Steps
Have a WineDirect site admin set up the webservice account and agree to the terms of use from within the WineDirect admin panel; this must be done by an admin, not a general integration user.
Choose the latest supported major version for the service you need (WineDirect documents Version 3 as current, Version 2 as supported, and Version 1 as deprecated) rather than defaulting to an older version found in outdated sample code.
Note the module structure — each webservice is bundled by data type (e.g., Contacts, Orders) — and use the corresponding 'upsert' and 'get' request/response objects documented for that module.
Account for time zone differences by API version: Version 2.0 webservice timestamps are Pacific Standard Time, while Version 3+ timestamps are UTC — convert consistently to avoid off-by-hours data errors.
If integrating an Australian WineDirect client, use the separate AU/NZ webservice URLs rather than the US endpoints, since WineDirect documents different URLs per region.
Known gotchas
As of February 16, 2026, WineDirect redirects any non-HTTPS API call to HTTPS with an HTTP 302 — integrations that can't follow redirects will break; update all calls to HTTPS directly rather than relying on the redirect.
There is a brief daily scheduled outage (around 8am ET/5am PT in the US, and 11pm AWST/1am AEST in Australia/NZ) — don't schedule critical automated syncs during this window.
