AccelPay Fulfillment vs Next Step Courier

AccelPay, now part of Vesper Commerce, lets alcohol brands sell direct to consumers from their own Shopify store. The app routes each alcohol order to a licensed retailer in the buyer's state, which sells and ships it, so every sale stays three-tier compliant. The network covers 3,500+ licensed retail locations in 40+ states. Mixed carts split automatically: alcohol goes to a retailer, merch to your 3PL. Every brand also gets a ReserveBar.com listing and ad credit on ReserveBar and Minibar.

The Next Step Courier app is designed to streamline the logistics process by connecting end-users, e-commerce vendors, and dispatch teams in real time. It ensures smooth and timely parcel delivery by offering a reliable communication bridge between all stakeholders. A key feature is the built-in Proof of Delivery (POD) system, allowing recipients to confirm deliveries through digital signatures, photos, or QR scans.
