< Back Managing your business Building your community Site Members: Managing the Confirmation Email Sent to Your Members For an added layer of security, new site members are required to confirm their email address. This can help protect your site from attacks by bots and spammers. When a visitor tries to create a member account with an email address that already exists in your contacts, we send them a confirmation email. In the email, we ask them to click a link to confirm their email address. You have the option to request confirmation from: Only new members who are already in your contacts : Contacts are automatically created, for example, when someone purchases something from your site. With the toggle disabled, only new site members who are already in your contacts will need to confirm their email. This is the default email confirmation status and cannot be disabled. Everyone who signs up : All new site members will be asked to confirm their email address. We recommend enabling this for added security. Important: Site members who sign up using Google or Facebook for email confirmation are not required to verify their accounts as these social login providers are deemed trustworthy. Requiring all new members to confirm their email address You can choose to require all new site members to confirm their email address before they can join. This can help to improve the security of your site. If the member is required to confirm their email, you receive new site member notifications only after the site member confirms their email address. This reduces spam in your notifications. Important: Make sure to keep the email type Business critical . The business-critical email type ensures that emails are sent to your members regardless of their consent to receive promotional emails. To require all new members to confirm their email: Go to Signup & Login Security in your site's dashboard. Scroll down to Ask new members to confirm their email . Enable the toggle next to Everyone who signs up . Note : You can disable this toggle at any time. If you do so, only new site members who are already in your contacts will need to confirm their email. Click Save . Customizing the confirmation email You can customize the site member confirmation email to match your style and brand. Add images, change the text, and use dynamic values for a more personalized touch. Learn more about customizing automated emails . To customize the confirmation email: Go to Automations in your site's dashboard. Click the App automations tab. Find the automation titled Send email confirmation to site members . Click the More Actions icon next to the automation and select Edit . Click the Send an email action to open the panel. Click Edit in the Create an email section of the panel. Edit the contents of the email: Subject line: Click Edit next to the subject line to adjust it. You can click + Personalize to add dynamic values to the subject line. Text: Click the text element(s) you want to edit and adjust the text. Then use the panel on the left to adjust the formatting or design.

< Back Need more help? Solving performance and technical issues Site Performance: About Core Web Vitals Core Web Vitals are a set of three metrics that assess the experience visitors have when browsing your site. These metrics measure the loading time, interactivity, and visual stability of your site. Search engines like Google consider Core Web Vitals when determining the ranking of your site. Enhancing these metrics boosts your site's visibility in search results and also improves your visitors' browsing experience. What are the Core Web Vitals? Core Web Vitals are important as they measure your site's performance with data from real world usage and visitor experience, as well as lab data from simulated sessions. They display how your site is currently performing, and can provide insights on areas that may need improvement. The three Core Web Vitals currently in use by Google are as follows: Largest Contentful Paint (LCP): An indication of a site's loading time - more specifically, how long it takes for the largest content element in the site's viewport to load. Interaction to Next Paint (INP): An assessment of your site's responsiveness to all click, tap, and keyboard interactions that occur throughout each visit on every page. The final INP value is the longest interaction observed. Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS): A measurement of unexpected movements of elements that change the layout of the page. These vitals, along with other measurements, accumulate to provide an overall score for your site's pages. Improving the Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) metric The Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) measures the time it takes for the browser to load and display the largest element, excluding background images. Consider the following information when working to improve your LCP metric: Text-based LCP elements: For text-based LCP elements, prioritizing quick loading is key. Opting for system fonts can significantly improve performance. However, if a custom font is necessary, we recommend utilizing the WOFF2 format for optimal results. Tip: In the Studio Editor, enable Default Fonts if your LCP relies on text and includes a custom font. Image-based LCP elements: For image-based LCP elements, it's best to upload images in either JPG or WebP formats. JPGs, in particular, can offer substantial file size reductions, up to 10 times lighter than PNGs. Other tips: To streamline the loading process and enhance the experience of your visitors, keep your webpage design simple and minimize unnecessary content. Consider placing heavy elements such as galleries, videos, and store widgets below the fold to prioritize faster loading for critical content. Avoid animating your LCP elements, as animations like fade-in effects only initiate once your site has fully loaded. Improving the Interaction to Next Paint (INP) metric Enhancing the Interaction to Next Paint (INP) metric involves simple steps to streamline your site's performance. To improve your site's INP metric: Review any third-party code snippets added to your site. You can easily review and manage these snippets within the Custom Code Settings , Marketing Integrations , and scripts associated with third-party apps . Consider removing any code that doesn't provide clear value to your site's functionality. Limit the number of apps and widgets on each page. Pages overloaded with applications and widgets tend to be more complex and prone to issues. Simplify your pages whenever possible, and refrain from excessive use of applications and widgets that aren't essential to your site's purpose. Improving the Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) metric Improving the Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) metric involves making simple changes to keep your site's layout stable. To improve your site's CLS metric: Consider reorganizing your site's DOM order : Wix Editor: The DOM order is automatically structured for left-to-right scripts. However, if your site uses a right-to-left script such as Arabic or Hebrew, you'll need to manually adjust the DOM order in the Layers panel. Studio Editor: Wix Studio sites have an automatic DOM order, with the option to review and adjust the order of the components via the Layers panel . Update ad placements to minimize their impact on CLS. Placing banner ads at the top of the page can disrupt layout stability. Instead, consider positioning ad components below the fold, such as with Google AdSense ads , to reduce CLS issues. Performance measuring tools You can use various tools to gain insights into your site's performance. These tools typically include real visitor data and estimated lab data. Important: We highly recommend focusing on real visitor data. You can view this data in two places: the Wix Site Speed dashboard's "Real Visitor Experience" section and Google PageSpeed Insights' "Core Web Vitals Assessment" section. Use these metrics to best understand what your site visitors experience when they load and navigate your site. Click below for more info about performance measurement tools: Wix Site Speed dashboard The Site Speed dashboard reveals your site's current loading speed and offers actionable tips to enhance page loading. The dashboard consists of two main sections: Real visitor experience: This section presents data based on the actual experiences of your site visitors during loading. You can view the average speed of your entire site and a breakdown of each page's average speed. Average scores are derived from data collected over the past 30 days. It can take at least two weeks to see substantial metric improvements. Note: Unlike Google PageSpeed Insights, which only includes Chrome browser visits, this data comes from Wix Analytics and includes visits from all browsers. Google PageSpeed simulation: This estimates how well your site performs using Google Lighthouse. It pretends to load your site on a slow mobile connection. This can help if your site doesn't get enough visitors for the Real Visitor Experience section to show data. Learn more about using the Site Speed dashboard for tips on improving performance. Google PageSpeed Insights Google PageSpeed Insights checks how well your site's pages perform on desktop and mobile. It uses the Chrome User Experience (CrUX) report to study real visitor performance. To give your page a Performance Score, this tool uses Google Lighthouse. You can also get constructive suggestions for areas of improvement. Learn more about improving your site's performance with Google PageSpeed Insights . Core Web Vitals Report Core Web Vitals are included as a displayed metric in both Google PageSpeed Insights and Lighthouse reports. To view Core Web Vitals as a separate report, you can open them in your Google Search Console. To view a Core Web Vitals report in your Google Search Console: Open your Google Search Console . Select a property (domain). Click Core Web Vitals under Experience . Select either the mobile or desktop report. Note: Google only generates Core Web Vitals reports for sites with sufficient traffic. Other third-party testing tools Wix sites are built differently compared to traditional HTML sites. When using external performance tools, keep these factors in mind: Wix cannot guarantee the accuracy of third-party tests. External speed tests use a "black box" approach that only analyzes external features, so results can vary depending on the tool used. The amount of content on your site determines the number of certain files (.js, .woff, etc.). Changes you make to your site's content also impacts the number of files. Some fixes suggested by third parties may be beyond your control. While certain changes may not be possible on your end, Wix is constantly working to improve performance. To optimize your site's performance and loading time, we recommend following our best practices guidelines . The difference between mobile and desktop scores When reviewing your site's Core Web Vitals, you'll receive two distinct reports: one for mobile and another for desktop. It is likely that the two overall scores will be different. A few factors contribute to this normal difference in scores between mobile and desktop, including: Mobile devices usually have slower processors than desktops. Mobile networks (like 3G, 4G, LTE, and 5G) can be slower than WiFi or ethernet connections used by desktop devices. Core Web Vitals and SEO Core Web Vitals are crucial indicators of your site's performance and are among the various factors considered for your site's SEO ranking. The performance SEO boost is applied to mobile and desktop pages separately. Each page, whether mobile or desktop, can receive up to three boosts, one for each Core Web Vital: Good: Indicates the metric scores earn a Full SEO boost (green). Needs Improvement: Indicates the metric scores earn a Partial SEO boost (yellow). Poor: Indicates the metric scores receive No SEO boost (red). For instance, a mobile page might get a partial SEO boost for LCP and INP, but a full boost for CLS. Meanwhile, the desktop version of the same page might receive a full SEO boost for each metric. Your Core Web Vitals Assessment will show as ‘Failed’ unless you receive a ‘Good’ score for all three Core Web Vital metrics . This does not mean the page hasn't received a boost, as each metric contributes a boost independently. Google Search always aims to display the most relevant content, even if the page experience isn't perfect. For most queries, there is a lot of helpful content available. So having a great page experience can contribute to success in search ranking. Content remains the most important factor in maintaining your SEO score. We recommend optimizing your site's content, as well as updating your page's meta tags. Learn more SEO best practices . FAQs Click below for answers to the most common questions about Core Web Vitals. Why haven't my site's metrics improved after I made changes? After making changes to your site, we recommend waiting at least 3 weeks to see meaningful metric improvements. Although, the full effect will not be seen until the collection period has passed and all your page views are on the updated site. Collection periods: Wix Site Speed dashboard: 30 days Google PageSpeed Insights: 28 days If you’re following our performance best practices , but your metrics aren’t improving, please contact us for assistance. How could my site's performance have gotten worse since INP replaced FID? Since INP replaced FID, the experience your visitors have while interacting with your site has not changed. The only difference is which metric Google uses to determine your site’s performance. With the INP metric’s increased visibility, Wix is striving to optimize your site's performance and develop new ways to improve loading time. What should I do if my speed score is low despite optimization? If you've already followed all optimization tips but still have a low score: Check your site's performance in Wix's Site Speed dashboard for real user data. Review your site's third-party code and apps for potential issues. If your score is still low, contact Wix Customer Care . Our team can review your site and may involve the Loading Time team for deeper analysis. This article is credited to the Wix team - https://support.wix.com/ and we thank them for that!

< Back Studio, Partners & Enterprise Wix Studio Studio Editor: Working with an Advanced CSS Grid In the Studio Editor, you can use an advanced CSS grid to organize the layout of elements and sections. You can choose the number of rows and columns you want, and set their size using responsive measurements (e.g. fr, Min/max, %). Go to our Wix Studio Academy to check out additional Wix Studio webinars, tutorials, and courses. Switching from section grid to a CSS grid Sections in the editor come a built-in section grid. It's an easy-to-use version of the advanced grid, based on the same CSS logic. Switching to an advanced CSS grid gives you more precise control of the layout per breakpoint. Note: Once you make the switch, it is not possible to go back to a section grid. However, if you just performed the action, you can use the Undo button at the top right of the editor. To switch from section grid to a CSS grid: Select the relevant section. Click the Open Inspector icon at the top right of the editor. Scroll down to Layout . Click Switch next to Advanced CSS grid . Click Switch to CSS Grid . What's next? Customize the rows, columns and spacing from the Inspector panel. You can also drag grid lines on the canvas to move them. Applying a CSS grid on other elements You can apply a CSS grid to container, popup, flexbox and repeater items. Specifically in the repeater element, once you apply a grid to one item, the rest update automatically. To apply a CSS grid: Select the relevant element in the editor. Click the More Actions icon . Click Apply Advanced CSS Grid . Choose a layout from the 1x1 drop-down. Tip: Select Other if you want to set your own number of rows and columns. What's next? Customize the rows, columns and spacing from the Inspector panel. You can also drag grid lines on the canvas to move them. Customizing a CSS grid Customize your grid to get the exact layout you want. You can change the number of rows and columns, adjust their size and the gaps between them. To customize a CSS grid: Select the relevant element or section. Choose how you want to customize the grid: Choose a different layout The drop-down that lets you choose a new layout is available in 2 places: On the element In the Inspector panel The list of available layouts is based on the current number of rows and columns, suggesting different ways to organize the cells. Add more rows and columns Create the grid in a visual manner, looking at your existing layout while adding rows and columns. This doesn't change the elements' placement. Click the Customize grid on canvas icon . Drag from the left or upper edges of the grid to add new lines. Tip: You can add more rows and columns from the Inspector panel as well. Hover over the relevant row / column and click the More actions icon to see this option. This might move elements around to create enough space for the new row or column. Change the size of your columns or rows There are 2 ways to change the size of the rows or columns on your grid: In the Inspector panel: Enter the size and unit next to the relevant column / row number. On the page: Drag the handles on the horizontal and vertical gridlines to the position you want. Tip: You can click the Customize grid on canvas icon to drag the gridlines without affecting the elements' position. Delete a column or row Click the More actions icon next to an existing column or row. Click Delete column / Delete row . Edit the size of the gaps You can change the size of the gaps between the grid rows and columns by entering new values next to Gaps . Note: It is not possible to remove a CSS grid from a section. If you delete all of the rows / columns, the grid reverts to 1x1. Working with breakpoints: Your design cascades from desktop to the smaller breakpoints. We recommend tailoring the grid to each breakpoint to ensure the composition of your elements is flawless. In the example below, we set a different layout per breakpoint (3 columns on desktop vs. 3 rows on tablets). Positioning elements in a grid While adding elements to the grid, several tools can help you set their placement more accurately. Docking elements Docking elements to the gridlines ensures they're positioned exactly as you want. In the Studio Editor, all elements are automatically docked, but you can adjust the docking manually and add margins. Moving elements between grid cells Under the Position section in the Inspector, you can select an element and see the grid cell it's in. Click any grid cell to move the element there, without having to use drag-and-drop. You can also enter the specific column and row numbers, which is useful when you need to place an element over multiple grid cells. Table of grid units Use the whole range of CSS units to create your grid. You can set the size of the columns and rows using percentages, fractions or pixels. Alternatively, set the minimum and maximum size of the columns and rows, or use calculations to create the grid you require. Percentage (%) Set the size of the columns/rows to take up a certain percentage of the grid. For example, if you set a row to 25%, it takes up 25% of the grid height. If you set a column to 10%, it takes up 10% of the grid width. Fraction (fr) Set the size of your columns/rows to be a fraction of the size of the parent container. For example, in a grid of 2 columns where the left column is set to 2fr and the right one is set to 1fr, the left column will take up 2/3 of the parent container. Auto The height and width of the rows and columns are automatically set to fit the content inside them. Pixels (px) Set the size of your columns/rows to be a fixed number of screen pixels. Viewport width and height (vw and vh) Viewport is the visitor's browser window. You can set the size of columns or rows to be a percentage of the viewport width or height (accordingly). Min and Max content Set the size of your columns/rows to never get smaller than the minimum content. Min/max This option lets you enter the minimum and maximum size of the row/column. Calculation Write a formula to automatically calculate the size of a row/column. Dealing with overlapping elements?

< Back Need more help? Solving performance and technical issues Site Performance: Optimizing Your Text Optimize text on your site to improve the visitor experience. Font types, effects, and formatting can impact your site's performance, so we recommend following our guidelines to ensure you can display important information without compromising on function. Tip: Having meaningful text above the fold also ensures that visitors have content to read while the rest of the site loads. Different types of fonts There are a few font types that you can use across your site. Depending on the type and download requirements, they vary in how they affect your site's loading speed and performance. The three font types are: System fonts: These are common fonts that most likely already exist on your and your visitors' device systems. As they are included in most systems, they do not need to be downloaded to appear on your visitors' devices, and therefore do not impact your site's performance. Custom fonts: Custom fonts are fonts that you can upload from any third party to use on your Wix site. These fonts are a personal way to enrich your site experience, but they require download from the server to appear in your visitor's browser. Therefore, these fonts can impact your site's performance. Fonts available from Wix: When you build and edit your site with Wix, you may notice that we offer a variety of text fonts. Some of these are system fonts while others act as custom fonts, and they affect your site's loading speed accordingly. To sum it up: System fonts ultimately load faster than custom fonts, as they already exist in the system. This therefore saves bandwidth by reducing the number of requests needed to load your site. Since system fonts have less of an impact on your site's speed, we recommend using them in place of custom fonts where possible. Number of fonts When using fonts across your site, it's important to keep in mind that having multiple different fonts and font types can impact the loading time and overall performance. While system fonts do not require download, custom fonts need to be downloaded from the server in order to be displayed on your page. Different custom fonts may also have different download speeds, which can further affect your site's loading time. We recommend keeping the number of fonts (both system and custom) on your page at 3 and below, as this helps to keep your site running smoothly. Consistency in fonts (and colors) also helps to reinforce your brand, and keep your site's look consistent. Note: Performance tools may show more fonts than you expect because different font weights and styles can count separately, and some elements may still use other or fallback fonts. To reduce the font count, check the font settings for each element type individually, such as headings, body text, buttons, and navigation. Font formatting and animation Different font weights, such as bold, underline, or italics, may also impact your site's loading time. Try to keep the number of font weights on a page at 3 or below by using them for specific purposes (i.e., highlighting an area of text on your page). Additionally, animated text can have an impact on your text's readability and SEO. This is because animated text cannot be read by search engines. We recommend using regular text for meaningful content on your site, and avoiding overuse of reveal animations above the fold. Images of text Avoid images that contain text where possible. Image text may appear blurry while the image is loading, and cannot be translated or crawled by search engines. Ensure that you're using standard text where possible across your site to maintain your site performance and SEO ranking. Tip: As an alternative, we recommend adding alt text to your images . This allows search engines and screen readers to "read" the description of the image. Fallback fonts in the Studio Editor Note: This feature is only available in the Studio Editor. If you're using heavy custom fonts on a Studio Editor site, you can enable default fallback fonts. Fallback fonts load faster, and are temporarily displayed on the live site while the custom fonts download in the background. Fallback fonts can optimize page performance by reducing the site's LCP (Largest Contentful Paint), which may improve the Core Web Vitals and Google Search ranking . Additionally, displaying text content faster can enhance the experience for visitors while they browse the site. Learn how to enable fallback fonts Good to know: Fallback fonts improve the loading time if the largest element above-the-fold is a text element. When you enable fallback fonts, it adds a "swap" value to the font-display CSS descriptor. This descriptor determines how a font is displayed based on when it is downloaded and ready to use.

FAQs Click a question below to learn more about managing your program collaborators. Can I invite collaborators before assigning them to a specific program? Yes. You can invite collaborators to your Wix site without immediately adding them to a program. This is like giving them a "Welcome to the site!" tour first. This gives you time to organize your online program before inviting someone in. It also makes managing your collaborators easier, especially if they will take part in several programs. You can invite them once and then add them to different programs as needed. On the collaborators' side, it's giving them time to set up their profile before they join a program. This means they'll feel more familiar with the site and prepared to participate when the program begins. Can I change the terms collaborators are named? Yes. You can change the term for the instructor role in the visitor page element in your editor. Go to your editor . Click Pages & Menu on the left side of the editor. Click Program Pages . Click Visitor Page under Program Pages . Click the Visitor Page element in your editor. Click Settings . Click Sections . Click the Arrow icon next to Instructor . Change the text under Section Title . Save your site. When ready, Publish your site to see the changes live. How can I ensure program collaborators work together well? Ensure program collaborators work together well by establishing clear roles. Each role handles different responsibilities. Define communication guidelines throughout the program duration. Regular meetings and using collaboration tools can also help maintain teamwork and coordination. Can I restrict access to specific online programs for different site collaborators? No, you cannot restrict access to different online programs for site collaborators. You can add the Program Author role and assign it to the programs you want that person to see. How can collaborators track course sales? We don't offer specific analytics for collaborators. Collaborators receive notifications when someone joins a paid program. That way, they can track course sales. Multiplying the program's price by the number of participants. Can collaborators assess students' work? Yes, collaborators can assess students' work. Go to Online Programs in your site's dashboard. Click the relevant program. Click Manage next to Participants . Click View Steps next to the relevant participant.

< Back Managing your business Building your community Wix Blog: Using Your Blog to Improve Your Site's SEO Adding a blog to your site is a great way to boost your site's Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Search engines reward sites with good content and ones that update often. A blog allows you to easily add fresh content to your site on a regular basis. You can optimize the SEO settings and content of your blog pages to improve your site's performance in search results. Optimizing your meta tags for search results Your site's pages include a title tag, meta description, and URL slug to help search engines and social networks show information about your pages. Wix automatically adds default SEO settings for your blog post's title tag, meta description, and URL slug to your site. T hese default settings are based on the following: Title tag: Your blog post's name and site name. Meta description: Your blog post's description. URL slug (ending of the product page URL): The blog post's name. The title tags and meta descriptions appear in search engine results. In the example below, the title tag is in blue and the meta description is under the site address. It's a good idea to make sure your meta tags and URL accurately reflect the content of your site. This helps users decide if the page is relevant to them. You can edit the default settings for your blog post in your blog page's SEO Panel . Let AI create meta tags for you. Learn more about using AI in your blog . Using keywords and search phrases to rank higher Any word or phrase typed into a search engine is a search phrase. To increase traffic to your site, it is good practice to target a few relevant search phrases - also referred to as keywords. For example, if you run a yoga studio in Toronto, the phrase "yoga classes Toronto" may be one of your search phrases. Learn more about how to select keywords and what to do with them . Adding structured data markup to improve your search results Structured data markup gives search engines detailed information about your page. Adding structured data markup to your site's page can help improve your website's search results and ranking. Your Wix Blog posts already come with preset markup when you create them. You can customize your structured data markup for these pages in your site's SEO Settings. Learn more about structured data . Tip: You can also enable AI-generated structured data for your blog posts. AI automatically analyzes your content and generates additional relevant schemas (like FAQ, Recipe, and more) without requiring technical knowledge. Learn more about using AI-generated structured data for blog posts. Gaining backlinks to boost your SEO Links from other sites directed at your site are called backlinks. Gaining backlinks is a great way to boost your site's SEO, since search engines view links from popular and reputable sites as a sign that your site is also reputable. Learn more about how to gain backlinks . Adding alt text to images to improve ranking Search engines cannot "read" images. By adding alt text to an image, you are "telling" Google and other search engines what is in your image, making it more likely to appear in an image search. Adding alt text to images and GIFs helps drive additional traffic to your site. To add alt text to an image: Go to Blog in your site's dashboard. Click the relevant blog post, or click + Create New Post to write a new one. Add a new image or edit an existing one: Add new image: Click Add on the left. Click Image . Add the image to the post. Click the image in the post. Edit existing image: Click the relevant image in your post. Click the Settings icon on the toolbar. Enter an alt text description. Click Save .

< Back Managing your business Business solutions & apps Wix Rentals: An Overview Wix Rentals lets you rent out resources such as equipment, studios, sports courts, or workspaces directly from your site. Create a rental listing for each resource, choose when it is available, and let clients reserve and pay online. You can also create reservations for clients directly from your dashboard. Note: Wix Rentals is available only on Wix Harmony. Important: You can create up to three manual reservations for free in Wix Rentals. To take online reservations, you need a Business Premium plan . How Wix Rentals works Before you set up your rentals, it helps to understand a few key terms: Resource : A physical asset you rent out, for example a tennis court, a camera, or an office. Resource category : A group that organizes similar resources together, for example "Rooms" or "Road bikes." Attribute : A detail that describes a resource, for example capacity, parking, or air conditioning. You can add attributes and assign values to each resource individually. Rental listing : What clients see and reserve on your site, including availability, duration, and price. Each listing is linked to one resource. A client can reserve one listing per transaction, but you can create multiple listings for the same resource, for example daily and hourly listings. Reservation : What's created when a client reserves a listing. It appears in your calendar and holds the resource for that time. Example : Helen runs a fitness studio and rents out rooms to yoga and Pilates instructors. She creates two rental listings: a Pilates room for 10 people and a yoga room for 6 people. Both resources belong to the resource category "Rooms." Helen also has 10 yoga mats. She sets up each mat as a separate resource with its own rental listing. Note: Wix Rentals uses the same resources as Wix Bookings . If you already use Wix Bookings, your resources are automatically available in Wix Rentals too. Rent out resources on your terms You control when each resource is available and how long clients can rent it for. Set a resource to be available full day or limit it to your working hours, then choose whether clients rent by the hour or by the day. For example, if Helen's yoga room is set to working hours, clients can reserve it for a full business day or by the hour within a single business day. If she sets it to full day, they can reserve it for a full calendar day or by the hour on any date. Resource availability Rental duration What clients can reserve Working hours Daily Full business days within your open hours. Working hours Hourly A start and end time within a single business day. Full day Daily Full days midnight to midnight on any date even outside of the business hours. Full day Hourly A start and end time on any date within the same calendar day. New resources are set to full day by default. If a resource can only be rented during your working hours, update its default hours. Set your prices and get paid Set a price for each rental listing and choose a time unit: hourly or daily. For hourly rentals, you can also add buffer time between reservations to give yourself time to prepare the resource for the next client. For manual reservations, you can collect payment from your dashboard by cash, card, or another payment method. Help clients find the right rental On your live site, clients can browse rental listings and filter them to find what they need. Depending on how you set up your resources, they can filter by location, date and time, resource category, and attributes. You can customize which attributes appear as filters, set their display order, and choose whether to show resources that are only partially available. Tip: Decide on your attributes before you publish. They control what filters appear on your site. Create reservations for your clients You can also create reservations for clients directly from your dashboard, for example, when a client contacts you by phone, email, or in person. Without a Business Premium plan, you can create up to 3 free sessions. Each day in a multi-day reservation counts as a separate session, so a 4-day daily reservation uses 4 sessions. After the free sessions are used, you need a Business Premium plan to continue creating reservations manually. Note: The 3-session limit applies to manually created reservations only. Online reservations from your live site always require a Business Premium plan. This article is credited to the Wix team - https://support.wix.com/ and we thank them for that!
