Online Alcohol Sales Payment Processing

Selling alcohol online (bottle shops, wineries and spirits brands shipping or delivering to consumers) requires licenses, age verification and state-by-state shipping rules. Many website builders allow alcohol items but leave age verification to the seller. Roots sets up processing and chargeback tools for higher-volume sellers.
