See every featureCompliance Engine helps merchants identify and address compliance risks before they impact customers or orders. It monitors product pages, cart, and checkout, and displays warnings when defined rules are triggered. Merchants can create rule based conditions to control when messages appear, guide customer actions, and manage restricted or non compliant purchases.
CrushSuite runs a full compliance check on every order before payment: legal drinking age, ship-to state, volume limits, product restrictions, and shipping method. Restricted states are blocked before checkout, not after. State and county alcohol fees appear as a clear line item, and customers only see wines available where they live.
- Real-time compliance checks: Flag risks on product, cart, and checkout pages
- Rule-based control: Set conditions to trigger warnings or restrict actions.
- Checkout validation: Prevent orders that do not meet compliance requirements.
- Seamlessly integrates Shopify ecosystem with VinoShipper Wine Compliance
- Alcohol tax and compliance integrated natively into Shopify checkout
- No-code store customizations for product availability, shipping, and tax
- Works with Shopify, Shopify Advanced, and Shopify Plus. Plus is NOT required.
