Your own site sells to the customers who already know you. ReserveBar puts your bottles in front of the people shopping for spirits, cocktails and gifts. The same AccelPay setup lists your products on ReserveBar.com, with no second integration, and advertising drives shoppers to them.
Reach: 40+ states through the retailer network, and 3,500+ licensed retail stores.
How does the advertising credit work?
- Eligible brands get introductory credit, based on plan terms and product category.
- Use it during your 12-month term, on ReserveBar.com and Minibar.
- Pick the placements with the AccelPay team, and their cost comes out of your credit.
- Advertising is optional. The credit is for advertising only and does not convert to cash.
Where can I advertise?
ReserveBar.com
ReserveBar's online marketplace for spirits, wine and champagne, selling since 2013. Eligible AccelPay brands can get a listing here.
Where your brand can appear: Homepage hero and product cards, banners and sponsored product spots on the spirits, wine and collections pages, search and navigation touts, the order confirmation banner, and ReserveBar's marketing emails and text messages.
Cocktail Lounge
ReserveBar's cocktail recipe and editorial hub, with recipes by spirit, seasonal cocktails and brand stories.
Where your brand can appear: Add your cocktail recipes, then feature them in the Cocktail Lounge hero, Featured Recipes, Featured Cocktails and Behind the Brand sections, or in the Cocktail Lounge tout on the ReserveBar homepage.
The Holiday Edit gift guide
ReserveBar's holiday gift guide, the collection shoppers browse when they buy bottles as gifts.
Where your brand can appear: Billboard, long tout, small rectangle tout and product scroller spots in the digital gift guide. Holiday spots are limited, so ask about open ones early.
Corporate Concierge
ReserveBar's corporate gifting service. Companies order bottles in bulk, with custom engraving and eGift cards, through a ReserveBar order form.
Where your brand can appear: The corporate gifting landing page, the digital corporate catalog, and dedicated or multi-brand emails to ReserveBar's corporate client list.
Minibar
Minibar Delivery, the on-demand alcohol delivery app and site, with orders delivered by local retail partners.
Where your brand can appear: Homepage hero and featured products, featured spots on category pages, search placements, and Minibar emails and text messages. Best for brands stocked with Minibar's local retailers.
Which placement should I choose?
It depends on what you are selling and when. A few rules of thumb from ReserveBar's campaigns:
- Launching a new bottle: a product spot in a ReserveBar email, plus a Cocktail Lounge recipe that links to your product page.
- Gift-friendly bottles: The Holiday Edit gift guide in the fourth quarter, and Corporate Concierge for year-end client gifts. See the holiday gifting guide.
- Steady sellers: a sponsored product spot on the spirits or wine page, where shoppers are already browsing the category.
- Brands with local stock in Minibar markets: Minibar placements for on-demand orders.
Email product spots are usually the lowest cost way to reach ReserveBar shoppers. Holiday months cost more, so plan holiday placements early and use the rest of the credit in the quieter months.
How do I get started?
- Launch with AccelPay. Setup takes about one week from kickoff, on Shopify or your own site.
- If your brand is eligible, your products list on ReserveBar.com from the same setup.
- Plan your placements with the AccelPay team, using your credit if you qualify.

Frequently asked questions
What is the ReserveBar advertising credit?
Eligible AccelPay brands get introductory advertising credit on ReserveBar.com and Minibar, based on plan terms and product category. It pays for placements such as ReserveBar emails, homepage spots, the Cocktail Lounge, the Holiday Gift Guide and Corporate Concierge.
Which brands qualify for the credit?
Eligibility and the credit amount depend on your plan terms and product category. Ask the AccelPay team on your demo call. Plans start at $1,000 setup and $500 a month, with a 12-month term and no per-order charge to the brand.
Where can I use the credit?
On ReserveBar.com (homepage, category pages, search, emails and text messages), the ReserveBar Cocktail Lounge, The Holiday Edit gift guide, ReserveBar Corporate Concierge, and Minibar.
Can I advertise in the ReserveBar Holiday Gift Guide?
Yes. The Holiday Edit has billboard, tout and product scroller spots in the digital gift guide. Spots are limited each season, so ask about availability early.
Can I reach corporate gifting buyers?
Yes. You can advertise on the Corporate Concierge landing page and in emails to ReserveBar's corporate client list.
When can I use the credit?
During your 12-month term. Rates are higher in the holiday months (June, October, November and December), so the same credit buys more placements in the rest of the year.
Do I have to advertise?
No. Advertising is optional. If your brand is eligible, your ReserveBar.com listing is included in your plan either way. The credit is for advertising only and does not convert to cash.
