Wix Restaurants pricing: the plans you need, the order fees and what a month costs
Wix Restaurants is not a separate product with its own price list: it is a set of apps (menus, orders, table reservations) that you add to a Wix site, and online ordering needs a paid Wix premium plan. Plans are quoted from about $17 a month billed yearly up to about $159 a month, and sources disagree on whether Wix takes a per-order fee at all: one says 2.9% to 4.5% depending on the plan, another says none [1] [2] [3]. Card processing is a separate charge. Check Wix's own page for the plan you are about to buy.
If you want a menu page that takes pickup orders with no monthly plan to compare, you can build a free menu site from a photo of your menu. Below: what you pay for the site, what the ordering app adds, how the fee question changes the maths, a month worked out three ways, and what to check on Wix before you build.
What you pay Wix before any order comes in
Three costs sit under any Wix restaurant site:
- A premium plan. The free Wix plan shows Wix ads and cannot use your own domain. Online ordering needs a premium plan [2] [4]. A 2026 overview puts Wix's general plans at about $17 a month on the entry plan, billed annually, up to $159 on the top one [4].
- A domain. Usually about $12 to $20 a year, and often free for the first year with an annual plan. See our guide on what a restaurant website costs for the usual ranges.
- Card processing. Orders paid by card pay a payment fee to whoever processes the payment. This is true on any platform.
Prices are different for each region and change with offers, and the monthly price is lower when you pay for a year at once. Add it up with the annual price in mind, and remember a yearly plan is paid in one go.
What the restaurant apps add
Wix's restaurant apps handle the pieces a restaurant site needs: a menu you edit as text, an orders app for pickup and delivery, and a reservations app. Wix's support pages describe a service fee you can add to online orders, which the guest pays, and note that Wix has released a newer online ordering app next to the original Orders app [5]. That matters because older articles describe the old app. If a post says "Wix online ordering costs $9 a month", look at its date.
Does Wix charge a commission on orders?
The sources do not agree. A guide from Website Builder Insider says Wix Restaurants charges a per-order fee between 2.9% and 4.5%, depending on the plan [2]. Another page about Wix online ordering says there are no transaction fees [3]. One likely reason is that the two describe different versions of the ordering app, or card processing in one case and a platform fee in the other. Until you see the fee on Wix's own pricing page for your country and plan, plan for the higher one and be pleased if it is lower. Either way it is not the 15% to 30% a delivery app takes (see DoorDash commission for restaurants).
Wix plan ladder in plain terms
| What you want | What you need | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| A menu and hours page on your own domain | An entry premium plan | Domain included for the first year |
| Orders for pickup on the site | A premium plan that supports the ordering app | The per-order fee, if any, and the card rate |
| Delivery orders | The same, plus your own drivers or a courier | Who delivers, who pays |
| Table reservations | The reservations app | Whether it is free or has a fee per cover |
Wix does not deliver food. If you offer delivery through the site, you handle it yourself or through a courier service, the same as with most builders.
A month of online orders, three sizes
We worked a month of online pickup orders at an average of $30, so you can see the fee that matters. Because the sources disagree, each row uses two readings: "no platform fee" with only card processing, and "platform fee" at the 2.9% bottom of the range [2]. We assumed a card rate of 2.9% + 30¢ on each order, which is a common online rate; check the real one on your account. The plan fee is left out because it is the same either way.
| Online sales a month | Orders | Card fees only | Card fees + 2.9% platform fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| $3,000 | 100 | $117 | $204 |
| $9,000 | 300 | $351 | $612 |
| $20,000 | 667 | $780 | $1,360 |
The sums: at $9,000 and 300 orders, 2.9% is $261 and 300 × 30¢ is $90, so $351. The platform fee reading adds another 2.9% of $9,000, which is $261, so $612. The difference is the whole question: at $20,000 a month it is $580. Compare that with the 15% to 30% a delivery app takes, which on $20,000 is $3,000 to $6,000. Both readings of Wix are far cheaper than a marketplace. But the second reading is no cheaper than a flat-fee platform once volume grows.
Where Wix fits, and where it does not
Wix suits an owner who wants to design a site by hand and is happy to spend a weekend on it. The drag-and-drop editor is flexible, and the restaurant apps cover a menu, orders and bookings in one place. It is weaker where a restaurant needs speed: you build every page, you keep the menu up to date yourself, and there is no one to call who knows restaurants.

What to check on Wix before you build
- Which ordering app is it? The original Orders app or the newer one. Ask which one new sites get.
- Which plan is the ordering on? The cheapest plan may not include it.
- Is there a per-order fee, and who pays it? The restaurant or the guest.
- What is the card rate in my country?
- What does the yearly renewal cost? Intro prices often rise at renewal.
- Can I export my menu and orders if I leave?
Mistakes owners make with a Wix restaurant site
- Building before pricing. The site is quick to start, and the plan, the domain and the ordering fee are only clear at checkout. Price all three first.
- Using a picture of the menu. A photo or PDF cannot be read by Google and is hard to tap on a phone. Use the menu app, which keeps text you can search and edit.
- Forgetting the mobile view. Most guests open a restaurant site on a phone, standing outside. Check the menu, phone number and hours on a phone before you publish.
- Letting the menu go stale. If prices change and the site does not, guests see the old price and argue at the counter. Pick one person who edits it, and a day each month to check it.
- Skipping the Google profile. A site alone does not make you show up on the map. Link it from your Google Business Profile and put the order link there too.
When a flat-fee platform beats Wix
Under the high reading of the fee (2.9% on top of card processing), a flat-fee platform costs less once online sales pass a certain point. At $9,000 a month the extra platform fee is $261; a flat plan at $100 to $170 a month is cheaper from there. Under the low reading (no platform fee), Wix stays cheaper at every size, because you pay for the plan and the card only. So the first job is to find out which reading is true for your account. The second is to count your own online sales for a month, then pick. Our guides on ChowNow pricing and Popmenu pricing give the flat-fee side.
