Wix expands PayPal tie-up for streamlined merchant payments

Wix.com, a SaaS website builder platform, has expanded its collaboration with PayPal to offer more online payment options to merchants via Wix Payments in the US.

The integration allows merchants to manage their PayPal transactions alongside other payment activities through a single dashboard, simplifying the administrative aspects of running an online business, such as handling chargebacks, tracking payouts, and generating reports.

Additionally, the partnership enables merchants to offer their customers a wider range of payment methods, including PayPal's own Pay Later (BNPL) service and Venmo.

The funds from purchases made using the PayPal wallet will be deposited directly into the merchant's Wix Payments account.

PayPal will also serve as a Payment Service Provider within the Wix Payments system, overseeing card processing functions.

Wix Payments is currently available to merchants based in the US, with plans for a broader roll-out “over time”.

Wix Payments co-heads Amit Sagiv and Volodymyr Tsukur said: “By bringing PayPal under the Wix Payments umbrella, we gain significantly more control over the user experience and how PayPal’s products are delivered to our merchants.

“This deeper integration allows us to improve conversion, offer more value, and drive stronger profitability, while giving our users a faster, more unified checkout flow.”

PayPal small business & financial services vice president and general manager Michelle Gill stated: “By embedding PayPal’s most popular payment methods—like PayPal Wallet and PayPal Pay Later—directly into the Wix Payments experience, we’re not just enhancing checkout.

“We’re enabling merchants to get paid quickly, manage everything in one place, and unlock new ways to serve their customers and scale their business.”

In January, Wix partnered with Worldline, a Paytech company, to provide small and medium enterprises with access to localised payment and banking solutions.
