After you transfer a site to another Wix account, you can check the status of the transfer, or resend the invite under Roles & Permissions on your site's dashboard.
Checking the status of a transfer
Site recipients have 3 days to accept the transfer invitation. You can check the status of the transfer to see if it's been accepted yet.
To check the status of a transfer:
- Go to Roles & Permissions in your site's dashboard.
- Search for the recipient and check the status next to their name.
