Move Wix pricing plan subscribers to Stripe

By Kayabyte · Facts checked on 13 November 2026

You sell memberships with Wix Pricing Plans and want new and existing members to be billed through your own Stripe account instead. This guide is honest about the hard part: there is no automatic move. Members’ cards are stored by Wix’s payment provider, not by you, so nobody can carry a running Wix subscription over to Stripe. What you can do is run both side by side and let members switch. Here is a plan that does not cut anyone’s access.

In short

Set up Stripe billing next to your Wix plans, so new members subscribe through Stripe.
Ask existing members to subscribe through Stripe, ideally just before their next Wix renewal.
When a member has a Stripe subscription, cancel their Wix-billed plan at its next payment date, not immediately.
Stop selling the Wix-billed plan to new members.
Prices for existing subscribers can be changed later in Stripe.

Why there is no automatic move

A Wix pricing plan subscription is billed by the payment provider connected to your Wix site. The member’s card details sit with that provider. Stripe cannot charge a card it never received, and Wix offers no export of saved cards to another Stripe account. So every existing member has to enter their card once on Stripe Checkout. Plan this as a member communication task, not a data transfer.

Members you bill outside Wix still need a Wix plan for access. Wix lets owners record a plan that was paid outside the site as an offline order; an app or your own code can create and end these orders as Stripe bills. This guide uses Membership Billing for Stripe, our app for this (coming to the Wix App Market). The setup is in Sell memberships on Wix with Stripe subscriptions.

Step 1: run both side by side

Create the Stripe products and recurring prices for your memberships.
Connect Stripe in the app and link each Stripe price to a Wix plan. We suggest Create a hidden access plan for me: the app creates a plan that is not for sale in Wix’s checkout. Then connect that plan to the same pages, Bookings services and programs as your current plan, so members get the same access. Keeping the Stripe-billed and the Wix-billed plan apart also shows you at a glance who has switched.
Add the Membership plans widget to a page, for example “Join” or “Membership”.
Keep the Wix-billed plans running. Nobody loses access in this step.

Step 2: ask existing members to switch

Write to your members (Wix’s Pricing Plans dashboard lists who has which plan). Keep it short and give a reason that matters to them, for example the Stripe billing page where they can update a card, see invoices and switch between monthly and yearly. Tell them:

what they need to do: log in, open the membership page and click Subscribe;
when: before their next Wix renewal date, so they are not charged twice;
that you will cancel their old plan at its next payment date, so they keep access without a gap.

Some members will not switch. You can leave them on the Wix plan for as long as you like; both ways work at the same time.

Step 3: cancel the old Wix plan at its next payment date

When a member has an active Stripe subscription, cancel their Wix-billed plan in the Pricing Plans dashboard and choose to end it at the end of the current payment cycle rather than immediately. The member keeps access until then, the Wix plan does not renew, and the Stripe-linked plan carries on.

If the member paid for a full Wix cycle and also started a Stripe subscription, there is an overlap. Decide up front how you handle it: give a Stripe promotion code that covers the overlap (allow promotion codes in the app’s Settings), or refund the unused Wix period through your Wix payment provider.
Cancelling a Wix plan does not refund anything by itself.
The app does not cancel the Wix-billed order for you; it only manages the plan orders it created.

Step 4: stop selling the Wix-billed plan

Once most members have switched, hide the Wix-billed plan or stop selling it, so new members only see the Stripe option in the widget. Keep the old plan for the members who stayed on it until they leave.

Changing the price for existing subscribers

In Stripe you can change the price of a running subscription: open the subscription in the Stripe Dashboard and update its price, with or without proration. The member keeps their Wix plan as long as the new price is linked to the same Wix plan; if it is linked to another plan, the app ends the old plan and grants the new one. Give members notice before a price rise, as your terms and local consumer rules require.

On the Wix side, see Wix’s help article Changing the price of a subscription for what Pricing Plans offers for its own subscriptions.

A short checklist

Stripe prices created and linked; widget on a page; tested with a test key and Stripe’s test cards.
Wix plans that grant access are connected to the right pages and services.
Member email sent, with the date before which to switch.
For each member who switched: Wix-billed plan cancelled at the end of the cycle.
Old plan hidden from new buyers once the switch is done.

FAQ

Can I move Wix pricing plan subscribers to Stripe automatically? No. The members’ cards are stored by your Wix payment provider, not by you, so each member subscribes once on Stripe Checkout. You can run both side by side while they switch.

Will members lose access while they switch? Not if you cancel their Wix-billed plan at the end of the current payment cycle, after their Stripe subscription is active.

Will members be charged twice? Only if the Stripe subscription starts before the Wix cycle they already paid for ends. Ask members to switch shortly before their Wix renewal, or cover the overlap with a promotion code or a refund.

Can I change the price for existing subscribers? In Stripe, yes: update the price on the subscription. In Wix Pricing Plans, check Wix’s help article on changing the price of a subscription.

Does the app cancel the old Wix plan for me? No. It only manages the plan orders it creates for Stripe subscriptions. You cancel the Wix-billed plan in the Pricing Plans dashboard.
