Wix Forms: Adding and Setting Up a Subscribe Form
Build your mailing list with a subscribe form. Subscribe forms allow site visitors to sign up for your newsletter, special offers, business updates or more. Once they fill out the form they are automatically added to your contact list with a 'Subscriber' label.
You can also add a 'subscribe to mailing list' form field to any standalone form. Send the unique URL to potential subscribers rather than directing them to your site.
To add a subscribe form to your site:

on the left side of the editor.
Click Contact & Forms.
Scroll down to the Subscribe section and drag a form onto your site.
Click Settings.

Layout
Drag the slider to adjust the forms side padding, top and bottom padding, and spacing between rows and columns to align your form to meet your needs.
Design
