Does Wix Take a Percentage of Sales?

No, Wix does not take a percentage of your sales. Unlike Shopify, which charges an additional 0.5%–2% transaction fee if you don't use Shopify Payments, Wix takes zero commission on what you sell. The only fees you'll pay on a Wix sale are standard payment processing - 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction with Wix Payments - and that's the same rate you'd pay any other processor like Stripe or PayPal directly.

This guide covers exactly what you pay on a Wix sale, how it compares to Shopify and Squarespace, the third-party gateway costs to watch for, currency conversion fees, and the few hidden costs that surprise new sellers.

What Wix Actually Charges on a Sale

Here's the full picture of what comes out of every dollar a customer pays you on a Wix store:

• Wix commission: $0. Wix never takes a cut of your sale revenue.
• Wix Payments processing fee (US, domestic cards): 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction. Same as Stripe or Square direct.
• International card surcharge: +1% if the card is issued outside your business country.
• Currency conversion fee: +2% if the customer pays in a currency different from your payout currency.
• Refund fee: $0. The full original amount returns to the customer; the original processing fee is also refunded to you.
• Chargeback fee: $0 on Wix Payments. Most other processors charge $15–$25 per chargeback regardless of outcome.
• Setup fee: $0.
• Monthly platform fee: The cost of your Wix Core or Business plan (~$29–$36/month) - required to enable eCommerce in the first place.

For a $100 sale paid by a US-issued card to a US business, you keep $96.80. That's industry-standard processing - Wix isn't taking anything beyond what the card networks charge.

Wix vs Shopify vs Squarespace: Sales Fee Comparison

Here's how Wix's "no commission" policy actually stacks up against the two platforms it most often gets compared with:

• Wix: 2.9% + $0.30 processing. 0% commission. Refunds and chargebacks free.
• Shopify (using Shopify Payments): 2.4%–2.9% + $0.30 processing depending on plan. 0% commission. Chargebacks $15.
• Shopify (using a third-party gateway like Stripe or PayPal): 2.9% + $0.30 processing PLUS Shopify charges 0.5%–2% additional commission for not using their in-house processor. This is the fee Shopify is famous for.
• Squarespace Commerce: 2.9% + $0.30 processing on the Business plan PLUS Squarespace charges a 3% transaction fee. The fee drops to 0% on the Commerce Basic ($23/month) and Commerce Advanced ($49/month) plans.

The headline: Wix matches Shopify's no-commission policy without locking you into a specific processor. Squarespace charges a real commission on its lowest commerce plan, which catches a lot of new sellers off guard.

Third-Party Payment Gateway Fees on Wix

Wix lets you accept payments through multiple processors. The fees you pay depend on which processor handles the transaction - not on Wix:

• Wix Payments: 2.9% + $0.30 (US). For a complete breakdown, see our guide to Wix payment fees.
• PayPal: 3.49% + $0.49 for online transactions (PayPal's standard rate, not Wix-specific).
• Stripe (via Wix integration): 2.9% + $0.30 - same as Wix Payments.
• Square: 2.6% + $0.10 for in-person, 2.9% + $0.30 online.
• Apple Pay / Google Pay: Use the underlying processor's rate (usually Wix Payments or Stripe).

You can run multiple processors at the same time and let customers choose. Wix doesn't add a surcharge for using a non-Wix processor - that's the key difference vs Shopify.

What Plan Do You Need to Sell on Wix?

You can't sell anything on the free plan or the Light plan. To accept payments, you need:

• Core plan (~$29/month): Basic eCommerce - sell physical products, accept Wix Payments, basic shipping rules.
• Business plan (~$36/month): Recommended for most sellers. Adds advanced shipping, multiple currencies, dropshipping integrations, and abandoned cart recovery.
• Business Elite (~$159/month): Adds advanced reporting, priority support, and higher resource limits - needed only for high-volume stores.

None of these plans charge a commission on top of the monthly fee. You're paying for the platform; the sales themselves are commission-free. For more on overall pricing, see how much Wix costs.

Hidden Costs to Budget For

The 2.9% + $0.30 is the headline number, but a few real-world costs surprise new Wix sellers:

• Currency conversion (+2%): If a UK customer pays in GBP and you receive USD, Wix Payments adds a 2% conversion fee on top of the standard processing.
• International cards (+1%): Cards issued outside your business country incur an extra 1%. For US-based stores selling globally, this matters quickly.
• Premium app subscriptions: Some sales-related Wix apps (advanced loyalty programs, certain shipping integrations) carry their own monthly fees that aren't included in your Wix plan.
• Sales tax: Wix doesn't charge sales tax to you, but it does collect it from customers in the right jurisdictions if you've set tax rates correctly. Misconfigured tax settings = unhappy customers and unhappy auditors.
• Domain renewal: Year 1 is free with most plans; year 2+ runs $14–$20/year for a .com.

Do Wix Bookings or Wix Restaurants Charge Differently?

No. The same 2.9% + $0.30 processing rate applies whether the sale comes through Wix Stores, Wix Bookings (services), Wix Events (tickets), or Wix Restaurants (online ordering). Wix doesn't take a per-booking, per-ticket, or per-order commission - only the underlying card processing fee applies.

One exception: third-party delivery integrations (DoorDash, Uber Eats) for Wix Restaurants charge their own commissions (typically 15%–30%), but those go to the delivery platform, not Wix.

What About Refunds and Chargebacks?

This is one of Wix Payments' real advantages. When you process a refund:

• The customer gets the full original amount back.
• You get the original processing fee refunded to your account.
• Wix charges no additional fee for issuing the refund.

Chargebacks are free on Wix Payments - Wix doesn't add the $15–$25 chargeback fee that Stripe, Square, and Shopify Payments charge. If you lose the chargeback, you lose the sale (and the goods if they shipped), but you don't pay an extra penalty fee. For high-volume stores with even a 1% chargeback rate, this saves real money over a year.

How Wix Compares to "Free" Selling Channels

Some people compare Wix to free selling channels like Facebook Marketplace, eBay, or Etsy. The math looks different than you'd think:

• eBay: ~13% final value fee + payment processing. Wix is far cheaper at any volume.
• Etsy: $0.20 listing fee + 6.5% transaction fee + 3% + $0.25 payment processing. Wix is cheaper on transactions over ~$30.
• Facebook Marketplace: Free for local pickup; 5% selling fee for shipped items. Cheaper than Wix only for occasional sellers.
• Amazon: Referral fees of 8%–15% per category + monthly seller fee. Wix is far cheaper but you give up Amazon's traffic.

The right comparison: Wix charges no platform commission, but you have to drive your own traffic. Etsy/eBay/Amazon charge commissions because they bring you the buyer.

Conclusion: Does Wix Take a Percentage of Sales?

To restate the answer: no, Wix does not take a percentage of your sales. The only fees you pay on a sale are standard payment processing (2.9% + $0.30 with Wix Payments - same rate as Stripe direct), plus the monthly cost of your Wix plan ($29–$36 for most sellers). There's no transaction fee, no commission, and no surcharge for using a non-Wix payment processor like PayPal or Stripe - which is a real differentiator vs Shopify, where using anything other than Shopify Payments costs you an extra 0.5%–2% per sale. Refunds and chargebacks are also free on Wix Payments, which is unusual in the industry. For most small and mid-sized sellers, Wix's fee structure is among the cleanest you'll find.
