FIPS 140-2-certified HSM for PCI environment.

Free: AI tools but Wix branding, no payments. Light: Custom domain, no payments. Core+: Full eCommerce and donations. Business Elite and Enterprise: HIPAA compliance with BAA (launched January 2026, expanded April 2026). Lower tiers NOT HIPAA compliant.
Healthcare nonprofits: HIPAA compliance with BAA now available on Business Elite and Enterprise plans. Standard plans (Free through Business) cannot be used for sites collecting patient data.
TechSoup discount now covers Core (~$8.70/mo), Business (~$11.70/mo), and Business Elite (~$47.70/mo) at 70% off 2-year subscriptions. Wix Studio plans get 30% off. One discount code per org, new subscribers only — does not apply to renewals. Confirmed current via TechSoup's own June 2026 blog post.
Wix launched native HIPAA compliance tools in January 2026 and expanded the solution in April 2026 to more users across the U.S. and Europe. Business Elite and Enterprise subscribers can activate PHI Protection and sign a BAA directly in their dashboard. Lower tiers (Free through Business) remain non-compliant. Only native Wix apps are covered under the BAA — third-party App Market apps require separate vetting.
Websites built on Wix cannot be exported or transferred to another platform. You're 'renting' your site. Consider this before investing heavily.
Wix launched Wix Harmony, its new flagship AI website builder, combining natural-language 'vibe coding' with full drag-and-drop visual editing. Its AI agent, Aria, generates entire sites, pages, or sections from natural-language prompts and continuously assists inside the editor. Wix has since expanded its named AI agent lineup to include Kleo (marketing/SEO), Juno (customer engagement/inbox), and Omni (business task automation), alongside standalone tools like AI image generation, meta tag creation, and product descriptions.
SOC 2 Type II, PCI DSS Level 1, ISO 27001/27017/27018/27701/27799 certified. Free SSL (TLS 1.2+) on all sites. AES-256 encryption at rest. Same security infrastructure for all plans. A critical-impact XSS vulnerability (CVE-2026-2276) was disclosed and remediated server-side by Wix in February 2026, with no confirmed evidence of exploitation.

For organizations with 5+ staff
Core plan at ~$8.70/mo with TechSoup is exceptional value. Full donation forms, event management, and eCommerce. Strong security. If healthcare-adjacent, Business Elite (~$47.70/mo with TechSoup) now supports HIPAA with BAA. Main ongoing concern is vendor lock-in. Organizations exploring the new Wix Harmony/Aria AI builder should review generated content before publishing, as with any AI drafting tool.
For organizations with fewer than 5 staff
Free plan works for testing. Core (~$8.70/mo with TechSoup) is the recommended paid entry point — required for accepting donations. Very affordable with discount.
For health data or vulnerable populations
CONDITIONAL — UPGRADED FROM 'NOT RECOMMENDED'. As of January 2026 (expanded April 2026), Wix offers native HIPAA compliance with BAA on Business Elite (~$47.70/mo with TechSoup discount) and Enterprise plans. Requires activating PHI Protection and signing BAA in dashboard. Only native Wix apps (Forms, Bookings) are covered under BAA — third-party App Market apps are NOT covered and require separate vetting. For straightforward healthcare websites needing PHI collection, Business Elite with BAA is now a viable option. For complex health systems requiring broader PHI handling, consult a compliance professional.
