Adding Business Owners to Your Wix Payments Account

3 min read
If you're accepting payments as a business entity (Corporation, General Partnership, Limited Liability Company), you must add the details of the relevant business owners to make sure your Wix Payments account complies with all legal requirements. 

Who is a Business Owner?

  • People holding 25% or more of the company's ownership. 
  • People who are significantly responsible for managing the company. This includes (but is not limited to) roles like the CEO, CFO, COO, President, Vice President, General Partner, Treasurer, Chairperson, etc.
Important:
  • Wix Payments may require additional information and/or documents to verify your Business Owners' identity. 
  • You may, but are not required to add another manager if you've already added yourself.
