Vintner Updates

Shared by WithWine • February 26, 2025

We're so thrilled with how much people are loving our new POS app, Vintner. Even though it's in BETA we love hearing how clients are now using it as their primary "daily driver" POS instead of a new play thing on the side. The main reason for this, aside from how pretty it is to look at, is how much speedier it is to Checkout... and people are loving the Tap to Pay on iPhone!!! We've had people sign up to WithWine just for that.

We love hearing your feedback and making this the best POS for wineries on the market. So now it's time for some updates:

  • In December we announced and launched the Vintner BETA
  • In January we launched the iPad version
  • This update is about the Vintner updates we've released in February:

We want Vintner to be as intuitive as possible - it makes life less stressful for new staff and that reduces the change management headache for managers / owners.

To add a Customer to an Order, we previously used an icon:

It quite quickly became clear that the function that button served was not obvious enough... so we have changed it. Now to add a customer to an Order, you tap the prominent Add Customer button that is now front and centre at the top of the screen:

On an iPhone:

On an iPad:

In the old icon's place, we've added a new feature: a connectivity status indicator for Payment Terminals, Printers and Internet.

Green is "Ready", Orange is "working on it" and Red is "Not Connected":

You can also tap on the indicators to get quick access to the Settings for each:

We've changed the Product Detail view so now when you tap on a product a modal pops up which contains additional information for that product including Variations (eg. available Glasses or Magnums) and for Mixes, the items in the mix (which is cool):

The first implementation of Manual Discounts had you tap the three dots beside the Pay button > then select Discounts > then enter the discount amount > then decide whether that discount was an absolute $ discount or a % discount using the Keyboard that popped up:

We liked it, but the fact the toggle between $ and % existed on that keyboard, wasn't as obvious to most users as we wanted... so we changed it so now you're selecting what type of discount it is within the top menu:

In case you were wondering, the release we did last week for Dynamic Product Lists is already compatible with both wwPOS and Vintner.

Thank you so much to all our BETA users. In the coming weeks we will be putting a build of Vintner up on the App Store so you don't need to muck around with TestFlight anymore.

Following on from that we will be adding the final missing pieces:

  • Fast User Switching for iPads
  • Split Payments incl. pay with Gift Cards
  • Restaurant POS (Preparation Queues, Product Options, Open Orders)

For those who have asked, we are planning to give you the ability to Surcharge customers for credit card fees. Please watch this space.
