How to receive international payments with Wix in 5 steps

Setting up international payments on Wix is a straightforward process but it does require a specific type of plan to unlock the checkout features. It also works for all online business sizes, from small to enterprise.

01. Upgrade to a business plan

You can't accept online payments on a free or Website paid plan. You must upgrade to a Wix Business or Wix Studio plan.

• Go to Upgrade in your Wix Dashboard.

• Select a paid plan that includes Accept Online Payments.

02. Navigate to Accept Payments

Once upgraded, you need to configure your payment gateway.

• Open your Site Dashboard.

  
  

• Go to Settings on the left-hand sidebar.

  
  

• Click on Accept Payments.

03. Choose your primary payment provider

Wix will automatically suggest providers based on your business location.

• Wix Payments: The easiest native option (available in 15+ countries including the US, UK, Canada, and parts of Europe). It handles major credit cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay.

  
  

• Third-party providers: If Wix Payments isn't available in your region, or if you prefer another service, you can connect Stripe, Square or local providers like Razorpay (India) or PayU.

  
  

04. Connect PayPal for global reach

PayPal is a must-have for international sales because it supports over 200 countries and multiple currencies. Its also trusted by consumers globally.

• In the Accept Payments tab, locate PayPal.

• Click Connect.

• Enter your PayPal email address. (Wix will prompt you to complete the setup on PayPal’s site to ensure your account is "Business" status).

05. Set up multi-currency (optional but recommended)

To help international customers, you can show prices in their local currency using the Wix Currency Switcher app.

• Go to the Wix App Market.

• Search for and install Wix Currency Switcher.

• Add the currencies you want to support.

Note: While customers see their local currency, the final checkout usually occurs in your Home currency unless your specific payment provider (like certain Stripe setups) supports multi-currency settlement.

Pro-tip: Keep in mind that international transactions often carry extra weight. For example, if you use Wix Payments in the UK, you might see a 1% cross-border fee plus a 2% currency conversion fee on top of the standard processing rate. Always check your provider's International or FX fee schedule so you aren't surprised by the margins.

Wix supports global and omnichannel eCommerce with multilingual storefronts, multi-currency payments, marketplace and social selling, mobile apps and integrated point-of-sale systems for online and offline sales.

Can I restrict sales to specific countries?

With Wix have total control over where you ship your products. In your shipping settings, you can simply select the specific countries you want to sell to and leave out the regions you are not ready to serve yet.
