Vinespring
There are a number of ecommerce solutions built specifically for wineries, such as Vin65, Orderport and Vinespring. Rather than just allowing for online sales, these systems also provide wine club management and wine allocations. These options can be too costly for small wineries, and many of the features go unused. Yet for larger wineries, or those with robust online sales, this can be an ideal solution. A great choice for a solution of this caliber is Vinespring.
COSTS
Initiation Fee (to Vinespring): $1000
Website Integration Fee (to Vinbound): $1500
Monthly Fee: $179-249
Transaction Fee: $0
IDEAL FOR
Wineries with a WordPress website who want a nicely integrated online store that also provides wine club and allocation management.
