Introduction

Wix, one of the most popular website builders in the world, just rolled out a game-changing update: native PayPal integration within Wix Payments. For merchants in the United States, this means a simpler, faster, and more powerful way to manage payments — all in one place.

In this post, we’ll break down everything you need to know about the Wix PayPal integration, how to set it up, and how it can benefit your online store or business. Whether you’re a small business owner, a freelancer, or just starting your eCommerce journey — this guide is for you.

What Is the Wix PayPal Integration?

Wix has expanded its partnership with PayPal to allow direct integration of PayPal Business accounts into the Wix Payments dashboard. This means:

• You no longer need to manage PayPal separately.
• All PayPal transactions, chargebacks, and payouts are now visible in one place — right inside your Wix dashboard.
• You can accept PayPal Wallet, Venmo, and PayPal Pay Later (BNPL) directly at checkout.

📌 Important Note: As of now, this feature is available only to U.S.-based Wix Payments users.

What Merchants Can Manage from the Wix Dashboard

Once your PayPal is connected to Wix, you’ll be able to manage:

• 🧾 Transactions – All PayPal + Wix sales in one place
• 💰 Payouts – Know when and where your money is arriving
• 📉 Chargebacks & Refunds – Handled centrally
• 📊 Reporting – Filter by payment method, order, or customer
• ⚙️ Checkout Settings – Turn PayPal/Venmo/Pay Later on/off

Is It Secure?

Yes — both Wix and PayPal are PCI DSS compliant, ensuring high-grade security for merchants and customers.

• All transactions are encrypted
• Customers are redirected to trusted gateways
• Venmo and Pay Later follow PayPal’s own secure protocols

Will This Be Available Outside the U.S.?

Currently, this feature is limited to U.S.-based Wix Payments users. However, Wix has officially announced that it plans to roll it out to more countries soon.

If you’re outside the U.S., you can still use PayPal via manual integration or third-party apps — but not with the unified dashboard experience.
