For WineDirect wineries

Leaving WineDirect? Move to a store you own.

WineDirect Classic retires on December 31, 2026. Commerce7 is the default next step, and for some wineries it is the right one. If you would rather sell from your own Shopify store, here is how the options compare and what moves.

Three real paths, side by side.

Each one works. They differ on who owns the checkout, how compliance is handled, and what you pay as you grow.

What WineDirect wineries ask us.

WineDirect Classic retires on December 31, 2026, per WineDirect's own site. Commerce7, which acquired WineDirect's software business, is the default path WineDirect offers. WineDirect Fulfillment is a separate business and continues.
Customers and club members come across by CSV, and saved cards come across where your payment processor allows it; anyone whose card doesn't gets a payment-setup link, not a request to sign up again. Products sync from Vinoshipper, or are matched to your ShipCompliant product keys. Your site design, customer passwords and custom club rules do not move automatically, and we list them in writing before anything starts.
No. CrushSuite Compliance integrates with Vinoshipper and with Sovos ShipCompliant, and your licenses stay yours either way. If you want someone to handle filings for you, Vinoshipper says its team handles license applications, renewals and state tax reports (vinoshipper.com/pricing).
No. CrushSuite Compliance and Clubs run without Shopify Plus, inside the checkout you already use.
At about $8,000 a month direct, $5,000 of it club, CrushSuite comes to about $345 a month; at about $40,000 with $25,000 of it club, the Bundle comes to about $524. Your Shopify plan, card processing and your compliance provider's fees are separate, and every price is on our pricing page. Setup through CrushSuite Studio is a fixed $2,500.
