frequently asked questions

What are the available options for migrating from WineDirect to Commerce7?

We offer three primary migration paths to suit your winery’s needs:

  • Store Integration: For wineries with existing websites on platforms like WordPress or Squarespace, we integrate Commerce7 into your current site. Originally priced at $1,750, this service is now free, as Commerce7 covers the cost for wineries.
  • Layout-Based Website + Store Integration: Ideal for those seeking a refreshed website design, this option includes a new website layout tailored for wineries and integrated with Commerce7. The DIY version is free, while our White-Glove Service is available for $2,000.
  • Custom Design Website + Store Integration: For a fully customized website experience, we offer this comprehensive package starting at $9,250, which includes bespoke design, SEO setup, and full Commerce7 integration.

Each option is designed to ensure a seamless transition with minimal disruption to your operations.

How does the migration process handle our existing data from WineDirect?

The migration process involves two main data imports:

  • First Import: Conducted shortly after your kick-off call, this import includes customers, club memberships, orders, credit cards, and gift cards.
  • Final Import: Scheduled one business day before your go-live date, this captures all new and updated data since the first import.

A Top-Up Import is also performed one day after launch to ensure any data added between the final import and launch is included. It’s important to note that certain data, like bundles, may require manual setup in Commerce7 due to differences in system configurations.

Will our customers experience any disruptions during the migration?

Our goal is to ensure a smooth transition with minimal impact on your customers. By carefully planning the migration timeline and coordinating data imports, we aim to prevent disruptions to customer experiences. However, it’s advisable to communicate with your customers about the upcoming changes, especially regarding account access and any new features they can expect.

What support is available during and after the migration?

We provide comprehensive support throughout the migration process, including:

  • Personalized Meetings: Design kick-off, website review, and training sessions.
  • Full Website Development: Content gathering, optimization, and population.
  • Website Launch Services: Hosting setup, domain pointing, quality assurance testing, and recorded training.

Post-launch, we offer ongoing support to ensure your website and Commerce7 integration continue to operate smoothly.

How does Commerce7 enhance our winery's eCommerce capabilities compared to WineDirect?
