Common questions about Wix for e-commerce platforms
The same questions Australian merchants ask before signing up.
Selling on Wix requires at least the Core plan at $42/mo (Core) (annual billing). The Business plan is $55/mo (Business) and the Business Elite plan is $199/mo (Business Elite). The free Wix plan does not include e-commerce features.
Wix charges 0% platform transaction fees on its e-commerce plans. You pay only the processing fee set by your chosen payment gateway, such as Wix Payments or a third-party provider.
Using Wix Payments, the online card rate is 1.9% + $0.30 (Wix Payments) per transaction. This rate applies when Australian merchants use the built-in Wix Payments gateway.
Yes. Wix uses a drag-and-drop visual builder and requires no coding. It is one of the most accessible e-commerce builders available, with over 900 templates and an AI site setup assistant. The trade-off is that the template cannot be changed after you publish, so choosing the right design upfront matters.
Wix works well for small to medium-sized stores. For very large catalogues, advanced B2B workflows, or high-volume operations, a dedicated e-commerce platform such as Shopify or BigCommerce may offer better scalability.
Both are beginner-friendly hosted builders. Wix offers more design flexibility and a larger app marketplace. Squarespace is known for superior template aesthetics and stronger blogging and content tools. Squarespace Commerce plans also charge 0% transaction fees, matching Wix on that point.

About Wix
Wix is a hosted website builder with a drag-and-drop editor and an AI generator that can produce a starter site from a few prompts, which makes it one of the easiest ways to get online. It bills Australian customers in AUD with GST included, rather than converting from US dollars. The paid range runs Light, Core, Business and Business Elite, and selling online requires Core or above.
With 900+ templates and a large app market it is friendly for beginners, though it is less scalable than Shopify for large catalogues and a template cannot be changed after publishing without rebuilding. The free plan does publish a live site, but on a Wix subdomain with Wix ads, so most businesses will need a paid plan for their own domain. Note too that a plan covers a single site, so running several sites means paying for several plans.
Wix was founded in 2006 and is headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel.
