What are the fees for refunding payments?
For refunded payments, standard Wix Payments processing fees apply. For example, in the U.S., if you issue a $100 refund to your customer, the original processing fee of $2.90 + $0.30 for that customer's purchase will not be paid back to your Wix Payments account. No additional refund fees will be charged.
Why are processing fees not refunded when I issue a refund?
Processing fees are non-refundable as they cover the cost of payment processing services. When issuing a refund, you will need to cover the processing fee amount if your Wix Payments balance is insufficient.
I issued a refund, but my customer hasn't received it yet. What should I do?
Allow 3-5 business days for the refund to reach your customer's credit card. If your customer still hasn't received their refund after 3-5 business days, contact us and we'll be happy to assist you further.
I need to issue a refund, but my account has a negative balance. What can I do?
You may need to refund a customer and currently don't have enough funds in your Wix Payments account to cover the return. If your current balance can't cover a specific refund, you'll need to add funds to your Wix Payments account.
Note: Currently, it's not possible to top-up a negative balance for PayPal with Wix Payments. To return to a positive balance for PayPal with Wix Payments, you need to wait for additional PayPal payments to be successfully processed.
