You built your Wix site. Adding a compliant checkout is a different job — and you do not need to upgrade your Wix plan to do it.
The short answer
Wix eCommerce is the shop extension built into Wix — it adds a catalogue and cart to your existing Wix site and requires a Business plan. bookto checkout is a standalone payment page per product that works independently of Wix. Link to it from your site — no store setup, no plan upgrade.
Many freelancers and small business owners build their website on Wix — it is quick, visual, and no-code. At some point they want to sell something: a coaching package, a workshop, a digital download. Wix offers eCommerce, but enabling it requires upgrading to a Business plan and setting up a full store: product pages, a cart, payment settings, and ongoing management.
bookto checkout connects to your Wix site with a link. Keep your Wix site exactly as it is. Add a button to your page that links to your bookto checkout URL. Your client pays through a professionally designed checkout page, and the money lands in your own Mollie account. No store setup. No Wix plan upgrade.

Wix eCommerce is the shop module built into the Wix website builder — it adds a product catalogue, shopping cart, and inventory management to your Wix site. bookto checkout is a standalone checkout page per product that works independently of any website builder. You can link to it from your Wix site, but you do not need to set up a Wix store to use it.
Yes — and for most professionals, it is the simpler path. Keep your Wix site as it is. Add a button or link on your Wix page that points to your bookto checkout URL. Your client lands on the checkout page, pays, and receives a confirmation email. No Wix eCommerce setup, no monthly Wix Business plan upgrade, no cart logic to configure.
Wix supports iDEAL and Bancontact through their payment integrations, but availability depends on your Wix plan and region configuration. bookto checkout supports iDEAL, Bancontact, SEPA, and credit cards natively through Mollie — the payment provider most Belgian and Dutch buyers and accountants are already familiar with.
Wix eCommerce requires a Wix Business plan or higher, which starts at around €17–€25/month depending on your region and plan. bookto checkout starts at €7/month and works independently of any website platform — you do not need a Wix plan to use it.
Yes. bookto checkout gives you a standalone URL per product. You can share it anywhere — your Wix site, a bio link, an email, a social post, or a WhatsApp message. No website of any kind is required.
Wix eCommerce makes sense if you already use Wix to run your website and want an integrated shop experience — product gallery, shopping cart, and store management all inside Wix. If you need a large catalogue or want your shop design to match your Wix template exactly, Wix eCommerce is the natural extension. bookto checkout is the right choice if you want to get a payment page live quickly, without upgrading your Wix plan or configuring a full store.
