Question 9

I noticed a Wix processing fee on my bank statement.  What is your fee structure?

Accepted Answer

Wix Events Fee:
Wix (our secure website hosting platform) charges a 2.5% ticket service fee when using their event platform for ticket sales. This fee is applied to each ticket sold. 
Credit Card Processing Fees:
When customers pay with a credit card, Wix's payment processor charges standard processing fees. These fees typically range from 2.9% plus a flat fee per transaction (e.g., $0.30). 
Separation of Fees:
The 2.5% ticket service fee and the credit card processing fees are distinct and not overlapping. The ticket service fee is for using the Wix platform, while the payment processing fees are charged by the third-party payment processor.

Note:  In the case of a customer-initiated, unwarranted credit card dispute, the customer is responsible for any/all dispute processing fees which will be applied to the customer's next invoice.
