Four things every cidery runs into when they try to use a wine-first DTC tool.
Most ciders fall between 3–8.5% ABV, crossing different regulatory lines than wine. CrushSuite applies the correct thresholds per state — automatically.
A state that's open for wine DTC may have completely different rules for cider — or no cider exemption at all. We track the differences so you don't have to guess.
Cider gets taxed differently than wine in most states — sometimes as beer, sometimes as wine, sometimes as its own category. CrushSuite applies the right rate at checkout.
Every DTC platform says "works for cider too." We actually model cider as its own product type with its own compliance rules, its own club logic, and its own checkout behavior.
The same powerful tools our wineries use — with cider-specific compliance, club logic, and checkout behavior.
Ship to every state you legally can.
CrushSuite blocks prohibited states, enforces age verification, applies correct cider compliance fees, and generates reporting — all at checkout, all on Shopify.

We tried three different wine platforms before CrushSuite. They all said they supported cider. Only CrushSuite actually modeled the compliance differences.
