    I had a website a few years ago with Wix. Ive since canceled my account and no longer use their services. membership. My name is ***** ******, and it appears someone, not me, had created a personal website ***************, and Wix incorrectly pulled the $432 yearly membership from my profile and bank account information. I have no association with ***************, it is not my website. When I called Wix to try and clear up the situation and have the charge reversed, they said they have no record of it on my account which is because I did not sign up for any website. But the money was still taken from my bank account and I have the bank statements to prove it. No one is able to help because they say they are unable to find anything in their system for my website or find my charge, because its not my website and I have no access to it, the only connection is it has my name. It is someone elses website, that they incorrectly charged me for, and I would like a full refund.

    WIX charge us $185.00 for a processing fee. We are a non-profit food ministry and we receive a donation of $5,000.00 to assist us serve the community. It is very hard to receive donations now a days. We need every ***** we can get. Charging $185.00 for 1 transaction is not right my any means. They were not able to provide any documents stating that we agreed to these charges and refuses to refund the money. We understand there is a processing fee when we receive a donation online. But, $185.00 is too much. They are not able to provide any documentation showing we agreed to these charges. Please help, we really need our money back. We are a struggling food Ministry.

    Wix is holding our payout of $13,000+ and refuses to give any information or updates regarding the situation and when our funds will be released. The process says it takes less than 7 days but this has been ongoing for multiple weeks now with no resolution or helpful communication from the Wix Payments team or their Compliance team.

    -Date of transaction: charged on March 25, 2025 -Amount of money paid to business: $607.09 -Business committed to provide: Premium plan service updated, uninterrupted. But I dont understand what new additions they are adding to justify the cost? Seems like the same plan and they didn't explain anything and just auto-renewed at a huge price hike. -Nature of dispute: Full refund, remove my card information from their website (this is not an option), cancel plan (this is not an option just auto renews). Additional Info: The subscription was auto-renewed with a price hike from $378.86 to $627.09 USD. There was lack of notification. I found out because of my credit card statement and had to search in my inbox for the email as it did not come in my main inbox. I contacted Wix and the customer *** and explained the situation to her. She said she couldnt help me and said she would escalate the issue to another team. When I asked what the timeline would look like, I got no answer. They said if I had contacted them up to 2 weeks after the renewal date, they could refund but because its 3 weeks, they said they couldnt. I told them Id rather pay for that month and cancel everything and get my refund but they said they couldnt do that. At this point, I want a free refund and to create awareness. This is extremely unethical and sneaky business practice. I dont even know how to cancel my current plan since they already took the money and refuse to refund me. Again, I also dont know what these new updates to the plans are and if they justify the cost. This was not explained to me.

    We are a 501 (c) 3 charity. We built a website with WIX and then found out afterward that the renewal cost would far exceed our donation income. We asked for a refund of the Premium plan. I as treasurer, talked with a female in some foreign country on the WIX customer support line. She said no problem, but it would take more than 20 days. Today I looked on the WIX site and it said a refund request had to happen in 14 days. I sent in a refund request today and it was denied today. We need this money to continue our charity work. We support off leash dog parks.

    Better Business Bureau:

    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:

    Our website is **********************  I was not given an numbers when I called into customer support.  The person I talked to spoke very poor english.  I had a hard time hearing her.

    Thank you for this information. We see that you initially purchased your 3-year plan as part of a 50% discount promotion.
    As such, when the plan would renew in 3 years time, you would have been charged again at full price, which was outlined in the terms and conditions of the promotion. 

    We also see that you filed a chargeback for your recent purchase on April 13th, which will require our billing team to investigate further.
    Due to this, you will need to follow up with our billing team regarding this matter at wix.com/contact.

    The company Wix raised the renewal rate by 200 dollars ish ******* , allegedly sent some email that we never saw. the charge even was flagged as fraud by our credit card company, we immediately contacted them and they said since we didn't cancel 30 days ago they will charge us for the 3 years. I tried resolving it with them for about 20 min and they refused to do anything about it.

    Locked out of my account I have multiple websites with WIX. My nonprofit website is locked due to a bad email and I have an updated business cell number. So I can't 2 factor. It's been almost 10 days I have been trying to get in. I have filled out a recovery form. Been contacted via email 4x but apparently emailing them through the email I am paying them from has been wrong. They want a email from the email address that does not exist since it was with an old internet provider. I have uploaded a copy of my passport and verified the credit card I pay from. The chat bot is useless. I can't get a live chat unless I am log in. The last correspondence from a "support" every other sentence had!!!!! After it. I only used my old email as a log in name, I thought my business email I am paying for through wix was the email they would correspond through. Regardless, this has costed my non profit money. My website for a cat rescue is being held hostage. There is zero customer service numbers. A phone call could have settled this in 10 minutes. And any #s posted on other chat rooms like Reddit go no where. I want access to the website I am paying for or I want my account closed with no further payments deducted.
