Understanding Online Payment Limitations
For online total wine orders, we require standard card processing rather than mobile wallets. Apple Pay and google pay work only for in-store shopping at our retail locations.
Apple Pay is not accepted for curbside pickup or purchases placed through our app or website. This keeps online payment flows consistent and secure.
When you complete a wine online purchase, have a credit or debit card ready. Our web checkout supports major card networks to process orders smoothly.
- Mobile wallets: available in-store only (apple pay, google pay).
- Online and app orders: use credit or debit cards for payment.
- We are reviewing options to expand mobile wallet support for online shopping in the future.

Maximizing Rewards with Strategic Payment Choices
Pairing a rewards card with contactless checkout often yields the best returns. We recommend checking which card gives bonus categories for grocery or retail purchases before you shop.

Whether you tap with apple pay google or use a physical card, the underlying credit card sets the reward rate. We accept american express and major credit debit cards so you can pick the option that earns the most back.
Review your card perks often. Rotating categories and signup offers change, and a quick check ensures we capture the best benefit on each payment.
| Payment Option | Typical Reward | Best Use |

| Apple Pay / Google Pay | Depends on linked card | Fast contactless checkout |
| Debit card | 0–1% back | Everyday budget buys |
