About Wix

Wix is a hosted website builder with a drag-and-drop editor that makes it one of the easiest ways to launch a small store. E-commerce requires the Core plan (USD $29/mo) or higher, up to Business Elite at USD $159/mo, with no transaction fees. It offers 900+ templates and a 500+ app market, but is less scalable than Shopify for large catalogues.

Wix was founded in 2006 and is headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel.
