- Wix Stores: Managing Product Subscriptions | Wix Expert
< Back Managing your business Business solutions & apps Wix Stores: Managing Product Subscriptions Any time a customer purchases a product subscription from your online store, it appears in the Subscriptions tab in your site's dashboard. Important: To fulfill subscription orders (or cancel / refund a single order) go to the Orders tab. Learn how to fulfill a subscription . Showing customers how to manage their subscriptions Customers can make changes to their subscriptions by logging in to your site and selecting the My Subscriptions tab. From the My Subscriptions tab, customers can: Cancel a subscription Update credit card or other payment details Note: When a customer cancels, it means that no new orders will be created. There may, however, still be existing orders that are billed and shipped. For example, if an order is created on the 1st of every month, and a customer cancels on the 3rd of May, they still receive the order created on the 1st May, and they will be charged for it (if they have not already been charged). Skipping Subscription Orders You can skip one or more billing cycles anytime a customer asks you to do so (up to 10 maximum). For example, if a customer has a monthly subscription but asks to stop delivery in July and August, you can skip those 2 orders and resume in September. To skip subscription orders: Go to Subscriptions in your site's dashboard. Hover over the relevant customer and click View . Click the Manage Subscription drop-down and select Skip order . Select the start date and end date for skipping orders. Choose how you want to resume orders: From the upcoming billing cycle: Orders will resume on the next available date according to the original schedule. For example, if orders were originally billed on the first of each month and you selected May 10 as the end date, the next order will resume on June 1. Right after skip ends: Orders will resume on the end date. For example, if orders were originally billed on the first of each month and you selected May 10 as the end date, the next order will resume on May 10. Click Save . When the skipped orders have passed, your customer's subscription automatically resumes. You also have the option of manually resuming at any time. To resume subscription orders manually: Go to Subscriptions in your site's dashboard. Hover over the relevant client and click View . Select an option: If no orders have been skipped: Click Cancel Skip to continue shipping with no skipped orders. If an order has been skipped: Click Manage Order Schedule . Select an option: Resume orders now: A new order is immediately created. Resume orders from next cycle: The next scheduled order will be created. Reschedule next order: Select the date the next order is created and click Save . Notes: If you select the Resume orders now or Reschedule next order , it changes the date of all future occurrences (e.g. a monthly order on the 1st of the month may fall on a different day each month). Skipped orders are generated later to make up for them, so that a monthly subscription lasting a year will still have 12 cycles. Canceling a subscription You can cancel a customer's subscription at any time. When you do, no new orders connected to this subscription are created. Note: If you previously suspended a subscription and now want to cancel it, reactivate it first. To cancel a product subscription: Go to Subscriptions in your site's dashboard. Select the subscription you want to update. Click Manage Subscription . Click Cancel subscription . Select Cancel now. Click Yes, Cancel . Adding a grace period You can set a grace period to allow your customers a little more time if their recurring payment fails. This lets them resubmit payment before their subscription is canceled automatically. Learn how to set up a grace period . Changing the date customers are charged By default, subscription renewal dates are determined by the date of the original purchase. For example, if a customer orders a subscription on the 7th of January, a new order is created on the 7th of every month. You can change the renewal date so that, for instance, the customer is charged on the 1st of every month. Learn how to change the payment date for your customers' subscriptions .

- Studio Editor: Working with Site Typography | Wix Expert
< Back Studio, Partners & Enterprise Wix Studio Studio Editor: Working with Site Typography Ensure your design is consistent across your client's site by setting the site typography. This area in the Site Styles panel is divided into Fonts and Text styles , which you can customize individually to match the look you want to achieve. How do I access the site's typography? Click Site Styles on the left side of the editor and select the Typography tab. Fonts and text styles The Fonts section shows all of the fonts you are using in the site's text styles. When you change a font in the Fonts section, it automatically updates all of the text styles that were using the old font. The Text styles refer to the individual text types used on the site (e.g. Heading 2, Paragraph 1). Tip: H1 - H6 are heading tags that are automatically assigned to these titles. Keeping the top-down hierarchy of your titles, in accordance with the heading tags, helps both SEO and accessibility. Updating site typography Revamp your design by updating the typography across your client's site. You can change the site fonts, or adjust the look of the 9 individual text styles (6 headings, 3 paragraphs). What happens when I update text styles / fonts? When you change a text style, it's applied to any text elements that are using that style. Changing a font automatically updates any text style (e.g. Heading 1, Paragraph 2) that used the previous font. It's also applied to any themed text elements that used the previous font. To update the typography: Click Site Styles on the left side of the editor. Click the Typography tab. Choose what you want to customize - a font, or a text style: Font: Click the font you want to update under Fonts . Select a new font from the drop-down. Click Update to apply the new font. Text style: Click the text style you want to update under Text styles . Customize the text style as you wish: Choose a new font from the drop-down. Choose the font size. Make the text scale proportionally so it looks ideal on every screen size and set the maximum and minimum size in px (pixels). Bold and / or italicize the text. Set the line and character spacing. Choose the text's color. Go back to the main panel by clicking the Arrow icon at the top left. Applying text styles to a page Once you've established your client's site typography, you can easily add text elements with the relevant fonts and text styles. Head over to the Add Elements panel to add themed titles and paragraphs. Click Text and drag the relevant style under Text Themes to the desired location. Themed elements are connected to the site typography, so they'll update automatically if you ever make changes to the Site Styles panel. Applying a style to a text element You can also apply a style on an existing text element on the page. Click Edit Text on the element and select the relevant Style from the drop-down in the Inspector . This connects the element to the chosen text style, which means it'll update automatically if you ever make changes to it in the Site Styles panel. Overriding text styles If you change a text element's design after selecting a style (theme) for it, you're creating a "design override". This means that any updates to the chosen style don't apply to this text element. You can reset text elements with overrides to their original style. Click the Style drop-down and select Reset Changes . You can also select Update Styles to apply the overrides you made to the actual text style. This will also update every text element with this style across your client's site. Enabling fallback fonts Using heavy custom fonts? Enable fallback fonts to optimize the site's performance. These fonts load faster, and are displayed temporarily on the live site while your custom fonts download in the background. Learn more about fallback fonts To enable fallback fonts: Go to your editor . Click the Wix Studio icon at the top left. Hover over Site . Click Performance .

- Wix Harmony Editor: Using the Accessibility Wizard | Wix Expert
< Back Using the Wix Harmony Editor Using the editor tools Wix Harmony Editor: Using the Accessibility Wizard Scan your site with the Accessibility Wizard to identify and fix any accessibility issues on your site. The wizard provides you with in-house solutions, as well as guidelines on making your own adjustments. Completing all of the tasks is a great way to give your site a solid foundation, and make it more accessible for everyone. Important: For information on scanning a Wix Editor or Studio Editor site with the Accessibility Wizard, please click here . Scanning a site with the Accessibility Wizard Start creating a more accessible experience by scanning your site with the Accessibility Wizard. Not only does the wizard identify and highlight potential issues; our extra recommendations under Manual tasks ensure you're guided through the entire process. Important: The Accessibility Wizard does not support / scan all parts of the site (e.g. Velo and side carts). Learn more about what the wizard supports . To open the wizard and scan your site: Go to your editor . Click your site’s name at the top left of the editor. Scroll down to Accessibility and click Fix Issues . Click Scan Site . Working on site level and page issues The wizard organizes detected issues into site level and page-level tasks. Going through each task is a surefire way to improve every aspect of your site's accessibility—from the overall experience, to specific elements. Depending on the content, you can make adjustments from the wizard, or within your editor. Site level issues The Site level drop-down displays settings that impact the entire site (e.g. the site's language and focus indicators). Select an option to learn more about tasks that affect the whole site. Show focus indicators Focus indicators are blue rectangles that appear around interactive elements (like buttons or links) when visitors use a keyboard to navigate through the live site. They allow the visitor to see where their current position is - and are therefore crucial to site accessibility. Learn more about focus indicators . Add 'Skip to Main Content' link 'Skip to Main Content' is a feature that allows visitors using keyboard navigation to bypass the topmost sections of a site (such as menus and page headings) and skip directly to the main content of the page. 'Skip to Main Content' links are an important part of a site's accessibility, as they provide visitors with quick access to the information they need. Learn more about 'Skip to Main Content' . Set site language Setting the site's main language provides assistive technologies with the information they need to accurately render the content. It does this by: Indicating the script / characters used in site text Determining the pronunciation of text content Allowing media players to show the correct captions It is therefore important to set the site's main language, as it ensures visitors using these technologies get the best experience. If you have added Wix Multilingual to your site, the main language chosen during set-up cannot be changed . However, you can: Delete Multilingual from the site , re-add it, and set it up with the language you want. Change the layout of the language menu to ensure the best experience for visitors. Organize DOM order The Document Object Model (DOM) order of a site determines the selection / reading order of page elements (i.e., the order in which elements are read by screen readers, and highlighted when using the Tab key). The DOM order is also impacted by the direction of your site's language. We recommend organizing the DOM order with the wizard to ensure that the reading and visual order of your elements are aligned. Learn more about DOM order and accessibility . Note: This task is only displayed if the DOM order and site language direction do not match. Page issues Your site's pages are divided into a Main pages drop-down (regular pages that come with the site template or that you add), and pages that come with apps you install on the site. No matter whether they're main pages or app pages, the wizard scans for the same potential issues. Open an option to learn more about the types of issues that are detected. Give this page a descriptive title A page's title tag is the title that search engines usually display for the page in search results. It's taken from the name that you give the page, as well as the name of the site. The wizard prompts you to change the title of a page when the title tag contains 'New page' (the default assigned to new pages you add to a site), or 'Copy of' (the default assigned to duplicate pages). Page title tags provide visitors using assistive technology with important information about the page's content. In order to ensure the best experience, page titles should therefore be: Descriptive: The titles should accurately summarize the page's content and include any essential information. Unique: Titles should only be used on one page on the site, and not repeated across pages. Concise: Page titles should summarize the content while including relevant information and keywords. Tip: Accurate page title tags are also an important part of your site's SEO . Organize heading structure Heading tags are elements in a site's HTML code that determine the hierarchy / structure of text content on a page. Heading tags follow a top-down order, from Heading 1 (H1) to Heading 6 (H6), and then paragraph text (P). Assistive technologies use heading tags to know the order of page content. For example, screen readers read H1 content first, followed by H2, H3, etc. An accurate heading structure is therefore important, as it provides a clear, logical experience for visitors using these technologies. You can adjust many heading tags within the Accessibility Wizard. However, some elements are not currently fully integrated with the wizard, and need to be manually adjusted . Add alt text to images Alternative (alt) text is a textual description of an image on a web page. Some visitors may use assistive technologies such as screen readers to navigate through sites. These read the site's content aloud to the visitors - including the alt text. Alt text is therefore an important part of a site, as it ensures that visitors using these technologies can access the content, and understand what the image contains. Learn more about alt text and accessibility . Improve color contrast Color contrast is a measure of the difference in perceived brightness between two colors, and is expressed as a ratio ranging from 1:1 (no contrast) to 21:1 (strong contrast). Having a strong contrast ensures site content is easy to see and read. The required color contrast ratio depends on the element's type and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) level you want to achieve - AA (the minimum requirement) , or AAA (enhanced) : Small text: Text smaller than 24px (18pts): AA: 4.5:1 and above AAA: 7:1 and above Large text: Text bigger than 24px (18pts), or text over 18px (14pts) and bold: AA: 3:1 and above AAA: 4.5:1 and above Non-text components (e.g. icons): AA: 3:1 and above You can adjust the contrast of most site content within the Accessibility Wizard. However, some elements are not currently fully integrated with the wizard, and need to be manually adjusted. Learn more about adjusting color contrast . Note: Only level AA is currently required in the Accessibility Wizard. Verify media files are accessible Some site visitors may have one or more disabilities or conditions that impact their vision and / or hearing. You can ensure media files are accessible providing alternatives (e.g. transcripts and audio descriptions) - making it easier for these visitors to access, understand, and enjoy the content. Learn more about media alternatives . Organize DOM order The DOM refers to the loading and reading order of elements on your site pages, and is important for visitors using screen readers and other assistive technologies. You can organize the DOM order with the wizard to ensure that the reading and visual order of your elements are aligned. Learn more about DOM order and accessibility . Note: This task is only displayed if auto DOM is disabled on one or more of the page sections. Doing manual tasks These are additional details you manually check across the site, like browser zoom and media controls. Don't worry about steps - the wizard gives you an explanation for each task, and links to additional information to help you identify and adjust them. Use descriptive text in links and button Text or elements that link to other pages, sections, or websites should be as descriptive as possible. For example, 'Read more about our latest research' is clearer than 'Read more'. They should also be clear if they lead to an action, such as submitting a form. Read the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) document on Link Purpose Use more than color to distinguish between info Information conveyed by color should also have separate indicators, such as patterns, font style, and icons. For example, linked text should be underlined, and graphs should also display data with different patterns or textures. Read the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) document about Use of Color . Fix images that include important info Text in images (such as photos of signs or slogans) cannot be read by screenreaders. We recommend replacing these images with real text where possible. If the image text is an important part of the site's content, or is essential in conveying information, include the text in the image's description (alt text). Learn more about text in images . Add controls to audio and videos Some video and audio players may be set to play automatically when the page loads. However, this can cause confusion and distraction for visitors, and may interfere with assistive technologies. For example, an audio player that starts automatically can override or 'speak' over a screen reader. We therefore advise providing visitors with option to stop / pause, and mute the content. Learn more about adding controls Ensure all content is fully visible when the browser is zoomed in Site elements / components should still be visible if the browser is zoomed. This is to ensure that users with visual conditions can magnify the site, and still see all of the page's content. You can check this by previewing the site, and changing your browser's zoom to 200%. Learn more about zoomed content . Add an accessibility statement Web accessibility is a legal requirement in several countries. However, even if it is not a legal requirement in your region, we recommend adding the statement. These demonstrate the site / your client's commitment to providing a website that can be enjoyed by all visitors. Read more about accessibility statements . Review potential color contrast issues There may be color contrast on the site that the wizard does not identify. In order to ensure that all site content is clear and visible to visitors, we recommend manually reviewing the contrast of site content, and adjusting it as needed . Frequently asked questions (FAQs) What does the Accessibility Wizard scan? The wizard scans most of the site's content. This includes regular site pages, and pages that are part of business solutions (e.g. the Calendar page in Wix Bookings).

- Site Members: Making a Member Profile Public | Wix Expert
< Back Managing your business Building your community Site Members: Making a Member Profile Public Your site members can choose to keep their member profile private, or make it public: Private profile: Their details are only visible to them; other members cannot see their information. This is for members who just want to track of their own activity on your site. Public profile: Other members can see their information and profile on the Members page, follow their activity and send them messages. If a member wants to be public, they can opt to join your community when signing up, or change their privacy settings from their My Account page. Joining the community while signing up When new members sign up to your site, they can select the checkbox to make their profile visible to all other members. Once they are part of your community, they can control the details other members see, write their own short bio and personalize their profile's cover photo. Changing privacy settings from the My Account page From their My Account page, members can control whether their profile is private or public. They'll find this setting under Profile Visibility . FAQs Below are some frequently asked questions about having a site community. Click a question below to learn more: What kind of community can I create on my site? A community is a set of social functions in your Members Area that provides your members with different ways to follow and communicate with each others. Once a member sets their profile as public, they are effectively joining your community. Integrated with apps like Wix Blog and Wix Groups, the community allows your members to chat with other members, follow their activities on your site and more. How is being a site member different from being part of a community? Becoming a member: Site membership grants your visitors access to members-only pages, such as Wix Stores order history and Wix Bookings appointments. You can use the Members Area with these apps . Joining the community: After joining a community, Wix Blog and Wix Groups members can comment, follow posts, and more. Their member profiles appear on your Members Area page. I can't see certain members on the Members Page list. Why? There could be two possible reasons for this to happen: Private profile: The Members Page only displays members with a public profile. If a member's profile is set to private, you won't be able to see them here. Different display name: The list shows your members' display name , not their first and last name. From the My Account page, members can choose a different display name which appears on their profile card.
