We are excited to share a major update in our WinePOS product journey: WinePOS Payments. As part of our commitment to offering the most comprehensive, efficient, and valuable payment solutions for wine and liquor stores, we’re focusing on WinePOS Payments as our all-in-one payment platform for both in-store and e-commerce transactions.
Why This Matters to You
At WinePOS, we aim to deliver industry-leading Point of Sale (POS), e-commerce, and payment solutions tailored to the unique needs of wine and liquor retailers. Over the years, we’ve introduced innovations like:
Docupiler: Automatic purchase order imports to save on in-store labor.
V-Droid: A mobile solution for quick and easy inventory updates.
Wine of the Month Program: Streamlined management and promotion of customer loyalty.
Remote In-Store Access: Manage your store remotely with ease.
Ecommerce & Delivery Integrations: Expand your reach with seamless online and delivery options.
And we’re not stopping there. Our goal is to continue evolving and improving, ensuring we solve the challenges that are unique to your business.
Why We Are Shifting to WinePOS Payments
The world of payments is rapidly changing. We’ve seen a shift from relying on multiple integrated third-party services to a preference for all-in-one, end-to-end solutions with embedded services. To keep pace with these changes, we’ve had to support multiple payment gateways—including Payware Connect and Datacap—which have required significant resources to maintain and integrate.
As we move forward, we’re focusing on WinePOS Payments as our primary payment solution. By consolidating our resources into one unified platform, we’ll be able to:
Streamline payment processing and offer more robust features such as surcharge and cash discount.
Deliver better value and an enhanced user experience.
Speed up development of new product features, helping your business stay ahead of the competition.
Transitioning to WinePOS Payments
We’re committed to making this transition as smooth as possible. For most of our customers, migrating to WinePOS Payments will be seamless, and we’ll provide detailed instructions specific to your region in the coming weeks. If you prefer to stay on the Datacap gateway instead of moving to WinePOS Payments, please be aware that there will be a price increase due to the rising costs of maintaining this external gateway. These increases will take effect January 1st, 2025.
