Commerce7
Commerce7 is a relative newcomer to the wine ecommerce/POS scene, and has quickly become our FAVORITE solution for wineries. First, it has an incredibly intuitive design throughout. The POS is easy to use, and the backend to manage inventory, clubs, etc. is refreshingly easy to use compared to the other wine-specific ecommerce solutions mentioned on this page. The online store is embedded on your own website (currently WordPress only, does not work with Squarespace yet), so there is no need to create a separate subdomain for your store that is different from your core website unless you don’t currently have a WordPress website. Commerce7 integrates with a wide range of services, including ShipCompliant, Mailchimp, CellarPass, FedEx and more. Overall, this is definitely at the top of our list, and you need to take a demo to see it for yourself!

Initiation Fee to Commerce7: $0

IDEAL FOR
Wineries with a WordPress website and a tasting room who want a modern point-of-sale system, a powerful wine club management solution, and an intuitive online store.

VineSpring
There are a number of ecommerce solutions built specifically for wineries, such as Commerce7, WineDirect, Orderport and VineSpring. Rather than just allowing for online sales, these systems also provide wine club management, wine allocations, and varying levels of POS integrations. These options can be too costly for small wineries, and many of the features go unused. Yet for wineries with a high volume of sales and members, a wine-specific solution is usually the best solution. A great choice for a solution of this caliber is VineSpring.
COSTS
Activation Fee: Free
Website Integration Fee (to website developer): ~$1500, not supported by Vinbound
Monthly Fee: $99-399
Transaction Fee: 3 – 3.5%
IDEAL FOR
Wineries who want a nicely integrated online store that also provides wine club and allocation management.

WineDirect (Formerly Vin65)
WineDirect is often called the Rolls Royce ecommerce solution for wineries… packed full of features, but at the highest price. For sure, WineDirect is among the best in the wine ecommerce game, with countless features you should review on their website. However, while their ecommerce solutions are excellent, be wary of building your entire website with one of their “free” website templates. Compared to popular website platforms like WordPress or Squarespace, trying to edit your website using the WineDirect website builder is cumbersome and confusing. The backend is not intuitive at all, and your free website soon ends up costing a fortune in tech support for even the smallest edits. We are of the firm belief that WineDirect and others should focus solely on improving their ecommerce functionality while leaving the core website to the much more developed, community-rich platforms of WordPress, Squarespace, Shopify, etc.. So if you go with WineDirect, here is our advice: Hire Vinbound or another website developer to craft your ideal, beautiful, easily-editable core website, then use a WineDirect ecommerce integrator like Tarfoot or WineWorks.co to match the style of your WineDirect(Vin65) ecommerce store to the rest of your beautiful website. The result will be a website you love and can easily edit, empowered by all the ecommerce features you need from WineDirect. Win Win!
COSTS
Core Website (To Vinbound or other developer): $3000-6000+
Ecommerce Integration Fee (to WineWorks, Tarfoot or other WineDirect Developer): $1500+
WineDirect Fees: $249-599/month
IDEAL FOR
Wineries who want one powerful system to manage all POS, online and club transactions.
