We help you establish a dependable payment setup that scales with your customer base and meets all regulatory requirements.

Why Do Liquor Stores Need a Specialized Merchant Account?

Liquor is a regulated product, and that regulation extends to how you process payments. Traditional processors often reject liquor stores, even those with full state licensing, due to perceived liability or policy filters that flag alcohol sales.

Liquor stores face payment limitations due to:

• Age-restricted sales and verification requirements
• Delivery models that require delayed fulfillment
• High average transaction values
• Local and state regulation mismatches
• Chargeback exposure from repeat or late-night orders

With a merchant account designed for alcohol sales, you reduce risk and stay fully operational. 2Accept ensures that every transaction meets compliance standards while providing your business with the flexibility to serve customers across multiple channels.
