Common questions
Does the store need Wi-Fi for the QR code?
No. The shopper scans the QR code with their own phone and uses their own mobile data.
How does stock stay up to date?
If stock sync is on for your account, we read your product feed once a day and hide wines marked out of stock. The sync refuses to run if the feed is empty, has shrunk by half, or would hide more than half of the catalog.
Can we pilot in one store first?
Yes. A pilot in a single store is possible. Talk to us about the store and the shelf.
What about shopper privacy (GDPR)?
Shoppers do not create an account to use Wineater. For what data is processed, see the answers on shopper data and our privacy policy.
Why is there no public price for offline retail?
The price depends on the number of stores and the size of the catalog. Talk to sales and we will send you a quote.
