How to add Wise Business to your website
Wise Business is a multi-currency business account with payment request links, used by freelancers and businesses invoicing clients in other countries. Here's how to put it on your own website, which embed option to pick, and what goes wrong.
Quick answer
Get the code from your Wise Business account, using the Request money feature to generate a shareable payment link. For most people the right choice is the payment request link — a link asking for a specific amount in a chosen currency. Paste it into a code or embed block on your site — not a plain text field — then place it beside your main call to action and test the whole flow on a phone before relying on it.
Wise Business: which option to use
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Payment request link | A link asking for a specific amount in a chosen currency. |
| Wisetag | A reusable personal or business handle people can pay to. |
| Account details per currency | Local bank details in several currencies, so overseas clients pay domestically. |
Step-by-step
- 1
Find the code or link in your account
Wise Business keeps this in your Wise Business account, using the Request money feature to generate a shareable payment link. Copy what you need before touching your website — most of the time people lose is spent hunting for the snippet, not installing it.

Pick the right option for the job
The table above is the decision. Payment request link: A link asking for a specific amount in a chosen currency. Wisetag: A reusable personal or business handle people can pay to. Choosing before you paste saves rebuilding the section later.

Paste it into a code or embed block
This needs an HTML, code or embed block — not a plain text field, where the code will simply appear as text on your page. On Adviita, ask the AI editor to add an embed section and drop the code in. On WordPress use a Custom HTML block, on Squarespace a Code block (Business plan or above), and on Wix an Embed HTML element.

Put it where the decision happens
Getting paid should take the customer as few taps as possible — every extra step is money left on the table. A widget three scrolls down does a fraction of the work of the same widget beside your main call to action. Decide what the page is for, then place it at the point the visitor is deciding.

Check it on an actual phone
Most visitors to a small business website arrive on a phone, and embeds are where mobile layouts break. Open your live site on your own phone and confirm it loads, fits the screen without sideways scrolling, and does not push your contact button out of view. Third-party embeds are also the most common cause of a slow page, so if it noticeably delays loading, consider a plain link instead.

Test it end to end before you rely on it
Run through the whole flow yourself as a customer would — make a small real payment — and confirm what should happen actually happens. Broken embeds fail silently, and the first person to notice is usually a customer who has already given up.
Tips & best practices
- ▸Wise is built for cross-border invoicing rather than website checkout. It is not a card-processing gateway and does not behave like one.
- ▸Payment requests are best sent directly to a known client, not published on a public page.
- ▸Exchange rates are a genuine advantage, but confirm which currencies you can hold and receive in before promising a client.
- ▸Re-test the embed after any change to your site, your plan, or the connected account — third-party widgets break quietly and nothing tells you.
Common questions
Can I take website payments through Wise?
+−
Not in the way a card gateway works. Wise generates payment request links that suit invoicing named clients, and gives you local bank details in multiple currencies. For a checkout button on a public page, use Stripe, Square or PayPal instead — Wise is for getting paid by clients you already have.
Why use Wise for international clients?
+−
Because your client can pay into local bank details in their own currency, which is cheaper and simpler for them than an international transfer, and you convert at Wise's rate rather than a bank's. For freelancers with overseas clients this is often the single biggest saving available.
Do I need a developer to add Wise Business to my site?
+−
No. Every option here is copy and paste into a code or embed block, which every mainstream website builder provides. The only genuine blocker is a builder or plan that does not allow custom code at all — Squarespace, for instance, requires a Business plan or above for code blocks.
Will adding Wise Business slow down my website?
+−
Any third-party embed has some cost, because it loads code from another company's servers. One is usually unnoticeable; four or five on the same page is where small business sites become visibly slow. If page speed matters to you, prefer a plain link over a script wherever the option exists, and keep embeds to the pages that genuinely need them.
