Things to consider when selling alcohol online

Personal alcohol licence

If you sell alcohol online, you may need a personal licence. While we handle the warehousing, you’ll be responsible for ensuring legal retail sales. You can apply via your local council. In order to apply, you must be aged 18 years or over, and hold a relevant licensing qualification. The UK government website has a list of accredited personal licence qualification providers.

Wholesale & B2B alcohol fulfilment

If you sell alcohol to other businesses for resale, your company will need approval for the UK’s Alcohol Wholesaler Registration Scheme (AWRS). You will need to share evidence of approval with Vdepot so that we can notify our local authority.

Suitable packaging

We can help you source safe, secure packaging to avoid leaks or breakages. Choose from branded or unbranded solutions.

Temperature controlled storage

Protect sensitive products with temperature-controlled zones, which are ideal for wines or premium spirits that require stable conditions.

Inventory management services

Track your stock in real-time via your Vdepot client portal, with visibility over SKUs, batches, and expiry dates.

Age verification measures

We strongly recommend that you have independent, standards-based age checks on your shop’s checkout. The solution you use for this should be operated by a member of the Age Verification Providers’ Association (AVPA) and operate to PAS 1296:20181. This is the most robust way to prevent the offence of selling alcohol to a minor. As our client, we can recommend some excellent free and low-cost solutions to you for your webshop.
