Use POS Checkout to sell in person right on your computer dashboard. You can collect payment for:
- Store products
- Appointments booked through Wix Bookings
- Wix Restaurants (New) menu items
- Custom charges
Tip:
After setup, you can accept payment through a card reader or by manually entering credit or debit card details. You can accept cash payment without any setup.
Setting up a card reader
Important:
- Accepting payment using a card reader is currently available only for merchants in the US and Canada.
- The Desktop Card reader is currently no longer for sale. Alternatively, you can purchase our Wix POS Go card reader from our Wix POS shop.
Before you can set up your card reader to start collecting payment in person from clients, you need to connect to Wix Payments, activate Wix Point of Sale as a payment method and purchase the reader. You can use both the Wix POS Go or the Desktop Card Reader with Desktop POS.
To set up payment using a card reader:
- Our card readers work with the Wix Payments payment provider. Start by connecting to Wix Payments.
- Acquire the Wix POS Go from our Wix POS shop.
- Enable Wix Point of Sale:
- Go to Accept Payments in your site's dashboard.
- Click Accept next to Wix Point of Sale.
- Pair your card reader with your account.
Setting up manual card entry
Before you can accept payment by manually entering your clients’ credit or debit card details, you need to connect to a payment provider that supports this option.
