If your wine is stored with London City Bond, Marzipan connects directly to their system. Orders placed through your Marzipan store, whether one-off purchases or wine club shipments, are sent to LCB automatically. Stock levels sync back to Marzipan in real time. Tracking references come back when orders are dispatched.
You don't need to log in to two systems, manually export orders, or reconcile stock at the end of the month.
About London City Bond
London City Bond is the UK's leading bonded warehouse and drinks logistics company, with over 150 years of history in the drinks trade. They operate dedicated DTC fulfilment centres alongside their bonded storage facilities, handling everything from single bottles to mixed cases for wineries, merchants, and drinks brands across the UK.
For wineries selling direct into the UK market, whether based in England or importing from France, Italy, Spain, or elsewhere in Europe, LCB offers something particularly valuable. Stock can be held under bond until an order is received, paying duty only at the point of dispatch. That means better cash flow and full HMRC compliance without the administrative burden of managing it yourself. For EU producers, having UK stock at LCB means orders can be picked, packed, and dispatched to UK customers without the producer needing to handle UK fulfilment directly.
What the integration does
Order push. When a customer places an order in your Marzipan store, or when a wine club dispatch cycle runs, Marzipan sends the order to LCB automatically. No manual export, no copying order details between systems.
Stock sync. Your available stock at LCB stays current in Marzipan. When a case is allocated to an order or new stock arrives at the warehouse, your Marzipan inventory updates accordingly.
Tracking references. When LCB dispatches an order, the tracking reference comes back into Marzipan and is included in the dispatch confirmation sent to your customer.
Who this is for
The LCB integration is most useful if you are already storing wine with London City Bond and want to connect your DTC shop or wine club to their fulfilment operation without manual intervention.
It is also a natural fit for EU producers selling into the UK market. Storing stock at LCB and fulfilling UK orders directly from there, rather than shipping individual orders from the continent, is both faster for customers and simpler operationally. Marzipan connects your online shop or wine club to that stock without any manual handling.
It is also worth considering if you are growing your wine club to the point where manual fulfilment from your own cellar door is becoming impractical. LCB's dedicated DTC fulfilment centre handles pick, pack, and dispatch for orders of any size, with next day delivery across the UK.
Setting it up
