TLS (Transport Layer Security) is the standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. This link ensures that all data passed between the web server and browsers remain private and secure. TLS is the industry standard and is used by millions of websites in the protection of their online transactions with their customers.

Additionally, Wix Stores only works with payment gateways that offer the highest level of security certification (PCI DSS Level 1).

You can use this service even if you do not want to sign up for an account of your own. Making payments with PayPal is free of charge for the buyer. The person or business receiving the money is responsible for paying any PayPal transaction fees.
