Wix Pricing in the UK (2026): A Guide for Businesses

Building an online store on Wix is one of the fastest ways for a UK business to start selling — but the monthly plan price is only one of the bills. Running that store means a stack of recurring costs: the Wix subscription itself, ad platforms like Meta and Google, the SaaS tools that keep it running, and any overseas suppliers. Paying those bills in the right currency — and with the right controls — is where a Wix business actually saves money. This guide breaks down Wix's UK pricing for 2026, what each plan includes for a business, the costs that catch people out, and how a multi-currency business card handles your store's running expenses.

Wix pricing at a glance (UK, 2026)

Wix sells two builder families in the UK — Classic (the original drag-and-drop editor) and Studio (aimed at agencies and more design-led teams). Both are billed annually; the figures below are the monthly equivalent of an annual plan, in GBP. Note: Wix's own plans page serves region-varying pricing (it often shows USD rather than GBP), so the GBP figures below follow Smoogles' May 2026 UK cost breakdown, which is UK-specific. Wix updates pricing periodically, so confirm the current figure on Wix's site before you buy.

Family	Plan	Monthly equiv. (annual billing)	Ecommerce	Best for
Classic	Light	£9	No	Brochure / portfolio
Classic	Core	£16	Yes (POS)	New UK online shop
Classic	Business	£25	Yes (multi-currency)	Growing international seller
Classic	Business Elite	£119	Yes (11 currencies)	High-volume / cross-market
Studio	Basic	£9	No	Customisable site
Studio	Standard	£14	Yes (POS)	Small SEO-led shop
Studio	Plus	£21	Yes	Growing team
Studio	Elite	£119	Yes	Agency / enterprise

A Free plan exists (Wix branding, subdomain, no ecommerce), and Enterprise is custom-quoted for large multi-site businesses.

Two things the headline price doesn't tell you:

Promo vs. headline. Wix runs limited-time promos (e.g. Core has been seen at £8/mo, Business at £12.50/mo, Business Elite at £59.50/mo vs. the £119/mo headline). Promo rates apply to the first billing term and revert afterward — budget the headline, not the discount.
Classic vs. Studio at the same price. Both entry tiers are £9 and both top tiers are £119, but Studio trades some simplicity for design and collaboration: at the growth tier, Studio (Plus, £21) gives more CMS headroom (20,000 vs. Classic Business's lower cap) while Classic Business (£25) leans into ecommerce (dropshipping, loyalty). Pick by whether you're building a shop or a design-led site.

Wix Classic plans

Light — £9/mo. A simple brochure or portfolio: first-year free domain, no Wix ads, 2GB storage. No ecommerce — fine for a service business that just needs a presence.
Core — £16/mo. The entry ecommerce tier: sell online, 50GB storage, point-of-sale, customer accounts, basic analytics. Suits a new UK online shop.
Business — £25/mo. Adds multi-currency selling (around 6 currencies), 100GB storage, automated sales-tax (100/mo), dropshipping (250 products), and loyalty tools. The plan most international sellers grow into.
Business Elite — £119/mo. Unlimited storage, around 11 currencies, VIP support, 100 team members, unlimited dropshipping. For high-volume or cross-market sellers.

Wix Studio plans

Studio trades some simplicity for design and collaboration control:

Basic — £9/mo. Customisable site, 10GB, 1,500 CMS items. No ecommerce.
Standard — £14/mo. Adds POS and ecommerce, 50GB, 4,000 CMS.
Plus — £21/mo. 120GB, 20,000 CMS, marketing automation — for growing teams.
Elite — £119/mo. Unlimited storage, 500k CMS, multi-site management, SSO — agency/enterprise.

For most UK small businesses, Classic Core or Business is the practical ecommerce starting point; Studio suits agencies building for clients.

What's included — and what costs extra

Included: web hosting, SSL, a custom domain (first year), templates, basic SEO tools, and (on paid plans) ecommerce from Core upward.

Extra costs to budget:

Domain renewal after the first year — typically £10–15/year.
Premium apps from the Wix App Market — can add up quickly; install only what you use.
Professional email (e.g. Google Workspace) — not included.
Payment transaction fees — see below.

None of these are hidden in a deceptive sense, but they sit outside the plan price and are easy to forget when you budget.

Wix Payments and taking money from customers

Wix lets you accept cards through Wix Payments, and notes that it charges no extra transaction fee when you use Wix Payments (third-party gateways may add their own). For a UK business selling at home, that's straightforward. The wrinkle is multi-currency: Wix's Business plan supports around 6 currencies and Business Elite around 11. If you sell across many markets, you'll hit that ceiling — and the FX on cross-border card payments becomes a real, recurring cost.

The hidden cost of running a Wix business

The plan price is visible; the running costs are not. Three recurring bills eat into a Wix business's margin:

Your Wix subscription and SaaS tools — billed in USD/EUR, each currency conversion a small, repeated tax.
Ad spend — Meta and Google bills land in USD, so every top-up carries an FX markup.
Overseas suppliers — a SWIFT wire carries fees and a 1–3% FX markup.

None of this is Wix's fault — it's the nature of running a store that touches other currencies. The fix is a card and pay-out layer built to pay these costs cheaply, sitting alongside your storefront rather than inside it.

Paying your Wix business's running costs: the PhotonPay Card

The storefront is the easy part. The recurring bills are what add up — your Wix subscription, ad platforms like Meta and Google, the SaaS tools that run your store, and any overseas suppliers. Paying those in the right currency, with the right controls, is where a Wix business actually saves money. The PhotonPay Card is built to pay exactly these costs.

How a Wix-running business uses it:

Pay subscriptions and SaaS with a virtual card. A virtual business card on the Mastercard + Discover® Global Network is the natural fit for online, recurring spend — your Wix plan, Google Workspace, ad platforms, and other SaaS — with per-transaction, daily, and monthly limits, instant freezes, and spend across world.
Pay in-store or on the go with a physical card. Where you need to tap, or to add the card to Google Pay / Apple Pay, the physical PhotonPay Card does it — same limits and controls, just in your wallet.
Pay overseas suppliers in their local currency. Global payout reaches 200+ countries/regions in 60+ currencies, as fast as 1 business day, with smart routing that avoids intermediary banks. FX is at transparent interbank rates with no hidden fees.
Settle with stablecoins as an optimisation layer. You can fund your PhotonPay account with stablecoins (USDC or USDT); stablecoins act as a settlement layer and the card makes the actual merchant payment.

PhotonPay is positioned as a next-generation Payment Operating System serving 200,000+ businesses across 200+ countries/regions, FCA-authorised in the UK, with a UK office and global local presence.
