Wix Retail POS plans for your clients
Starting October 23, 2023, there will be new plans for clients who purchase Wix Retail POS for the first time.
Retail Lite and Retail Pro will be the two new Wix Retail POS plans available. From October 23, 2023, if your client purchases Retail POS, they will automatically receive the Retail Lite plan for free. This plan lets your clients accept in-person payments with Wix Payments, manage two staff members, allow returns and more.
If your clients would like to add more staff members and get extra features like advanced reporting and time tracking reports, they can upgrade to the Retail Pro plan. With this plan, your clients can offer exchanges and allow customers to redeem loyalty points and more.
Note: these new plans will not apply to your clients who have been using Wix Retail POS prior to October 23, 2023 - they can continue using POS as usual which will include the same benefits as the new pro plan. Read more here
