Wix Payments
What is Wix Payments?
Wix Payments is Wix's native payment gateway that allows site owners to accept secure online payments directly through their platform. It is a comprehensive solution that eliminates the need to integrate and manage third-party payment systems. Wix Payments supports all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, etc.), as well as popular methods like Apple Pay, Google Pay, and various local payment options (e.g., iDEAL, Giropay). The service is designed to centralize all of a business's financial operations into a single Wix dashboard, for tracking transactions, managing payouts, and processing refunds.
How to use Wix Payments in your work?
Setting up Wix Payments is done in the 'Accept Payments' section of the site's dashboard. The business owner needs to go through a verification process by providing company information and bank details. Once the account is approved, Wix Payments becomes available to connect to all Wix commercial tools. You simply select it as the primary payment method in the settings of Wix Stores, Wix Bookings, Wix Events, Wix Pricing Plans, or even Wix Forms. All transactions, revenue, and upcoming payouts to your bank account are displayed in a unified financial dashboard. For a CTO, it's important that Wix Payments ensures PCI DSS compliance, relieving the business of some of the responsibility for payment card data security.
What advantages does Wix Payments provide and what problems does it solve?
The main advantage of Wix Payments is its seamless and native integration. It solves the problem of the complexity of connecting and managing multiple payment providers. Instead of having a separate dashboard for the website and another for the payment system, everything is in one place. This significantly simplifies financial management and reporting. The service solves the task of providing secure and reliable transactions, increasing customer trust. It offers competitive and transparent payment processing fees with no hidden charges. Centralized management of refunds and chargebacks also saves time and simplifies dispute resolution. Ultimately, Wix Payments allows business owners to focus on sales rather than the technical aspects of accepting payments.
How to Integrate Wix Payments with other services?
Wix Payments is the financial core for all Wix commercial applications. It is the primary and most tightly integrated payment gateway for Wix Stores, Wix Bookings, Wix Events, Wix Restaurants, Wix Invoices, Wix Pricing Plans, and Wix Donations. Every transaction processed through these applications is handled by Wix Payments and is automatically linked to the corresponding order, booking, or contact in Wix CRM. This ensures full transparency and traceability of financial flows within the ecosystem. The service is also closely linked with Wix Checking, a business account that offers faster payouts.
