You can't. It needs to be ported to GTK3 first.

I can't found anything about it

Re: [SOLVED] XFCE & Wayland

afaik you can't
you need wayland compositor, and looks like xfwm, or any other xfce component can't do that currently.

xfce applications should work on wayland though, either natively if they've been ported to gtk3, or via xwayland otherwise.
