How do I embed an interactive chart in Wix?

8 July 2026 5 min read

Quick answer

To embed an interactive chart in Wix, add an Embed element, choose Embed a Widget (Custom Embeds, Embed HTML), and paste the chart's iframe code - you do not need a third-party chart app if the chart is hosted with a public HTTPS URL. Then fix the two things Wix gets wrong: set the embed box height so a responsive chart is not clipped, and size the embed again in Wix's separate mobile editor. Note that embeds often stay blank in the editor preview and only render on the published site.

To put an interactive chart on a Wix page, add an Embed element, choose Embed a Widget, and paste the chart's iframe code - then fix the two things Wix gets wrong by default: the height and the mobile layout. You do not need a third-party chart app to do this. If your chart is already hosted somewhere with a public URL, Wix will show it.

The native path, without an add-on

In the Wix editor, open Add Elements, scroll to Embed Code, and pick one of two options. Embed a Widget - also reached through Custom Embeds, then Embed HTML - takes a block of HTML or an iframe snippet and renders it inline on the page. Embed a Site takes a URL and loads that whole page in a frame. For a single chart you almost always want the widget option with the iframe code, because it drops the chart into your layout rather than framing an entire external page. Paste the code, click Update, and the chart appears in the box.

The catches Wix does not warn you about

Three things quietly break embeds here. First, the source must be served over HTTPS - an http iframe is blocked on a published Wix site even when it previews fine. Second, the iframe will not size itself: Wix gives the embed box a fixed height, and a responsive chart inside a too-short box gets clipped or scrolls. Set the box height to match the chart, and if your chart supports a responsive height, use it. Third, and the one that wastes the most time, the Wix editor preview is not the published site. Embeds are frequently blank in the editor and render only once the page is live, so publish to a staging URL before deciding something is broken.

Check the mobile layout separately

Wix keeps a separate mobile editor with its own positions and sizes. An embed you place and size on desktop will not inherit that height on mobile - switch to the mobile view, find the embed, and set its dimensions there too. For a chart this matters more than for text, because a financial chart squeezed into a narrow column with unreadable axis labels is worse than no chart. Check that the legend and the axes still read at phone width, or swap to a simplified mobile version of the view.

Why not just use a chart widget?

Wix's app market has chart widgets - Common Ninja, Elfsight and others - and for a quick pie or bar chart typed in by hand they are fine. The limit shows up with real data: you are rebuilding the chart inside their tool, re-entering or re-syncing the numbers, and living inside their styling. If the chart is finance or data-heavy, or it needs to stay in step with a source that changes, hosting the chart yourself and embedding the iframe keeps one source of truth and full control of how it looks. The widget is convenient; the iframe is durable.

Embedding a Quadesto chart in Wix

Build the view in Quadesto, copy the embed code, and paste it into a Wix Embed a Widget element - then set the box height and check the mobile layout as above. Because the chart is hosted and rendered by Quadesto, it stays live and in sync with its data source instead of being a static picture. The same iframe approach works on Squarespace, WordPress and Framer; the platform-specific catch on Wix is that separate mobile editor. The free tier embeds with a Made with Quadesto credit; Pro (149 pounds a month) removes the attribution and adds branded themes.
