  3. Get an authorization code. To transfer your domain, you’ll need an authorization code from GoDaddy. To get this code, select the “Get Authorization Code” button on the “Domain Settings” page.Once you have your code, you’ll need to enter it on the Wix site.
  4. Initiate the transfer on the Wix site. Now that you have your authorization code, head over to the Wix site and initiate the domain transfer process. You’ll need to enter your authorization code as well as some other information about your domain, such as your name and contact information.
  5. Approve the transfer. The final step is to approve the transfer on both the GoDaddy and Wix sites. Once you’ve approved the transfer, it can take up to five days for the process to be completed.

Conclusion:

So there you have it! You can easily transfer your domain name from GoDaddy to Wix by following these simple steps.
