Why Winemakers Choose PromoLab for Shopify POS
Built for Washington Wine - Because We've Lived Your Pain Points
For 25 years, we built custom platforms for Washington's most complex wine operations, including Quilceda Creek's infrastructure. We've heard the same stories from tasting rooms across the region: OrderPort's sluggish performance during release weekends, Commerce7's customization limits that create more workarounds than solutions.
You don't need another agency telling you what's wrong. You need one that knows why these bottlenecks happen - and how to get you onto a system that doesn't have them.
Shopify POS is the first platform we've recommended that solves these core problems without requiring compromise. When you migrate with PromoLab, you're not just getting Shopify - you're getting a team that already knows your tasting room workflows, compliance headaches, and growth bottlenecks from the inside.
Proof: Several Washington wineries founded by former Quilceda Creek team members - including Gjallerhorn, Florence Cellars, and Piolet - run on the Shopify platform through PromoLab. They chose us because we speak fluent winery operations, not just tech.
Simplify operations from tasting room to online
Here's How Shopify POS Solves Those Bottlenecks—Out of the Box
Stop juggling systems for wine club, tasting room, and online store. Shopify POS gives you a single dashboard for all your sales channels, so you can see what’s selling, who’s buying, and where inventory lives. After 25 years of custom-building these integrations for wineries, we've never seen a native solution this seamless.
One Back Office, One Login
No more separate spreadsheets or manual adjustments. Whether you sell a case at a tasting or online, your inventory updates instantly, even across multiple locations. This is what our former Quilceda Creek clients demanded for allocation management. Shopify delivers it without custom code.
Unified Inventory
Get real-time insights into performance across all locations. Track tasting room revenue vs. online orders, see your top-selling wines, and identify loyal customers who drive repeat business. We use these reports to help wineries optimize their release strategies, something we learned managing millions in DTC sales for Washington elite producers.
Centralized Reporting
Assign staff roles, manage permissions, and track sales performance. Reward top sellers or train team members using built-in analytics. No long training sessions, we have seen staff pick it up almost immediately. Shopify's interface is what we'd wished for all along.
Streamlined Staff Management
From card readers to barcode scanners, Shopify hardware is designed to work seamlessly out of the box. One provider. One support team. We know high turnover can happen in tasting rooms. This training curve is a fraction of what legacy platforms require.
Integrated Payments and Hardware
Capture your customer information seamlessly at checkout and use insights to improve buying experiences. We handle the hardware logistics so you don't have to. We've built custom hardware integrations before. Shopify's out-of-the-box compatibility saves weeks of setup.
Customer Management
Jim at PromoLab took our small winery to the next level. He built us a new commerce website on Shopify with nationwide shipping as well as an integrated, consumer-friendly POS. Our online presence has grown immensely, opening new revenue streams. Jim's care and attention made all the difference.

What to Expect
Unlike other agencies that rush you live and disappear, we treat this as a partnership. Here’s how we move your winery to Shopify without disrupting your tasting room sales.
Phase 1: Discovery & Architecture
We audit your current platform (OrderPort, Commerce7, or custom), map your customer data, and architect the Shopify setup around your tasting room workflows, club structures, and compliance needs. You keep selling normally.
Phase 2: Commerce Site Build & Migration
We build your new Shopify store, migrate products, customer data, and order history. We configure Washington/Oregon compliance settings for shipping rules and taxation. You review and approve everything before go-live.
Phase 3: POS Configuration & Integration
We set up Shopify POS for your tasting room (or pop-up setup), unify inventory across all channels, and test the sync between online and in-person sales. Staff training begins here and goes quickly!
Phase 4: Soft Launch & Optimization
We run a quiet launch with your team, fine-tune workflows, and optimize the checkout experience. You control the launch date - we don't flip a switch and run.
Phase 5: You're Live, We're Still Here
This is where we're different: we'll continue to help and be available post-launch. New staff training, workflow tweaks, release-weekend troubleshooting - we stay in your corner.
Frequently Asked Questions
"Will I lose my customer data or club members?"
No. Your customer and order data is fully migrated.
We migrate all core customer information, tags, order history, and members status. Wine clubs often need updated logic when moving platforms, so we'll evaluate your current rules and make recommendations where it makes sense, making sure nothing is lost and everything works cleanly on the new system.
"What about Washington compliance, does Shopify POS handle winery compliance or reporting?"
Shopify can fully support Washington wineries. We review your current compliance workflow and configure a setup that fits your business. For real-time tax/compliance, Shopify integrates with DRINKS, Avalara, and many other tools. We also handle WA-specific requirements: tasting room tax rates, pickup vs shipping rules, and multi-location reporting.
"What if my tasting room staff can't learn it?"
Shopify POS is designed for high-turnover retail and seasonal staff. Most people are confidently selling in under an hour. We'll provide training and resources to get you up to speed.
"How is this different from Commerce7, WineDirect, or Orderport?"
Shopify is more flexible, faster, and built on one of the most reliable commerce platforms in the world. Unlike Commerce7 and Orderport, Shopify gives you:
-
Industry-leading POS hardware built for fast tasting-room service
-
Full ownership of your data with clean exports and no locked-down fields
-
No percentage-of-sales fees that scale out of control as you grow
-
A massive app ecosystem for clubs, allocations, events, subscriptions, and more
-
Far more design freedom for your storefront, checkout, and mobile experience
-
Global-level stability and uptime, even during club releases or high-traffic moments
And with PromoLab, you get an ongoing partner, not just a launch.
"Will my online store be down during migration?"
No. We build your new Shopify store on a staging domain. Your current site stays live until you're ready to switch. Zero downtime.
"Do you really do post-migration support?"
Yes. Wineries need a long-term partner. We stay with you for updates, club releases, promotions, and staff changes.
“Can Shopify handle my wine club?”
Yes - but every winery is different with different needs and we'll help set that up.
We'll configure the system for you - billing schedules, releases, allocations, tagging, and member workflows - so your club runs smoothly in Shopify just like it does today, often with a better customer experience. We’ll review how your current club works, choose the right tools, and rebuild your club structure so your members transition seamlessly.
Does Shopify POS work for multiple tasting rooms?
Yes. Shopify manages per-location inventory, tax rules, staff permissions, and reporting - whether you have one tasting room or several, and even pop-ups.
