Next Steps to Add the Widget - WIX Specific
For Wix websites you will need to whitelist two different domains:
Whitelist the Wix editor URL
Whitelist a file user URL that is specific to your website.
The format of your website URL is: https://www-YOURWEBSITENAMEHERE-com.filesusr.com
For example, the http://onthestage.com domain would be formatted as https://www-onthestage-com.filesusr.com
Add a new section on the page where you would like your ticket widget to appear by selecting Add Section and Blank Section.

The OTS Ticket Widget is intended to open in a full screen modal once your patron selects a performance date and time and begins selecting tickets. Unfortunately, Wix does not allow this behavior and your patrons will complete their purchase in a smaller-than-ideal window. Consider migration to a less restrictive hosting platform to improve the experience.
