Business infrastructure that scales at your pace.

1. Choose a domain name for your store that represents your brand. Make it short, easy to remember and something that is SEO (Search Engine Optimization) friendly so that you will show up organically in search engine results.
2. Choose the best eCommerce Wix plan that will suit your business needs. You have 3 options to choose from: Core, Business, and Business Elite. Look carefully at each plan and think about what your future needs may be and if the plan will allow you to grow your business the way you want.
3. Use either the Wix ADI or the Wix Editor to design your website. With the Wix Editor, you have over 120 designer-made eCommerce templates to choose from.
4. Add the products you want to sell. If you're selling tangible items, you'll want to have high quality images of your products. You can opt to hire a photographer to do this for you, or there are many product photography tutorials on the internet that you can use to help get the quality images you need.
5. Connect to payment providers and set up shipping rules. With Wix, you can activate Wix Payments to instantly start accepting all the major credit/debit cards, alongside digital wallets and other popular forms of payment. Wix Payments also lets you manage your entire business from one place, whether you're looking to review orders or schedule your payouts. With Wix, you can run your store in Canadian currency, add retail sales tax like HST/GST/QST/PST, control sales tax by province, add real-time shipping rates from Canada Post, automate emails after purchase and ensure compliance with Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation.
6. Set up shipping and delivery. While offering a variety of payment methods will help you convert shoppers, an outstanding shipping and delivery experience will help bring them back to you and refer you to their friends.
7. Publish your eCommerce site and start attracting customers!

A site collaborator or contributor is someone that the Account Owner has invited to work on a site. The Account Owner can add teammates (collaborators or contributors) to their account, and assign them different roles, permissions and access levels.

No, you do not need a separate hosting plan or SSL certificate if you use Wix to build and host your website. Wix provides web hosting and SSL certificates as part of its all-in-one website builder platform.

When you create a website with Wix, your website is automatically hosted on Wix's servers, which means that you do not need to purchase separate web hosting with Webnames. Wix also includes an SSL certificate with both plans, which helps ensure that your website is secure and encrypted.

Wix's SSL certificate provides HTTPS encryption for your website, which is important for protecting sensitive information such as passwords, credit card details, and other personal data. This is especially important if you are running an online store or collecting customer information through your website.

You can track and analyze your site's performance directly within your Wix dashboard using the built-in Wix Analytics tool. To access it, go to your site's dashboard and click on "Analytics & Reports." Here, you can view key metrics like visitor count, traffic sources, popular pages, and user behaviour. For more advanced tracking, you can integrate Google Analytics (or a similar tool) by adding your GA4 measurement in Wix's "Marketing Integrations" settings. This allows for deeper analysis and campaign tracking beyond Wix's native tools.
