Wix Partners: Allowing a Client to Manage Their Site

You have options if you'd like to let your client manage a site you built for them. You can add your client as a collaborator, or transfer the Premium or free site to their account.

Tips:

Before starting a project, decide with your client how, and if, they will manage the site in the future.

Inviting your client to collaborate

When you add your client as a collaborator, you assign them a role that lets them manage the site in your account. The role you assign your client determines which actions they can perform on the site.

This option is great if you plan to continue to work on the site in your account.

Transferring a Premium site to your client

When you transfer a Premium site to your client's account, they become the site owner and you have options. You can move the Premium plan, domain, and mailboxes (if purchased from Wix) to your client's account. You can also become a site collaborator or create a copy of the site in your account. Any Premium apps connected to the site are transferred as well.

This option is great if you want to upgrade and connect a domain before letting your client manage everything in their account.

Important:

You must become a site collaborator when transferring a site to keep points you've earned from it. Select Keep my role as Website Manager of this site after the transfer to become a collaborator.

When transferring a Premium site you can:

Transfer the Premium plan to your client's account.
Move the domain to your client's account.
Become a collaborator of the site after the transfer.
Create a copy of the site in your account.
