NEW YORK, June 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Wix (Nasdaq: WIX), a leading global SaaS platform to
create, manage, and grow an online presence, today announced the
launch of Wix POS solutions for Wix business owners to accept
secure in-person payments of goods and services in store, online
and on the go, allowing them to manage all sales, inventory and
data directly from the Wix platform.
Over the past year, Wix took a leading role in facilitating the
global shift online - businesses with online commerce capabilities
built on Wix grew by more than 45% between March 2020 and March
2021. Now that global economies are reopening, businesses
must maintain flexibility to seamlessly operate online and offline
transactions.
Wix POS offers a cohesive end-to-end omnichannel solution,
unifying the online and offline, directly from the Wix platform. It
is the latest in a series of enhancements to Wix's eCommerce
platform, further advancing Wix's vision to provide business owners
with a full operating system to create, manage and grow their
business.
Wix business owners operating retail stores, events, and service
businesses such as fitness studios, beauty salons, consultancies
and more, can conduct sales and accept secure in-person payments
from Wix POS solutions. The solutions are fully integrated across
the users' Wix account, including fully synced inventory, orders,
fulfillment, CRM, analytics, data and reports. All sales are
automatically reflected across the Wix POS device, Wix Business
Manager and Wix Owner App.
Wix business owners can select from a variety of Wix POS
hardware kits tailored to their specific business needs:
- Wix Complete POS Retail Package serves Wix eCommerce
merchants with brick and mortar businesses and is equipped with
premium HP hardware and includes a terminal with customer display,
cash drawer, barcode scanner, receipt printer and the Stripe
Terminal card reader.
- Wix Retail Essential Package includes the terminal with
customer display and the Stripe Terminal card reader.
- Wix Mobile POS is a solution operated within the Wix
Owner App and serves businesses transacting on the go. The solution
is supported on both iOS and Android and connects through bluetooth
with the Stripe Terminal card reader.
- À la carte option is available where merchants can hand
pick hardware accessories based on their needs.
The Wix Retail POS hardware kits come with an HP terminal that
is pre-installed with the Wix POS software. The Wix POS software is
developed in-house by Wix and comes at no additional
cost.
"We strive to provide Wix business owners with a complete
business solution, and we're thrilled to extend our offering to the
physical world," said Liat Karpel
Gurwicz, Head of eCommerce Marketing at Wix. "The launch of
our own POS solution comes at a time when businesses must have the
agility to move seamlessly between their online presence and
offline POS. By offering an end-to-end solution, Wix users are able
to engage customers and transact across all sales channels and
manage their business from one powerful solution."
Wix POS is currently available to US-based Wix Stores users and may be purchased for the
verified Wix Payments account owners for POS. The solution will
expand to other countries in the future. Wix POS transactions are
processed through Wix Payments via the Stripe Terminal card reader,
offering Wix merchants a wide variety of ways to accept in-person
payments including contactless cards, chip and digital wallets.
Processing rates for the US are a standard, fixed rate for all
in-person payments. No additional fees are charged for processing
refunds or chargebacks.
In the past year, Wix has rapidly extended the Wix eCommerce
offering adding the ability for Wix merchants to connect integrated
sales channels to their stores, including marketplaces and social
media.
Wix has established a dedicated fulfilment center for
distribution of the POS solutions and services, as well as account
management to provide assistance to Wix business owners.
