Leafly Configuration (post-POS sync)

These changes will persist in your Leafly menu unless you disconnect and then reconnect your POS and resync your POS menu data.

Locate your Menu Manager Settings by checking out this Help Desk article: Where do I locate my menu manager settings and options?

 

Default Item Status

On the POS Settings page, automatically set new and restocked items to either active or inactive by default. Items automatically set to an inactive status will need to manually be set to active before being visible on online menus.

• Items set to “Active” will show up on all online menus and be set to “Available for Pick-Up/Delivery” if your store participates in any of Leafly’s order ahead programs.
• Items set to “Inactive” will be hidden from all online menus and will no longer be “Available for Pick-Up/Delivery” if your store participates in any of Leafly’s order ahead programs.

 

Category Mapping

We currently support the following categories → Accessory, Seeds, Clone, Flower, Edible, PreRoll, Concentrate, Cartridge, Topical, Other.

Inventory Availability Rules

FAQ (please review prior to menu sync)

If I have an existing menu in Leafly, do I need to save it prior to syncing my POS menu?

• No. Leafly will automatically save a copy of the menu that you maintained before connecting your POS system. If you encounter any issues with the data that is pulled in from your POS, you can quickly revert back by selecting “Disconnect and restore pre-POS connected menu data” when disconnecting the POS and reverting the menu back to its original state. To learn how to disconnect your point of sale, we advise following the instructions in this article: How do I disconnect my point of sale?

Can I manually update fields on Leafly Biz that are missing? 

• With this integration, when you are synced, you can:

  • manually select staff picks

  • override status of items received from the POS

  • set inventory thresholds at a global and category level

  • override your POS menu items with your own product photography, descriptions, potency values and more

• If you disconnect and choose to retain data from your last POS sync, any overrides made in Leafly Biz will remain unless a POS is reconnected and resynced to Leafly. 

• If you disconnect and choose to restore pre-POS connected menu data, any overrides made in Leafly Biz will not remain and will be deleted. 

How often does the POS menu sync to Leafly? 

• Your integrated menu can be scheduled to sync to any time period or on-demand based on your preference. 

Once I submit my request to CannaPoint, when should I expect my POS menu to be live? 

• The standard SLA for these requests is 1 business day. 

Is sales tax included in the pricing? 

• Currently, sales tax is not included in the price (whatever you have listed in your POS will appear on the menu). Clients can update the price in CannaPoint to include tax, or use the Deals module to notify clients.

• Clients can use our tax feature in the Menu Manager Settings Biz to set sales and excise taxes to apply in checkout. To learn more about setting these options, please check out this Help Desk article: Setting up Tax Estimates for your Leafly Menu

How can I disable / re-enable my integrated menu in CannaPoint? 

• Within CannaPoint, there are two ways to disable the integrated menu feed. The item screen has a flag that is specifically used for the integration to Leafly. The box should be changed to blank, if the end-user no longer wants to integrate a specific item(s) with Leafly. The second option is to stop the Scheduled Task that is syncing the data to the site from the end-users’ local server. Within Leafly, you can go to the Settings page in Menu Manager and disconnect. 

Can I regenerate my Leafly API key? 

• If you need to regenerate your Leafly API key, please contact Leafly support using our Request Form.

Can I deactivate the menu sync?

• Yes, you can disconnect your POS in Leafly Biz. To learn how to disconnect your point of sale, we advise following the instructions in this article: How do I disconnect my point of sale?

 

Field Mapping

Note: All of these except for Testing and images are located in the main items area. A lot of places will ask for Codes (Vendors, Brands, Strain), but the description of the code you input is what Leafly will pull.

 

Leafly Field	CannaPoint Field	Notes
Product Name	Description	Product Name is pulled from data entered into the Description field
Category Type	(Main Tab) Category	These are mapped separately to what Leafly requires (as the individual states may have different terminology for each category)
Strain Name	(Description Tab) Strain	You will input a short strain code, but the description of the code you enter is what Leafly pulls
Brand Name	(Profiles Tab) Brand	If the Vendor on the main tab is empty or not in Leafly, it will look at this field for a match
Compound Data (THC/CBD)	Batch Testing	--
Description	Description	The description in Leafly comes from the same field + the other description fields on the item card (Long description, Additional description 1,2,3) as well as the batch testing info.
Image	Dropbox	As of now, this is Dropbox. The name of the image file must match the item number in CannaPoint
Price	Price 1	If there is no pricing rule set up for that item (Tiered Pricing, Special Pricing, etc) it will look at Price 1 field in items
