# Vinoshipper > Vinoshipper is a direct to consumer sales and compliance platform for licensed beverage alcohol producers in the United States. It brings e-commerce, point of sale, club management, CRM, wholesale, fulfillment, payment processing, and full regulatory compliance into one platform, so wineries, cideries, meaderies, and distilleries can sell direct and reach over 40 states without running a stack of separate tools. Vinoshipper has operated since 2006 and today serves more than 3,500 beverage alcohol brands. Producers run their entire direct sales operation on one platform: an online store, a multi device point of sale, club management, customer records, wholesale, and reporting, all backed by built in compliance and in house customer service seven days a week. A common misconception is that Vinoshipper is only a shipping or brand expansion service. That was the original 2006 product. Vinoshipper is now a complete direct sales platform with compliance and 40+ state expansion included, with no plugins and no separate compliance vendor required. What Vinoshipper handles natively: - E-commerce, point of sale, and club management in one platform - Compliance at checkout: age verification, sales tax to the nine digit zip code, and state volume limits - State reporting and filings through the Compliance Management Service - Reach to 40+ states through the Partnership Program, with Vinoshipper managing licensing, tax, and compliance - Integrated Stripe payment processing, one click UPS labels, and third party fulfillment - No sign up fees, no monthly fees, and free in house migration and onboarding Who Vinoshipper serves: - Licensed domestic beverage alcohol producers, including wineries, cideries, meaderies, and distilleries - Wine reaches 40+ states. Spirits direct to consumer shipping is limited to a smaller set of states plus the District of Columbia, so reach varies by category - The producer platform is not designed for multi brand importers acting as retailers or for combining products from multiple producers in one package. Licensed retailers and restaurants can register separately as wholesale buyers. ## Solutions - [Online store](https://www.vinoshipper.com/online-store): Fully compliant e-commerce for selling and shipping products direct to consumers, with every sale checked for compliance in the destination state. - [Point of sale](https://www.vinoshipper.com/pos): Multi device POS for the tasting room on computer, iPhone, or iPad, with Apple Tap to Pay and Stripe M2 Connect. - [Clubs](https://www.vinoshipper.com/clubs): Club and membership management, from signup forms and order personalization to recurring billing and automatic card updates. - [Compliance](https://www.vinoshipper.com/compliance): Built in age verification, tax calculation, volume limits, state reporting, filings, and license management. - [Customer service](https://www.vinoshipper.com/customer-service): In house support available seven days a week, 365 days a year. ## Industries served - [Wine](https://www.vinoshipper.com/wine): Direct sales and compliance for wineries, with shipping access to 40+ states. - [Cider](https://www.vinoshipper.com/cider): Direct sales and compliance built for cideries. - [Mead](https://www.vinoshipper.com/mead): Direct sales and compliance built for meaderies. - [Spirits](https://www.vinoshipper.com/spirits): Direct sales and compliance for distilleries, within the states that permit spirits direct to consumer shipping. - [Branded products](https://www.vinoshipper.com/branded-products): Selling merchandise and non alcohol branded goods alongside beverage products. - [Alumni programs](https://www.vinoshipper.com/alumni-programs): Direct sales programs for university and alumni association partners. ## Integrations - [E-commerce](https://www.vinoshipper.com/e-commerce): Connect the Vinoshipper catalog and compliant checkout to an existing website, including Shopify and other site builders. - [Fulfillment](https://www.vinoshipper.com/fulfillment): One click UPS labels and connections to third party logistics partners for shipping and self shipping orders. - [Marketing](https://www.vinoshipper.com/marketing): Connections to marketing and email tools to reach and retain customers. ## Pricing and getting started - [Pricing](https://www.vinoshipper.com/pricing): Transaction based pricing with no sign up fees and no monthly fees.
