription – Your paid Wix plan that keeps your website features active
Prorated – When charges get adjusted based on timing of changes
Wrap-up
Changing your Wix billing cycle takes about two minutes once you know where to find it. Most people switch to annual billing for the cost savings, but monthly works better if you need flexibility. Either way, you can change it back anytime if your circumstances change.
