Two Systems. One Easy Solution.
You can sell through Vinoshipper on a Shopify store. But that means running two sets of everything through two separate systems. Two systems means double the work and double the order management.
- Two order histories: Alcohol orders live in Vinoshipper. Your admin, reports, and customer profiles live on Shopify.
- Two sets of connections: Your ad tracking and email flows have to be connected on the Vinoshipper side too, then kept in sync with the Shopify side.
- Apps that miss the sale: Reviews, loyalty, upsells, and the other apps you installed in Shopify can't act on an order Shopify never saw.
Fixing it yourself gets messy.
DIY-ing a solution can be done. But it can also be messy.
The embed can fight your theme. Without the right workaround, you could watch entire theme sections break or disappear.
The app patchwork rarely holds. Many of our clients tried stitching different Shopify apps together to handle alcohol sales online and in-house… and then gave up when the technical requirements become overwhelming.
About the Vinoshipper Shopify Checkout App
The Vinoshipper Shopify Checkout App connects Shopify's checkout to Vinoshipper's compliance engine, so each platform does what it does best.
-
For your customers
- One store, one cart, one checkout, from first click to order confirmation.
- An age gate styled to match your site (and your label).
- A birthdate prompt at checkout for compliance verification.
-
For your team
- Every order is a Shopify order, so your Shopify apps and integrations can keep working on alcohol sales.
- Valid orders pass from Shopify to Vinoshipper automatically.
- Fulfillment status syncs back to Shopify when Vinoshipper ships.
-
Vinoshipper for compliance
- Vinoshipper runs real-time compliance checks on every order.
- Compliant tax filing and reporting.
- Sell compliantly in every state allowed
Why We Built It
Our ecommerce agency has been supporting ecommerce businesses since 1999 with custom app development, integrations, and platform migrations. DTC alcohol is our specialty and conversion rate optimization runs through every project we touch. We saw how important it was for our clients selling wine, mead, beer, cider and spirits to have the alcohol compliance of Vinoshipper functioning in the background while the checkout experience remained within the Shopify platform to support conversions.
Your App is Live in a Week: Installed, Configured, and Customized
You don't install anything yourself. Our app integration service includes:
- App setup: installation, your Vinoshipper API key, connection configuration, and an age gate styled to your brand.
- Shopify setup: state alcohol tax overrides, shipping profiles matched to your permitted states, and checkout compliance configuration.
- Demo and launch: a review of every setting, a walkthrough of the customer and admin experience, written documentation, launch, and up to two hours of support after you go live.
