Wix Stores Gain Expanded Payments Solutions and Mobile
Access
NEW YORK, Jan. 10, 2017 /CNW/ -- Wix.com Ltd. (Nasdaq:
Wix) today announced its integration with Square to give Wix
merchants and entrepreneurs in North
America a new way to accept online and in-person credit card
payments.
Wix's Square integration improves payment processing and allows
both online and in-person payments, via mobile device based POS.
Any online Wix Store can become a
physical store instantly via the Wix App, which automatically and
fully syncs the point of sale (POS) with the Wix online catalog and
inventory. Wix is aiming to expand the relationship across
verticals, including Wix Bookings, over the coming months.
"We are constantly enhancing our ecommerce experience for our
subscribers and their shoppers. We know that for small businesses
both ecommerce and mobile functionality are crucial," said
David Schwartz, VP of ecommerce, at
Wix. "Growth of our ecommerce and transaction-enabled subscriptions
continues to exceed our overall subscriptions growth, highlighting
our broad reach with small businesses. Today, Wix manages more than
305,000 ecommerce subscriptions globally. Now, by integrating the
Wix App with the Square POS, users can accept payments in any
location."
How it Works: Setup to Sale
The Square integration
builds on many of the most popular and powerful features of
Wix Stores: a stunning website,
easily created using Wix's drag and drop Editor and powerful, easy
to setup ecommerce functionality such as order management,
promotional tools, customizable tax and shipping rules, and 24/7
support.
Now Wix merchants have even more POS options with the addition
of Square. New users can create a stunning Wix Store and, with a few clicks, manage the
store and its catalog on the Wix App with the ability to accept
payments online or in-person with Square.
Existing subscribers can add Square as an available payment
option. Once subscribers complete a quick onboarding process via a
secure website, the subscriber will be able to receive payments
from major credit cards.
Since the Wix App is an extension of the online store,
everything is synced, and merchants can manage their catalog from
the Wix mobile app. The app allows them to receive orders both
online and in-person by accepting payments through a mobile device
with Wix.
"Wix allows any seller to run an omnichannel business," said
Pankaj Bengani, Square's Partnerships Lead. "By integrating with
Square, businesses can track sales data and manage inventory both
online and in-person in one place, making it easier to make smart
decisions to grow their business."
