Enter and review these details in your Wix Payments dashboard. Some details may require documents to confirm your identity and business information.

Receiving your payouts
Wix Payments groups your successful customer payments into payouts that are sent to your bank account.
Key points about payouts:
- Payment processing: There is a standard delay between when a customer pays and when the funds are sent to your bank. This gives time for processing, refunds and disputes. Processing usually takes 2-5 business days.
- Payout schedule: You can usually choose how often you get paid. This can be daily, weekly, or monthly, as preferred.
- Payout destination: Payouts go to the bank account you add during setup. You can change this account later, if needed.
If a payout fails, your Wix Payments dashboard shows a message explaining what went wrong; for example, incorrect bank details.
To view your payouts:
- Log in to Base44.
- Click Dashboard in your app editor.
- Click Payments to access your Wix Payments dashboard.
- Click Payouts.
- Click a payout to view details.
Issuing refunds
You can refund your customers directly from your Wix Payments dashboard.
When you issue a refund:
- The refunded amount is taken from your Wix Payments balance.
- If your balance does not cover the full refund, the remaining amount may be taken from upcoming payments or from your next payout.
- Refunds may take several business days to reach your customer, depending on their bank or payment method.
Refunds reduce your available balance and may affect the size and timing of your next payouts.
To issue refunds:
- Log in to Base44.
- Click Dashboard in your app editor.
- Click Payments to access your Wix Payments dashboard.
- Click All Payments.
- Click on the payment to refund.
- Click Refund.
- Enter the amount to refund and a note (if needed).
- Click Refund.
Handling a negative Wix Payments balance
Your Wix Payments balance can become negative if you issue refunds or incur chargebacks that amount to more than your available funds.
If your balance is negative:
- New successful payments go toward covering the negative amount.
- Payouts are paused until your balance returns to a positive amount.
- You won't have enough funds to cover any additional refunds or chargebacks that may occur.
You can return to a positive balance by adding funds to your account using a credit/debit card.
To add funds:
- Log in to Base44.
- Click Dashboard in your app editor.
- Click Payments to access your Wix Payments dashboard.
- Click Payouts.
- Click Add Funds in the Negative Balance notification.
Note: If you have more than one negative balance, select the shortfall you'd like to cover.
- Enter your details to pay by credit/debit card.
- Click Add Funds.
- (Optional) If you still have a remaining debt from another payment method group:
- Click Add Remaining Funds to cover that negative balance now.
- Click Later to cover that negative balance later.
- It may take up to 7 business days to process your payment and update your Wix Payments dashboard accordingly.
- Currently, it's not possible to top-up a negative balance for PayPal payments. To return to a positive balance for PayPal, you need to receive additional PayPal payments.
Managing your payment methods at checkout
