Figures show the transaction fee on total DtC sales at Corksy's entry rate of 1.25%, on top of each platform's monthly fee. Corksy's rate eases at higher revenue tiers, so savings at larger volumes will be smaller; both exclude card-processing fees. Corksy's plans and rates change, so check corksy.io/pricing before relying on these. Correct as of June 2026.
“Wir haben den Wechsel von WooCommerce zu einer maßgeschneiderten Lösung auf Basis von Marzipan vollzogen. Die Verwaltung unserer Bestellungen ist ein Kinderspiel, und die Flexibilität der Abonnement-API hat es uns ermöglicht, unser Angebot zur Adoption alter Rebstöcke zu erweitern.”
“Marzipan ist unglaublich einfach zu bedienen und äußerst flexibel und konfigurierbar. Es macht wiederkehrende Weinclub-Abonnements viel einfacher als jedes andere System, das ich bisher verwendet habe, und kommt mit praktisch allem zurecht, was wir ihm abverlangt haben.”
