Key Takeaway: Setting up payment processing on your Wix website is easier than you think! Whether you choose Wix Payments, Stripe, Square, or (with caveats) Braintree, this guide walks you through every step—from connecting your bank account to meeting all the requirements to start accepting payments.

🚀 Quick Summary

• Wix supports multiple payment processors: Wix Payments (native), Stripe, Square, and (with advanced setup) Braintree.

• You’ll need: a published Wix site, business and banking info, and some basic documentation.

1. Why Payment Processing Matters for Your Wix Site

Accepting payments online is the backbone of any eCommerce or service business. Wix makes it easy by offering built-in and third-party payment solutions, so you can get paid quickly and securely—no coding required!

2. What You Need to Get Started

Before you dive into setup, gather these essentials:

Requirement	Details/Examples
Published Wix Website	Must be live and on a paid plan
Business Registration	LLC, corporation, or sole proprietorship
Tax ID	EIN (US), VAT, or local equivalent
Bank Account	Business (preferred) or personal (sole proprietor)
Government ID	Driver’s license, passport, or national ID
Proof of Address	Utility bill, bank statement, or lease
Business Documents	Registration/incorporation docs, if applicable
Contact Info	Business email and phone number
Website Policies	Refund and privacy policies visible on your site

Pro Tip: Requirements may vary by country and payment provider. Always check the latest documentation for your region.

3. Step-by-Step: Setting Up Payment Processing on Wix

A. Wix Payments (Native Solution)

1. Go to your Wix Dashboard

   Navigate to “Settings” > “Accept Payments.”

2. Select Wix Payments

   Click “Connect” and start the application.

3. Enter Business & Bank Details

   • Fill in your business or personal info.

   • Enter your bank account details (routing/account number or IBAN/SWIFT).

4. Upload Required Documents

   • Government-issued ID

   • Business registration (if applicable)

   • Proof of address

5. Submit & Wait for Verification

   • Review and submit your application.

   • Verification usually takes 1–3 business days.

6. Start Accepting Payments!

   Once approved, your customers can pay via credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, and more. Funds are transferred to your bank account within 2–5 business days after each transaction.

B. Stripe

1. In Wix Dashboard:

   Go to “Settings” > “Accept Payments” and select Stripe.

2. Connect Your Stripe Account:

   • Log in or create a new Stripe account.

   • Provide business details, website URL, and product/service info.

3. Bank Account Setup:

   • Enter your bank account details during Stripe onboarding.

   • Stripe will make a small test deposit for verification.

4. Verification:

   • Upload ID and business documents as requested.

   • Confirm the test deposit in your Stripe dashboard.

5. Go Live:

   Once verified, Stripe will process payments and deposit funds to your bank account on their payout schedule.

C. Square

1. In Wix Dashboard:

   Go to “Settings” > “Accept Payments” and select Square.

2. Connect Your Square Account:

   • Log in to Square and authorize the connection.

3. Bank Account Linking:

   • In your Square Dashboard, go to “Account & Settings” > “Bank Accounts.”

   • Add your bank details and complete verification (micro-deposit or instant).

4. Verification:

   • Square may request business and ID documents.

   • Once verified, payouts are sent to your bank account daily (region-dependent).

D. Braintree (Advanced/Not Natively Supported)

Note: Braintree is not natively integrated with Wix. Custom integration is possible via Wix Velo (developer tools), but it’s complex and not recommended for most users.

If you proceed:

• Create a Braintree merchant account and complete onboarding.

• Obtain API credentials.

• Use Wix Velo to embed Braintree’s payment UI (requires coding).

• Enter your bank account in Braintree’s dashboard for payouts.

• Test thoroughly before going live.

Recommendation: Most users should stick to Wix Payments, Stripe, or Square for seamless setup and support.

4. Payment Processing Fees & Payouts

Provider	Typical Fee (US)	Payout Schedule	Notes
Wix Payments	2.9% + $0.30/transaction	2–5 business days	Native, easy setup
Stripe	2.9% + $0.30/transaction	2–7 business days	Global, robust features
Square	2.9% + $0.30/transaction	Daily (varies)	Great for in-person + online
Braintree	2.9% + $0.30/transaction	2–5 business days	Advanced, not natively supported on Wix

5. Common Questions

• Can I use more than one payment provider?

  You can enable multiple options (e.g., credit cards + PayPal), but only one main card processor at a time.

• What if my documents don’t match?

  Ensure your business name, bank account, and ID all match to avoid delays.

• How do I test payments?

  Use test transactions in your Wix dashboard or payment provider’s sandbox mode before going live.
