How to Purchase a Wix Plan (Step-by-Step Guide)

Choosing the right Wix plan is one of the first steps in launching your website.

If you're working with Zeke & Willow Studio, you’ll need an active Wix hosting plan before development begins. Here’s exactly how to purchase one.

Step 1: Log into Your Wix Account

Go to www.wix.com and log in to your account.

If you don’t have one yet, create a free account first.

Step 2: Go to "Upgrade" or "Pricing & Plans"

From your dashboard:

• Click “Upgrade”

• Or navigate to “Plans & Pricing”

You’ll see different plan tiers available.

Step 3: Choose the Right Plan

Most service-based businesses should select:

✔ Core / Business Basic (for bookings or payments)

✔ Light / Combo plan (for informational sites only)

If you are selling products or accepting payments, you must select a Business or eCommerce plan.

If unsure, ask your designer before purchasing.

Step 4: Select Billing Term

Wix offers:

• Monthly

• Annual

• Multi-year options

Annual plans typically offer better value and often include a free domain for the first year.

Choose the option that best fits your budget.

Step 5: Complete Checkout

Enter your payment details and confirm purchase.

Once completed:

• Your plan will activate immediately

• You’ll be able to connect your domain

• Your site will be eligible for publishing

Common Questions

Do I need a Business plan?

If you plan to:

• Accept payments

• Offer bookings

• Sell products

Yes.

If your site is informational only, a standard website plan may be sufficient.

Can I change plans later?

Yes. Wix allows upgrades or downgrades at any time.

Final Reminder

Your Wix plan is separate from your website design investment.

Hosting, domain registration, and platform fees are paid directly to Wix and are not included in design pricing.
