That's the last step in our guide on how to delete Wix account.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>How to Get Wix Refund After Deleting Account<\/h2>\n<p>Wix has a 14-day refund policy for new Premium or Studio plans. Specifically, if you paid for your Wix plan in the last 14 days and choose to delete your account (including canceling your site plan), you're eligible for a refund.<\/p>\n<p>The best part is that you won\u2019t need to submit a request; it will be automatically processed using your payment method. The refund may take up to 20 business days to appear on your credit card statement.<\/p>\n<p>Note that this policy does not cover the scenarios of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Requesting a refund for a plan renewal<\/li>\n<li>Requesting a refund for upgrading an existing plan.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And what if you do not meet the criteria for the 14-day refund policy but still feel you deserve a refund? Then, you can contact Wix to review your request.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>5 Best Wix Alternatives When Deleting Wix Account and Sites<\/h2>\n<p>After finding out how to delete a Wix account, you will need to consider alternatives for your sites.

The platform also provides app stores with +8000 third-party integrations, allowing you to easily customize your stores and enhance functionality.<\/p>\n<p>Although Shopify has fewer templates available than Wix (check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wix-vs-shopify\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wix vs Shopify comparison<\/a> here!), its versions are still effective for eCommerce purposes.
