Frequently asked questions
Do these Shopify apps work with AccelPay?
Yes. AccelPay runs inside your Shopify store rather than replacing it, so you keep your theme and your apps. The AccelPay Fulfillment app routes each alcohol order to a licensed retailer, and the rest of your Shopify app stack keeps working alongside it.
Can I run alcohol subscriptions on Shopify?
Yes. Many of our clients use Recharge and similar subscription apps, and Recharge is one of the recommended Shopify apps in our portfolio.
Do alcohol affiliate programs have extra rules?
Yes. Industry advertising codes require at least 73.8% of the audience to be 21+ for spirits (Distilled Spirits Council) and 73.6% for beer (Beer Institute). Paid posts need a clear #Ad or #Sponsored disclosure, with no health claims and a responsible drinking message.
Can I sell alcohol on Shopify?
Yes, when a licensed retailer sells and ships the alcohol. With AccelPay, a licensed retailer in the buyer's state is the seller of record, so you can reach 40+ states from your own Shopify store without your own retail license.
