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.
“We zijn overgestapt van WooCommerce naar een maatoplossing aangedreven door Marzipan. Het beheren van onze bestellingen gaat eenvoudig en de flexibiliteit van de subscriptions API heeft ons in staat gesteld ons aanbod voor old vine adoptions te verbeteren.”
“Marzipan is ongelooflijk eenvoudig in gebruik, en uiterst flexibel en configureerbaar. Het maakt terugkerende abonnementswijnclubs veel eenvoudiger dan elk ander systeem dat ik heb gebruikt, en het verwerkt vrijwel alles wat we het hebben gegeven.”
