  A group I'm a part of decided to make a slight change in our domain name. In this process Wix said that we could use either the new or existing domain name until our existing (old) domain name expired. Imagine our shock and dismay when Wix automatically renewed the old domain name (even before it was due for renewal) and charged $359. When we contested the charges the customer *** said they have a policy of no refunds. As a consolation they gave us 3 unpaid months on the new domain name, but this does not come close to the money we were charged unfairly. In addition, since we did not expect this bill we did not make sure there was enough money in our checking account and we incurred $161 in bank fees. We want Wix to refund our money + pay our bank fees.

  Thank you for this information. We see that our colleagues last reached out to you via ticket thread ********* on June 12th regarding this matter. 
  In this email, they confirmed the domain was cancelled and the extension of your premium plan, as well as the offer to assist with any additional concerns, however you have not tried to contact them directly since that date.
  As such, we would ask that you follow up with the team directly via your existing email thread.

  Hello. My name is **** ***, a current high schooler. On July 17th, 2024, I bought a Wix premium business plan and a domain totaling to $225.90 off a high school ***** for a community service project. Barely 16 years old, I wanted to create a website for a high school project that I would need for only a few months. I bought the yearly plan as it would've been cheaper than paying monthly. After December of 2024, I no longer needed the website and just ignored it completely, thinking that after my subscription expired, my whole experience with Wix would be over. Recently, my dad informed me that I was charged for domain renewal on June 17th, 2025, and for a premium business plan renewal on June 30th, 2025, totaling to $477.90. This time, I was billed for a Wix premium business plan subcription and domain that was double what I paid for a year ago--without needing either the plan or domain nor knowing about any renewal, as if I did, I just would've canceled it. At the time of purchase, I never clicked on autorenewing the plan, as I knew already that I wouldn't need it for more than a few months. Clearly, Wix automatically and sneakily autorenewed my business plan and even increased the price by double. I requested a refund recently, but they denied it, saying that my situation didn't meet their policy. I'm very sad to see Wix taking advantage of a high schooler--by not telling me my plan was going to be renewed but even doubling the price and not offering me a refund.

  Hi ****. In order to prevent any disruption of service to your site, subscriptions for Wix services are set to renew automatically at the end of the subscription period.
  This is outlined in the Wix terms of use agreed upon at the time of purchase. Unfortunately, this falls outside our refund policy and a such there is nothing further we can do regarding this decision.

  I have been automatically charged for the pro plan for 15 monthly installments of $46.54, totalling $698.10. I have tried to cancel my account so many times, it could be a full time job. there is absolutely no way to reach a human being. This is a fake company, all AI driven, it sends you in error driven circles of insanity. I couldnt even cancel my card or account. I sent emails every day to every email I could find, I called and only got robots. This is the most infuriating company on the planet. Its fake and horrible and obviously is making billions off the backs of poor folks who didnt grow up with their brains in tech like me. I read books and we didnt have computers until my 20s. They have a million nicknames for us that are all offensive and they are getting rich off of us, while mocking us, and it is morally deplorable. I have to keep three jobs, as well as the full time job of being a single mother and chronically ill, juggling a million health specialists, getting sued left and right for medical debt, being treated like hot garbage because I am disabled and have grey hair. And these people dont have the hievos to even answer an email or cancel my account?? What happened to basic human decency? ***************** You know I have worked several jobs at a time since I was 13 without complaining. And todays hustle culture is the laziest, richest, morally corrupt, thieves of vulnerability and human decency on a planet that is begging for some humanity and kindness. I have done my work, Ive gotten sick, Im now a shell of a woman, abused raped, hurt beyond repair, PTSD, trying to make my childs future bright. But how? With people like this robbing me blind as I try to make some extra money on the side making art and poetry to heal others, but I cant even get help closing shop when it becomes too much??? SHAME ON YOU! If I had the physical energy, I would sue the h*** out of you. Lucky for you, I have been abused so much that I have nothing left. COLD!

  Hello and thanks for reaching out about this. 
  We have looked into your account and can see that this monthly rated Business plan was previously cancelled on June 30th. 
  You will not be charged for this service again going forward. If you have further questions regrading your past account billing, you can contact our colleagues at wix.com/contact to submit a support request.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

  I require a full refund of all charges incurred while using your services, as I have tried to cancel since the very beginning. Your customer service is nonexistent. Even this reply is a smoke show. For shame! I have tried for over a year in every manner possible to use and then cancel services, so I deserve a full refund, plus my time and services refunded. As stated, I charge $100 per day after the day I changed my card, knowing you would continue to charge me for infity. My full account balance is $698.10 plus 25 days since the account card changed at $100 per day, is an additional $2,500.00, totaling $3198.10. That card is not valid any longer, you were no longer deemed trustworthy, so I can be paid via paper check at my home address or by Venmo, which has been sent to you. Thanks, please add $100 for each additional day you take to respond. This response is accounted for through 7/25/25.

  I am confused as to why Wix cannot send an email to their own billing department internally. Ive already tried contacting them repeatedly. The email I have sent over and over and over and copied everyone on earth on is attached to the BBB file. I grant you permission to share it internally with your billing team which i have BEEN TRYING TO REACH FOR TWO YEARS THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for your help! Lets show off that customer service!!! YOU CAN DO IT I BELIEVE IN YOU! AN ENTIRE ****************** can forward one measly little email better than one woman who has not been able to defeat the circus that your AI TECHNOLOGY BOT OF CIRCULAR MIGRAINES AND DEMENTIA DEMONS has defeated. I cannot try to win this machine again. Your business is winning over my spirit, my ego, my will, my heart, my entire lifetime of work ethic, and motherhood. GREAT JOB! WOW! GO TEAM!!!! I am being sacrcasstic, something you young folks likely do not understand, we learn about it in old films and books, have you heard of these?? Nah, I thought not. Please, forward the email to your billing team on my behalf.

  I am a small business owner who provides legitimate coaching and consulting services and uses Wix Payments as my primary payment processor. On June 4, a client accidentally initiated two chargebacks, which she immediately reversed. Another client experienced external fraud, and her bank flagged two valid payments as suspiciousno dispute was initiated. All payments, totaling $7,997, were valid and authorized.Wix froze my account on June 5 and requested documentation, which I submitted repeatedlyincluding voice recordings, bank confirmations, and signed client statements. Both clients are disabled, one with a spinal cord injury and the other with partial blindness. This makes communicating with banks even more difficult. Despite this, they have made efforts to verify both with their banks and with Wix the validity of these transactions and services rendered. Despite this, Wix has withheld $7,843, removed $230 in processing fees for funds I have not received, and deducted nearly $1,000 from June transactions to "cover a negative balance." They also continue to withhold $994 from the reversed chargebacks, which should have been restored.They have closed out multiple support tickets without valid resolution. Ive received only canned replies and no contact from their Risk or Compliance team despite requesting to speak with a supervisor and escalate it multiple times. Wix has failed to follow its own policies or regulatory standards. The freeze has devastated my business: Im unable to cover essential costs. I am now facing late rent, credit card fees, and reputational damage.I request immediate release of all funds, restoration of my payment capabilities, a full accounting of all deductions, and assurance that my business will not be penalized again for falsely flagged payments. Ive acted in full cooperation and good faith. Wix has not. (I tried to upload the settlement report with all charges, but it won't let me.)

  on 6/29/25 Wix charged $348 to my ****** account without my authorization and refuses to issue a refund, even though I have provided them with evidence that they weren't supposed to remove the funds from my account until 7/4/25 on 6/3/26 Wix sent me an email indicating that the automatic withdrawal for 1 year of service would be removed from my account on 7/4/25 on 6/30/25 I logged into my Wix account to stop the automatic withdrawal and saw that they had already charged my bank $348 without my consent. I stopped automatic withdrawals anyway and contacted the company to refund the money on 6/30/25 all service agents at Wix told me that the refunds are handled "off-line" and that I could not speak with anyone who could process the refund, that the refund could take up to 45 business days, and that there was no way to expedite the process, even though they stole from my account

  I have been a customer of ********************'s for numerous years and currently have a couple of websites. I thought I was going to use a business email address and paid for one of my choice. Shortly after payment, within minutes, I decided I was not going to use it and cancel the purchase and asked for a refund of $84.00. My refund was denied even though I cancel within minutes of purchase and never used the software. I do not believe that it is fair or even legal for a company to keep money and not provide any benefit to the *****. I am requesting help with my refund and an apology from the company.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

  I am very disappointed that Wix has taken the position that once we get your money we are going to keep it - period.
  
  I don't think Wix understood that I cancelled within 15 minutes of purchase without using the service or receiving any benefit. I would understand had I used the service but I did not.
  
  I think this is a very bad look for a company to take money, and keep it, without providing the customer any benefit of using the product.
  
  I surely will never refer Wix to anyone that I know and will certainly never use them in the future.   Any company that treats people like Wix has treated me is a moral failure.  I find it interesting that a company to be so interested in keeping $84 that they do not look at how much they are going to loose in the form of good will in the future.

  We are a small vending machine business that started last year. We used our personal credit card to get started. We used Wix for our we site domain name.A few months after our business started we were able to get an individual to design and maintain our website. I went on Wix to update our account information, including our new credit card that was designated as our payment *********** forward to the present. Wix was able to charge my premium business plan for $432 using the correct credit card on file tied to my Wix account. Howeverthey fraudulently charged the initial credit card that is not on file.When they did this, it resulted in a charge back from my bank. What did Wix do? They cancelled my domain name. A small business loses their domain name over Wix admitting they messed up. And they stated I am not able to purchase it because someone else purchased ***** will take me about $1000 to get a new domain name, set up the website and change all my publications (advertisements, business cards) to the new site.I spoke with their AI chat along with 10 different people for the last week. Including **** who emailed me and said it was my fault because Wix charged the wrong credit card to **** who said there is nothing they can do to correct ***** is for $29.25 and they cannot even change it to the correct credit card that has been on file for the last 8 months.I would avoid Wix at all cost. They are happy they have my money and disrupted the small business.

  My account was hacked on the wix website. someone then gained access to my website editor on the wix website. They then input malicious code in my website. This flagged my website and wix said they will take it down if it doesnt get fixed. The only option to fix this is to pay a 3rd party hundreds of dollars to remove the codes the hacker put in. This web site is for my business i own and I am now losing my website because wix refuses to take responsibility or do anything about it. I want a full refund.

  The email I received states the domain will be free for 1 year with a premium plan, but that is incorrect. Once I chose my domain from the extensions Wix provided, I was informed at checkout that my domain was not free. It is very deceptive to provide this information after my domain was chosen, and there was no option to go back and change the domain. It's very disappointing that a well-known brand like Wix would resort to this type of practice. I believe I am entitled to my free domain as Wix advertised.

  Hello and thanks for reaching out. To clarify, this offer refers to a 1-year free domain voucher which is included with selected yearly premium plans.
  This voucher needs to be manually applied as part of the checkout process when purchasing your domain >> *************************************************************************************
  We have looked into your account, and unfortunately it appears that this domain voucher was not redeemed, which is why you were still charged for the initial year.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

  I received a call back from Wix after submitting the attached chat. ******* said the extension solutions does not qualify for the free domain and there is nothing that can be done.

  I explained that the advertisement nor the steps I had to take to choose and set-up my account and domain, mentions the extension solutions is not part of the free domain.

  This appears to be deceptive practices, especially since once I made my choice, I received the message, "the extension solutions does not qualify for the free domain".

  There's not an option to go back and change the domain. Which means, Wix initial response to my complaint is invalid. It has nothing to do with the voucher and everything to do with Wix not being straight-forth in their advertisements and processes.
