Shipping & Payment (Demo Shop)

Status: May 2026

Important preliminary note on the simulation

This is the official demo shop ("Weingut Ketterberg") of the Vinolin Suite. It is a purely demonstrative environment. No real goods are shipped and no real payments are processed. Please use test data only for test orders and do not enter any sensitive or real payment information!

1. Payment (Simulated via Stripe Sandbox)

For payment processing in all live shops, the Vinolin Suite uses the established payment service provider Stripe (via Stripe Connect).

To demonstrate the seamless checkout process from the end customer's perspective, we have set Stripe to sandbox mode (test mode) in this demo shop.

How to test the checkout:

To successfully complete an order, please use the official Stripe test credit card data.

Credit card number: 4242 4242 4242 4242
Expiration date (MM/YY): Any date in the future (e.g., 12/30)
CVC/Security code: Any three-digit number (e.g., 123)
Name on card: Any name

Under no circumstances will real money be debited from your account or card.

2. Shipping (Fictional)

Since Weingut Ketterberg does not exist, no wine bottles will reach your home. The shipping methods and costs displayed during checkout (e.g., "Standard shipping €5.90" or "Free shipping from 12 bottles") serve merely for visual and technical illustration purposes.

Note for winemakers: How it works in your live shop

When you set up your own shop via the Vinolin dashboard and go live, you have full control over shipping and payments:

Receiving payments: Via our onboarding process, you can connect your shop to Stripe Connect in just a few minutes. Your customers can pay immediately using all common methods (credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, etc.). As a winemaker, you are the Merchant of Record, and the money is paid out directly to you via Stripe. Vinolin only automatically retains the platform commission in the background – you do not need to transfer separate invoices to us.
Shipping zones & rates: In the dashboard, you can create individual shipping zones, define flat-rate prices (e.g., for Germany or other EU countries), and set rules for free shipping (based on a certain order value or a certain number of bottles).
Fulfillment: You continue to handle the actual parcel shipping as usual with your preferred logistics partner (e.g., DHL, GLS, UPS).
