# AccelPay > AccelPay is the modern commerce infrastructure for alcohol brands — three-tier-compliant DTC ecommerce, payments, fulfillment, and analytics, connecting brand websites to 200+ licensed retailers across 40+ U.S. states. AccelPay powers compliant direct-to-consumer alcohol commerce for spirits, wine, and beer brands. The platform integrates with brand websites (Shopify, WordPress, headless), routes orders through licensed retailers in a three-tier-compliant manner, handles payments and tax, and delivers customer data and marketing analytics back to brand owners. AccelPay merged with ReserveBar in 2026, combining AccelPay's checkout/Shopify infrastructure with ReserveBar's 3,500+ retailer fulfillment network and same-day delivery via Minibar, GoPuff, DoorDash, and 7-Eleven.

Customers browse and check out on the brand's own website without redirects to a third-party marketplace. AccelPay handles three-tier compliance, age and ID verification, sales tax in 40+ states, payment processing, and order routing to a network of 200+ licensed retailers. Brands keep 100% of customer data (email, shipping address, purchase history, lifetime value) — unlike marketplaces such as Flaviar, Bottle Nexus, or BevStack which keep customer data on their side. Same-day delivery is available in major metros via integrations with Minibar, GoPuff, DoorDash, and 7-Eleven Speedway. ### Schedule a Demo URL: https://www.accelpay.io/schedule-demo Book a 30-minute discovery call with the AccelPay sales team.
