FlexPay FAQ

The FlexPay FAQ covers everything customers and wineries need to know about using the FlexPay feature. It explains how FlexPay allows members to build a balance with flexible monthly payments, which can be used to purchase wines whenever they choose. FAQs address topics like payment options, how to manage the balance, member benefits, and account flexibility, including options to skip payments or cancel anytime.

1. What is FlexPay?

FlexPay is a flexible subscription feature that allows wine club members to pay a monthly fee to build up a wine balance over time. Members can use this balance to purchase wine at any time, gaining access to exclusive discounts, early releases, and other member-only perks.

2. How does FlexPay work for customers?

With FlexPay, customers can select a monthly amount to pay towards their wine balance. Each payment adds to their account balance, which they can then use to make purchases directly on the winery?s website. Customers also get access to exclusive perks like early access to new releases, member-only discounts, and other benefits chosen by the winery.

3. Why should I join FlexPay instead of a traditional wine club?

FlexPay allows more flexibility compared to traditional wine clubs. Instead of committing to a set number of bottles or specific shipments, you can pay a monthly amount that builds your balance. You decide when and how to use it, allowing you to choose your wines based on your preferences and timing. This ?pay-as-you-go? model is perfect for wine lovers who want to enjoy flexibility while still getting exclusive perks.

4. How do I sign up for FlexPay?

You can sign up for FlexPay directly through the winery?s website. During signup, you?ll choose a monthly payment amount. After setting up your account, payments will be charged automatically based on your preferences, and you?ll receive a confirmation email each time your balance updates.

5. Can I choose how much to pay each month?

Yes! Wineries can choose a static amount or allow the consumer to set their own custom monthly amount.

6. What are my options for using my FlexPay balance?

You can use your FlexPay balance to purchase wines through the winery?s website at any time. The winery will often have a curated selection or special offers available to FlexPay members, but your balance can be used for any wines on the website. Currently, the balance is only available to be used for website and OMS orders. We plan to add balance payment options to the TabletPOS and Club offerings in the future.

7. How does the FlexPay balance impact my orders?

When you place an order on the website, you can choose to apply the balance to your purchase. If the balance doesn?t fully cover the order, you?ll have the option to pay the difference at checkout. Orders placed using your FlexPay balance may also include additional member perks, such as discounts or early access.

8. Can I skip a payment or cancel my FlexPay membership?

Yes. FlexPay allows the consumer to skip payments without canceling their membership if they need a break. A consumer can also cancel their membership at any time through your account settings on the winery?s website.

9. What if I want to add more funds than my balance for a purchase?

FlexPay allows for partial payments, so you can add additional funds as needed at checkout if your balance doesn?t cover your entire order. This flexibility lets you get the wines you want even if your balance hasn?t reached the full amount yet.

10. How does FlexPay work with seasonal or curated orders?

FlexPay is designed to offer flexibility in purchases. Some wineries may offer seasonal or curated selections to FlexPay members, which you can purchase when your balance covers the amount or by adding additional funds.

11. Will I receive an email notification for my payments?

Yes, you will receive an automated email every time a payment is made. This email will include the payment details, your current balance, and a link to the winery?s curated FlexPay category so you can browse wines available for purchase with your balance.

12. Can I use my FlexPay balance for items outside the FlexPay category?

In most cases, your FlexPay balance can be applied toward any items available on the winery?s website, not just those in the FlexPay category. However, wineries may highlight certain exclusive items for FlexPay members in a curated category to make browsing easy.

13. How does FlexPay handle inventory and order shipping?

FlexPay orders are processed as distinct FlexPay club orders and not as standard store orders. This allows wineries to manage inventory specifically for FlexPay members and ensure exclusive or limited releases are available. Shipping costs are handled as they would be with any standard order unless specified otherwise by the winery.

14. Is my FlexPay payment information secure?

Absolutely. FlexPay payments comply with PCI (Payment Card Industry) standards, ensuring that your payment information is securely stored and processed. All recurring charges are made with your authorization, and your data is protected according to applicable privacy laws.

15. How do I manage my FlexPay account and view my balance?

You can manage your FlexPay account through your account dashboard on the winery?s website. From there, you can view your current balance, payment history, and perks available to you as a FlexPay member.
