New integration brings transparent, negotiable payment processing across ecommerce, wine club, and the tasting room, with a no-obligation way to compare costs first
July 7, 2026 (Napa, CA) — vinSUITE, the software platform built for the winery direct-to-consumer market, today announced a partnership with Propelr to give wineries a new payment processing option across ecommerce, wine club, and tasting room transactions.
The integration gives wineries more than one payment processing option to choose from, along with transparent, negotiable processing and live, 24/7 support. Rather than being limited to a single provider, wineries can choose the option that fits how their business runs, and revisit that choice as their needs change.
Payment processing can be one of the most significant recurring costs for a winery’s DTC business, yet many wineries do not have a clear view of what they are paying, where fees are coming from, or whether better options are available. The Propelr integration is built to help change that.
Before committing to anything, wineries can request a complimentary, no-obligation statement analysis that compares their current processing costs against Propelr’s pricing. The analysis is designed to identify potential savings opportunities, unnecessary or hidden processor fees, and effective-rate improvements so wineries can make a more informed decision before switching.
“Wineries tell us all the time that payment processing is hard to understand, hard to compare, and hard to change,” said Jimmy Wu, President of vinSUITE. “With Propelr, they get a clearer look at their costs and a practical way to evaluate a new option across the tools they already use to run their club, tasting room, and online store.”
Through the integration, wineries can accept credit cards, debit cards, ACH, online invoices, and digital wallets. Payments can be taken online, over the phone, and in person across wine club, ecommerce, and TabletPOS.
Propelr backs the integration with 24/7 live support, real-time reporting down to the transaction, and the option to offset processing fees through a compliant surcharge program, where available. For wineries that decide to move forward, Propelr specialists help manage the transition so they can continue taking payments without disruption.
“Partnering with an industry leader like vinSUITE is an incredible opportunity to help wineries streamline their operations across all sales channels,” said Michael Mertz, President at Propelr. “By combining our advanced payment technology with vinSUITE’s robust platform, wineries have the tools and confidence they need to manage their payments smoothly, securely, and seamlessly.”
The Propelr payment option is available now across vinSUITE.
