NEW YORK, Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Wix (Nasdaq:
WIX), a leading SaaS global platform to create, manage and grow an
online presence, announced it now supports over 200 million
registered users worldwide. In 2020, which was a year that pushed
creators and businesses of all types to build and expand their
online presence more than ever before, the company added over 31
million new users.
Leading up to the milestone, Wix improved the platform in many
ways to support new and existing users and helped business owners
across a variety of verticals to reinvent themselves and adapt to
the new online reality.
In particular, the past year brought a significant increase in
different kinds of online commerce businesses operating on Wix,
many that require various online transactions, such as managing a
shopping cart, scheduling appointments, ordering food, producing
and marketing events, and selling digital products.
Wix has added new users in a variety of categories including
eCommerce, restaurants, fitness, bookings, and events. Wix's online
commerce platform experienced tremendous growth in GPV (all orders
facilitated on Wix) in 2020 reaching $5.4
billion, an increase of 126% from 2019. The top online
commerce categories globally include Food & Beverage, Gifts
Shops, Home & Garden, Animal Care & Supplies, Antiques
& Vintage, Kids & Baby, Health & Beauty.
"The trend of businesses, brands and commerce moving online
accelerated in 2020, and we believe this momentum will continue to
2021," said Nir Zohar, President and COO of Wix. "Our users
are constantly innovating in their industries, and it's our
responsibility to continue to work alongside them, delivering the
best possible solutions for them to succeed. This is an exciting
milestone for Wix, and we are humbled to help hundreds of millions
of users to create and grow online at such a pivotal time."
To add its next 200 million users, Wix will continue to invest
across multiple areas of its business -- including product
development, Customer Care and infrastructure -- as it strives to
become the main engine of the internet, democratizing access and
providing a place where the majority of people will build their
online presence.
