How to Enable PayPal Payments in Wix

Enabling PayPal payments on your Wix website is a straightforward process that can greatly enhance your e-commerce capabilities. Follow these steps to seamlessly integrate PayPal into your Wix site and start accepting payments from customers around the world.

Step 1: Log In to Your Wix Account

Begin by logging in to your Wix account. If you have multiple websites, select the one you want to edit by clicking on “Select and Edit Site.” If you only have one site, you will be directed to the main dashboard after logging in.

Step 2: Navigate to Payment Settings

Once you are in your site’s dashboard, scroll down to the left side menu and select “Settings.” From the settings menu, find and click on “Accept Payments.”

Step 3: Connect PayPal

In the “Accept Payments” section, look for PayPal and click on the “Connect” button next to it. You will be prompted to enter your PayPal email address. Fill in the required details and click on the “Next” button.

Step 4: Authorize Wix to Connect with PayPal

You will be redirected to PayPal’s login page. Enter your PayPal credentials and log in. PayPal will request permission to connect with Wix. Click on the “Allow” button to proceed.

Ensure that your legal name, date of birth, and nationality are correct. Fill in your phone number and click “Next.”

Step 5: Finalize the Connection

Once you have authorized the connection, you will be redirected back to Wix. Your PayPal account is now linked, and you can start accepting payments. To further manage your PayPal account, such as linking a bank account and setting up automatic transfers, log in to your PayPal account.

Recurring Payments

If you want to accept recurring payments for services like subscriptions, follow PayPal’s instructions. This setup can take up to 72 hours for approval. Once approved, you can start accepting recurring payments on your Wix site.

Conclusion

Integrating PayPal into your Wix website is essential for any business looking to streamline its payment process. By following these steps, you can ensure a smooth and efficient setup, allowing you to focus on growing your business.
