Online Payment Processing for Alcohol Businesses
Website Payment Pro provides professional merchant accounts tailored for alcohol beverage organizations, ranging from artisan microbreweries to large-scale online retailers.
Our merchant accounts cater to retail and wholesale businesses that sell alcoholic beverages, including wine and liquor. While some providers avoid the heavily regulated alcohol sector, Website Payment Pro has proudly served alcohol merchants since 1993, offering credit card solutions designed for viability and growth. Accept credit, debit, ACH transfers, and gift cards in-store, online, or over the phone with merchant services customized to your business type.
Available Credit Card Processing
We process applications 24/7. You don't need a complicated, drawn-out settlement process that detracts from customer service and financial collection. Even if you offer great products at low prices, if customers can't access your services quickly, they might look elsewhere. Consumers are more likely to become regulars when all their shopping experiences are fast and hassle-free. That's precisely what our in-store credit card processing solutions facilitate.
The Point of Sale (POS) systems and standalone terminals we provide are designed for practicality, speed, and reliability. Accept EMV chip, swipe, and NFC payments like Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, and Android Pay quickly and efficiently. Use handheld wireless terminals to process payments on the go. Or customize your POS setup for your specific needs. We work with you, assess your requirements, and design a system that works best for you. Enjoy next-day funding through your merchant account, lower interchange rates, transparent pricing with no hidden fees, and fast transactional processing.
Accept Credit Cards Online
Selling alcohol online carries more risk due to the challenge of verifying the buyer's age and complying with applicable laws. But when your online alcohol business is covered from every angle, we can reduce your processing costs. That's why Website Payment Pro provides advanced age verification software for ecommerce liquor businesses. Our Age Checker software verifies a customer's age before your payment gateway processes an order, protecting your online liquor business from underage sales.
With each ecommerce alcohol merchant account, we offer:
- Integration support to connect your online payment gateway with age verification software, accounting systems, CRM solutions, shopping carts, inventory tracking, and other third-party programs
- Customized chargeback prevention assistance
- Advanced fraud detection suite with customizable filters and thresholds
- Expert advice on areas such as shipping methodologies, refund policies, and compliance
For more information about the tools and resources your high-risk alcohol business needs to thrive online, contact us. One of our account specialists will be happy to answer any questions you have in a no-obligation consultation.
Accept Phone Payments
Accepting credit card payments over the phone can be risky. We provide Address Verification Service (AVS) and Card Verification Value (CVV) for internet and phone-based transactions to filter out fraudulent credit card transactions. Our fraud and chargeback prevention support aims to verify identities before you ship and/or deliver, preventing an influx of fraud chargeback cases.
We offer online terminals accessible through most internet-connected devices. No downloads or software installations are required. Everything is available on our servers.
Mobile, Portable Transactions
We can provide you with mobile applications with a small credit card reader that connects to your smartphone or portable internet-connected device, ideal for processing transactions on the go. Breweries, vineyards, and other businesses that service large areas greatly benefit from being able to process payments at any location with access to WiFi or 3G or better internet connections. This is convenient for accepting credit cards wherever your business takes you, such as residences, trade events, and anywhere in between. Our mobile solutions are pocket-sized yet powerful and offer the best in mobility.
B2B Payment Processing Software
Do you supply alcoholic beverages to restaurants, bars, stores, or other businesses? If most of your credit card transactions are business-to-business, you can benefit from B2B credit card processing. The major card networks (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, and JCB) offer reduced interchange rates for B2B payments. These Level 2 and Level 3 transactions include more information and better transactional data, providing additional protection against chargebacks and fraud. As a result, they are less costly to process. We provide in-store and web-based B2B transaction software that can save your business hundreds to thousands monthly in interchange fees. This is an excellent option for wholesale alcohol merchants or any businesses that charge other businesses regularly.
How to Get Started
Merchants must apply with the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) and obtain authorization before starting a business in this industry. The TTB is primarily responsible for enforcing the Federal Alcohol Administration (FAA).
Once your business has the required permits and is up to speed on regulations, launching a merchant account begins with reaching out. Contact us for more information.
