How to Set Up Wix Payments
Setting up Wix Payments gets your site ready to take payments without jumping through hoops with third-party processors. Here's how to get it done.
Access Your Payment Settings
Head to your site dashboard and go to Settings, then click Accept Payments. This is where all your payment options live.
Connect Wix Payments
You'll see Wix Payments in your list of options. Click Connect to get started.
Complete the Verification Process
Wix needs some basic details to verify your business:
- Your business information (name, address, type of business)
- Bank account details where you want payments sent
- Some basic identity verification
Double-check everything before submitting. Getting details wrong here means delays later, and nobody wants to wait around when customers are ready to buy.
Start Taking Payments
Once Wix approves your setup, you can accept:
- Credit and debit cards
- Apple Pay and Google Pay
- Bank transfers (depending on your location)
All payments go straight to your bank account, usually within a few business days.
Test Your Setup
Before you go live, run a test transaction to make sure everything works. Use Wix's test mode to check the payment flow without processing real money.
FAQs
What bank account do I need for Wix Payments?
Any standard business checking account works fine. Personal accounts might cause issues during verification, so stick with business accounts if you have one.
What are the processing fees?
Wix charges a percentage per transaction plus a small fixed fee. The exact rates depend on your location and plan type. Check Wix's current pricing page for the most up-to-date fees.
Can I customise how the payment form looks?
Yes, you can adjust colours and styling to match your site design. The payment form will blend in with your existing checkout process.
How long does verification take?
Usually 2-3 business days, but it can take longer if Wix needs additional documentation. Having all your business details ready speeds things up.
What happens if a payment fails?
Failed payments show up in your dashboard with the reason (expired card, insufficient funds, etc.). You can contact the customer to try again with different payment details.

Wrap-up
