Shoprocket won't embed into Wix. Here's what will.

Wix sandboxes every third-party embed in an iframe, and December 2025 security changes blocked cookies and local storage even in their Custom Elements. Payment flows, checkouts, and analytics all break in that environment. This page is a straight answer about what to do instead.

Why this is

Wix is a great site builder. It is not built for third-party commerce.

The reasons Shoprocket (and most real ecommerce platforms) do not plug cleanly into a Wix site. No spin, this is just how Wix works.

01

Every HTML embed runs in a sandboxed iframe.

Wix's HTML element wraps your code in an iframe with no access to the parent page. Stripe 3DS challenges, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and checkout redirects all need to run in the top-level page. Inside a Wix iframe, they fail silently or break the flow.

02

December 2025 security changes made it worse.

Wix removed the allow-same-origin attribute from embed iframes and tightened their Custom Element sandbox. Cookies, localStorage, and sessionStorage are now blocked in the editor and partially restricted on live sites. Third-party checkouts that worked last year may have quietly stopped working.

03

Custom Elements are paid-plan only.

The one semi-viable embed path (Custom Elements) requires a Wix Premium plan, a connected custom domain, and ads removed. If you are on a free or entry Wix plan, that path is closed. And even on Premium, the element still iframes in the editor.

The honest answer

Three real paths forward.

Depending on what you actually need from your site, one of these is the right call.

01

1. Run Shoprocket on its own domain.

Skip the embed problem entirely. Spin up a Shoprocket hosted storefront, point a fresh domain (or your current one) at it, and keep your Wix site for whatever it does well (portfolio, about, blog). Two separate sites, clearly scoped. Lowest friction, fastest launch.

02

2. Leave Wix for a builder that allows real embeds.

If you want commerce and content on the same domain, move to a site builder that lets third-party scripts run natively: Carrd, Framer, Ghost, WordPress, Notion, Webflow. Shoprocket installs in two lines of HTML on any of them.

03

3. Stay on Wix Stores if it already covers you.

Wix Stores is bundled with Wix and handles basic ecommerce well. If you sell simple products, do not need multi-language auto-translation, live chat, a real API, or the other things Shoprocket ships, Wix Stores might be a perfectly reasonable fit. We are not here to push anyone off something that works.

Sign up, pick a theme from our 40+ options (or use the drag-and-drop builder), point a domain, and you are live. No embed code, no iframe issues, no Wix policy to worry about. Multi-language across 21 languages, live chat with AI translation, real-time analytics, and 0% platform fees from $29/mo.

Path 2

Builders that embed Shoprocket cleanly.

If you want your content site and your store on the same domain, here are the builders that let third-party scripts run natively. All of them install Shoprocket in two lines of HTML.

Each of these builders lets you paste HTML directly into the page, not inside a sandboxed iframe. If Wix is not working out for commerce, any of them is a good move for the same use cases.

  • Carrd. One-page sites with HTML embeds on the paid Pro plan (from $19/yr). Cheap, fast, gets out of your way.
  • Framer. Modern design-forward builder with proper code embeds on paid plans. Good for visual-heavy brands.
  • Ghost. The newsletter and blog platform, with HTML cards and a free publication tier. A natural fit for creators shipping content alongside products.
  • WordPress. Self-hosted or WordPress.com, any theme, anywhere. The most flexible option, and Shoprocket installs without WooCommerce.
  • Squarespace. Code Blocks on the Business plan and up take a real HTML embed.
  • Webflow. Visual development platform with a full embed element.
  • Notion. If your content already lives in Notion, you can publish a page and drop Shoprocket in as a block.

Any of these gets you to the same place: one domain, real commerce, no iframe sandbox.

Common questions

Straight answers for Wix users.

What we hear from Wix users researching ecommerce options.

So Shoprocket really does not work on Wix at all?+
Not cleanly. You can technically put a Shoprocket snippet into a Wix HTML embed element, but it will live inside a sandboxed iframe. Payment processors' security requirements (Stripe 3DS, Apple Pay, Google Pay) require the checkout to run in the top-level page, and iframed checkouts fail in subtle ways, sometimes only at the payment step, sometimes intermittently. We have seen too many broken Wix merchant setups to recommend it.
Why not just use Wix Stores then?+
That is a completely valid answer if Wix Stores covers you. Wix Stores handles basic product catalogues and checkout fine, within the Wix walled garden. You should look elsewhere if you need: multi-language auto-translation, live chat with customers in their language, a real REST API, portability off Wix, or 0% transaction fees starting at an entry price.
I heard Wix has Custom Elements. Can you use those?+
Custom Elements render as web components on the live site (not iframed) but still iframe in the editor. They require a paid Wix Premium plan, a connected custom domain, and ads removed. We have not shipped Shoprocket as a Wix Custom Element because: (1) the audience is narrow (Premium users only), (2) Wix keeps tightening their sandbox policy and we do not want to ship something that silently breaks for customers on a Wix policy change, and (3) the merchants best served by Shoprocket typically already want to move off Wix entirely.
What if I just want a buy button on my Wix site, nothing complex?+
Even a simple buy button triggers a checkout flow, which is where the iframe sandbox breaks things. If you only need one or two products and zero tax/shipping complexity, Wix Stores' built-in product widgets will be easier. If you need anything more, the cleanest answer is to run Shoprocket on a separate domain (Path 1 above) and link to it from your Wix site.
Can I keep my Wix site and just run Shoprocket on a separate subdomain?+
Yes, this is Path 1 and it is often the best answer for Wix users who love their Wix site but want real commerce. Keep yoursite.com on Wix for your content. Point store.yoursite.com (or shop.yoursite.com) at Shoprocket. Link between them. You get the best of both without fighting the iframe sandbox.
I want to move off Wix entirely. What do you recommend?+
If your content is mostly long-form or blog-style, Ghost is a joy. If it is a simple landing page, Carrd is cheap and fast. If it is design-heavy, Framer or Webflow. If you want the widest plugin ecosystem, WordPress. All four play well with Shoprocket. We have dedicated integration guides for each (see Path 2 above).
Is Shoprocket really 0% platform fees?+
Yes. Your payment processor (Stripe, PayPal, etc.) still charges their standard processing fee, that is the cost of moving money, but Shoprocket adds nothing on top. 0% platform fees applies to every plan, starting from Starter.
What's actually different about Shoprocket?+
Shoprocket has been building commerce software since 2013. v3 is a ground-up rewrite on a modern stack for what commerce looks like now. What Wix Stores does not ship: AI auto-translation into 21 languages on save, AI-translated live chat in real time, a full REST API with OpenAPI docs, portability off the platform, and 0% platform fees starting at $29/mo.
