What You Keep
The flat component is what makes small sales expensive. The same fee schedule costs a very different effective rate depending on the order size:
| Sale | Fees | You receive | Effective rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| $5.00 | $0.44 | $4.56 | 8.90% |
| $20.00 | $0.88 | $19.12 | 4.40% |
| $50.00 | $1.75 | $48.25 | 3.50% |
| $100.00 | $3.20 | $96.80 | 3.20% |
| $500.00 | $14.80 | $485.20 | 2.96% |
Processing Only, No Commission
On a Business or eCommerce plan, Wix takes no commission on sales. What you pay is Wix Payments' card rate, which is competitive with Stripe's standard pricing because it is built on similar rails.
| Cost | Rate |
|---|---|
| Wix Payments (US cards) | 2.9% + 30¢ |
| International cards | +1% |
| Platform commission | 0% |
Plan Level Gates Selling, Not Rates
Wix restricts *whether* you can accept payments by plan rather than charging a different percentage per plan. A free or personal plan cannot take money at all; once you are on a commerce-capable plan the rate is the rate.
That makes the plan decision binary and simple, and it means the calculator above is the whole story for a domestic store.
Third-Party Gateways Are Allowed
You can connect PayPal, Stripe or a regional processor instead of Wix Payments, and Wix does not surcharge you for it — unlike some competitors. Use that if you already have negotiated rates or need a local method Wix Payments does not support.
Watch the Payout Schedule
Wix Payments settles on a rolling schedule that varies by country and account history. New accounts often see a longer initial hold. That is a cash-flow question rather than a cost question, but it catches sellers who plan inventory purchases against expected settlements.
Charging to Hit a Target Payout
Adding 2.90% to your price under-recovers, because the percentage then applies to the larger amount as well. The correct gross-up divides:
``
charge = (target + flat fees) ÷ (1 − percentage rate)
``
| To receive | Charge |
|---|---|
| $100.00 | $103.30 |
| $1,000.00 | $1,030.18 |
Reducing What You Pay
- Raise average order value. The flat fee is fixed, so bundling two $20.00 orders
- Watch the optional surcharges. International and currency-conversion fees stack on top
- Negotiate at volume. Most processors will discuss custom rates once you are processing
- Do not migrate for 0.2%. The engineering and support cost of changing platforms
Wix takes no separate commission on Business plans; this is the processing rate.
