Big news in the DTC wine world – Commerce7 has officially acquired WineDirect’s SaaS division. What does that mean? If you’re currently running your website and store on WineDirect, it’s time to start planning your next steps. But don’t stress – we’ve got a streamlined path forward, and in many cases, it’s easier (and more affordable) than you think.
What’s Changing, and Why It Matters
WineDirect is winding down its website platform and online store. So if your winery uses WineDirect for both your store and website, you’ll need a new site on a modern platform like WordPress or Squarespace, paired with a Commerce7 integration.
Already have a separate site on WordPress or Squarespace? You’re ahead of the game – just plug in Commerce7 and you’re good to go.
The upside? You’re moving to a system built for today’s DTC expectations – think sleek storefronts, smart club tools, and better marketing integrations.
