Start off smoothly—learn how to set up your Wix Payments account to receive payouts. We put this checklist together to walk you through your setup process. Just follow the steps and tick items off as you go.
Start off by checking if Wix Payments is available in your region and supports your business type. If it's not, we offer a wide variety of payment providers worldwide that you can choose from.
Confirm that the products and/or services offered on your site aren’t on the Wix Payments Prohibited Products and Services list. If you’re offering something on the list, like tobacco, you might still be able to sell on Wix with other payment providers (as long as you comply with our Terms). Simply select a provider that supports your business type.Make sure you’ve connected Wix Payments as your payment provider. Next, select your business type—a business account, if your business is officially registered, or an individual account for a business that isn’t. Fill in your info and accept our Terms to finish setting up your account and start accepting payments.
