Both run a proper wine club. The real difference is how they're built: Winehub layers club features onto a Shopify store, while Marzipan is one purpose-built platform. Here's how the capabilities line up.

Figures show the percentage fee on managed club order value only (Winehub around 1.75% to 2%), on top of each platform's monthly base. Winehub also requires a Shopify plan and Shopify's own payment fees; both exclude card-processing fees. Winehub's plans and percentages change, so check winehub.io/pricing before relying on these.

“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.”
