Liquor & Wine Stores Payment Processing

Available to liquor and wine stores in all 50 states.

Liquor and wine stores see larger average tickets than most retail, so the percentage you pay on each sale matters. LimnPay sets up checkout that works with liquor store POS systems and a pricing program built around your basket size.

The challenges

What liquor and wine stores run into

Percentage fees on large baskets

A case of wine or a top-shelf bottle carries a large card fee, and it adds up across a busy weekend.

POS systems built for the category

Liquor stores often run POS software built for the category, and processing has to work with it.

Busy weekend and holiday rushes

Peak days need checkout that keeps up without errors or downtime.

Statements that hide the real cost

Bundled or tiered pricing makes it hard to tell what you pay on each sale.

Pricing options

Every pricing option, not one plan

We usually start with dual pricing or a cash discount program. If you are already competitive or do not want to pass fees on to customers, we build an interchange-plus program instead. Larger baskets make the percentage fee the biggest cost, so dual pricing and cash discount programs are popular. Interchange-plus is there for stores that prefer not to pass fees on.

Dual pricing

Your register shows a card price and a cash price, and the customer chooses how to pay.

Cash discount

You post one price, and customers who pay cash get a discount at checkout.

Interchange-plus

You pay the card networks' actual cost plus a fixed markup, itemized on every statement, with no fee shown to customers.

Programs are set up to follow card-brand rules and state law. We quote from your real statement, not a rate sheet.
