Frequently asked about Wix
How much does Wix cost after the free trial?
Wix's free plan is ad-supported and limited. Paid plans start at $16/month at renewal. The introductory price varies by plan tier and promotion, but renewal always jumps to the standard rate. Longer commitments don't reduce renewal pricing.
What's Wix's refund policy?
Wix offers a 14-day money-back guarantee from purchase date. Domain registrations are non-refundable. If you cancel within 14 days, you'll receive a full refund minus any domains you bought separately.
Does Wix include daily backups?
Yes. Wix automatically backs up your site daily. Backups are retained for 30 days, allowing you to restore your site to any point within that window if needed. You cannot manually download backups; restoration happens through Wix support.
Does Wix offer phone support?
No. Wix provides live chat support and email, but not phone. Live chat is available 24/7 for most account issues, and response times are typically under 5 minutes during business hours.
Can I migrate an existing website to Wix?
Wix does not offer free site migration. You can manually recreate your site using their drag-and-drop editor or hire a Wix Expert from their marketplace. Some users export content from old platforms and re-enter it, which takes time but costs nothing.
