Best POS For Wineries

Revel’s baseline contract requires a two-terminal minimum under a three-year standard commitment. This is the only way to secure the lowest pricing.

Some features, such as online ordering and delivery, are paid monthly add-ons.

Revel offers a full suite of tools that make it one of the most flexible POS systems for wineries, combining retail, restaurant, and event management features in one platform.

Key wine-specific features include:

• Alcohol shipping compliance for online orders to help you stay legally covered.
• Liquid inventory tracking and waste reports to monitor pours and reduce loss.
• Flexible wine sales options: sell by the glass, bottle, case, or mix-and-match, with detailed inventory breakdowns.
• Custom tax settings and reports for alcohol sales and mixed transactions.

Other standout features for wineries:

• Customizable ordering screens for serving wine by glass or bottle, plus scheduled or recurring sales (perfect for new releases).
• Integrated online store for selling wine, food, or merchandise with pickup, delivery, and shipping options — including delivery monitoring and order minimums.
• Online appointment scheduling for classes, private tastings, or winery tours.
• Multilocation tools to manage stock transfers between sites.
• Catering management with built-in event scheduling and detailed catering reports.

Revel is iPad-based, and you can turn an iPad into a POS register, kitchen display system (KDS), customer-facing display, and self-serve kiosk.

Other hardware, such as credit card readers and barcode scanners, will have to be purchased from Revel (a representative will give you a quote), or you have to get written permission from Revel to purchase specific Revel-compatible items on your own.

Revel offers an in-house payment processing solution, Revel Advantage. Each business will get a custom quoted flat rate processing fee, which will largely depend on your business’s sales volumes, average ticket size, and time in business.

You may integrate Revel with another payment processor, such as Chase Payments, Worldpay, TSYS, or Adyen. You may have to pay an extra monthly fee to do so.

Revel’s standard contract term is three years, with a steep early termination fee if you cancel.

However, you can negotiate a shorter-term contract until you’re sure that Revel is what you need for your winery.

All plans come with one register and Lightspeed’s integrated payment processor, Lightspeed Payments.

Additional POS registers can also be added for an extra monthly cost.

Third-party integrations may come with additional fees.

Lightspeed Retail’s standout features for wineries include:

• Advanced inventory tools: Create detailed inventory breakdowns and composite items so you can sell wine by the glass, bottle, or case.
• Smart purchase orders: Automatically generate purchase orders based on minimum stock levels, POS recommendations, and backorders.
• Vendor catalog management: Sync pricing and availability directly from your suppliers for easier restocking.
• Automated tracking: Track partial inventory deductions when selling individual glasses from a bottle.
• B2B sales management: Build exclusive online catalogs for wholesale clients with custom accounts and credit limits.

Lightspeed also supports a wide range of integrations ideal for wineries:

• Booxi for private tastings, classes, and event rentals.
• Drizly for online alcohol sales and delivery (one of the few POS systems with this integration).
• QuoteMachine to manage wine club subscriptions and custom bottle orders.

Lightspeed works on iPads and browsers, so you’re able to use both smartphones and desktop/laptop computers. You can buy these directly from Lightspeed or bring your own.

You can also buy items such as barcode scanners, cash drawers, and receipt printers from Lightspeed, or source Lightspeed-compatible ones on your own. Lightspeed also offers full kits tailored to specific industries. Only custom quote pricing is available.

Lightspeed Payments, Lightspeed’s in-house payment processor, charges a payment processing fee of 2.6% + $0.10 per in-person transaction. Card-not-present rates are 2.9% + $0.30 and include manually keyed-in cards as well as online orders.

Individuals on the Advanced plan will get a custom Lightspeed Payments processing rate.

While you’ll get the best pricing on an annual Lightspeed plan, there is an early termination fee if you cancel your plan early. Until you’re sure Lightspeed is the POS for you, consider signing up for a monthly plan.

If you purchase hardware from Lightspeed, you must verify that you have received it within five business days, or it won’t qualify for the hardware warranty (14 days for Apple products, 30 days for other products).

There are several paid add-ons available, including:

Wineries are going to need to purchase the KORONA Food add-on for an additional fee per terminal.

There are a couple of extra packages you can add to your monthly plan, but most of them are going to be more than wineries need unless you have multiple locations and are planning on selling tickets for major events at your locations.

KORONA’s open API access feature allows you to build an integration between your POS and any other third-party software, which can be very useful if you have certain software you already use or are very interested in.

KORONA’s standout features cover inventory management, winery-specific integrations, and sales reporting.

Inventory Management: Automate reordering by setting minimum stock levels and letting the system generate purchase orders based on real-time sales data. Customers can even pre-order items online, triggering vendor requests for out-of-stock products.

Winery-Specific Integrations:

• bLoyal: Manages wine club memberships, subscriptions, and loyalty programs, plus built-in email and SMS marketing tools.
• Bottlecapps: Builds custom eCommerce sites or mobile apps for your winery.
• City Hive: Helps retailers and distributors sell online with eCommerce tools, digital marketing, and compliance support.

Sales Reporting: KORONA replaces complex reports with a visual, easy-to-navigate dashboard that highlights top-performing wines, key customer behaviors, and overall sales trends — helping you make smarter decisions about promotions, hours, and product strategy.

KORONA POS can run on browsers, iPads, and hardware from Epson, PartnerTech, PAX, Genius, Dejavoo, Econduit, Aures, and Honeywell.

You can purchase these yourself and follow KORONA’s directions to integrate them for no added fee.

KORONA POS does not have in-house payment processing but has opted to remain processor-agnostic, meaning that you can integrate your POS with any of several payment service providers.

This includes some of the best high-risk merchant account providers for businesses that sell alcohol.

KORONA POS has excellent contract terms, with month-to-month contracts and no cancellation fees.

You will have to sign a contract with your merchant services provider (which also processes transactions) and may run into long-term contracts with early termination fees unless you carefully read and negotiate your merchant agreement.

Shopify POS plans are month-to-month, but you can save money if you sign up for an annual plan.

• Marketplace integrations: Connect to major wine marketplaces and custom sales channels.
• Customer accounts: Store cards on file for faster repeat purchases.
• Shipping suite: Manage pickups, deliveries, and global shipping with tracking numbers.

Larger wineries will appreciate the built-in shipping and fulfillment tools, plus additional wholesale and logistics integrations for scaling operations

Shopify offers a lot of POS hardware, ranging from the Shopify card reader that you can use with a mobile phone to retail kits for iPads.

Check out our post on Shopify hardware to determine what hardware you need and what you can expect to pay.

Shopify has an in-house payment processor, Shopify Payments, which you are required to use if you don’t want to pay any transaction fees. The advertised in-person rates range from 2.4% – 2.7%.

The higher your plan is, the less you’ll have to pay in fees. If you process a lot of payments every month, consider getting on a higher-level plan.

If you decide against using Shopify Payments, you’ll be charged a transaction fee per transaction. Payment processing providers such as 2Checkout, Adyen, Chase Payment Solutions, and National Processing all integrate with Shopify. This may be a good idea for businesses that don’t want to use the flat-rate pricing model and instead want the more cost-effective (but more involved) interchange-plus payment processing model.

You are permitted to use Shopify Payments to sell alcohol, but you must apply to use it and show Shopify that you have an age restriction system in place, have a winery license, and intend to follow all local and national alcohol sales laws that apply to your store.

You won’t have to worry about long-term contracts with Shopify. All POS plans are month-to-month and there’s no early termination fee to worry about.

There are contract options like annual or bi-annual plans that you could sign up for to save a little each month, but make sure you read all of the terms of service before signing up.

All plans come with one register and Lightspeed’s in-house payment processing system, Lightspeed Payments. Extra registers incur an additional monthly fee.

Lightspeed Restaurant offers a wide range of features designed to streamline operations for wineries, tasting rooms, and inns, including:

• Hotel & Guest Management Integrations: StayNTouch and WebRezPro connect hotel reservations, check-ins, housekeeping, and restaurant management into one system.
• Liquid Inventory Management: BevSpot integration helps you track pours, reduce waste, and optimize ordering.
• Reservation & Waitlist Management: OpenTable integration makes it easy to manage table status, waitlists, and seating for busy tasting rooms or restaurants.
• Loyalty & Membership Programs: Como lets guests earn and redeem points at meals and subscribe to wine club memberships.
• Event Booking: Create and sell tickets for private dinners, tastings, or events directly through your online ordering page.
• Inventory Control: Manage perishable goods, set up combo deals, time-based discounts, and break down cases or bottles for single-glass sales. Generate purchase orders and invoices by vendor.
• Server & Kitchen Management: The quick-serve POS mode helps staff take customized orders fast and syncs them directly with Lightspeed’s kitchen display system.
• Multi-Location Oversight: Rearrange floor plans, monitor multiple restaurants, and oversee several locations.

Lightspeed sells compatible hardware and gives users a list of compatible devices if they want to source hardware themselves.

Lightspeed Payments, Lightspeed’s in-house payment processor, charges a fee of 2.6% + $0.10 per in-person payment and 2.9% + $0.30 per card-not-present payment.

If you’re on the Premium plan or a custom enterprise-level plan, you’ll get a custom payment processing fee depending on your business’s sales volumes and average ticket size, among other factors.

You get much better pricing on the annual plan than you do on the monthly plan. However, if you cancel your plan early, there is an early termination fee. Consider a monthly plan until you’re sure Lightspeed is the POS for you.

Also, to qualify for Lightspeed’s hardware warranty (14 days for Apple products, 30 days for other products), you must verify that you have received it within five business days.
