FAQs (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. 
Where do I upload my photos?
  • Dauntless does not currently support photo uploads to menu feeds. You are able to manually upload images via Leafly Biz (after the next sync, these images will remain). 
Is there a way to not have items appear in Leafly?
  • Currently, any products with “Sample” in the name will be filtered out. Additionally, if you would not like an item to appear, do not add the list_leafly tag within Dauntless while configuring your data (if an item is not showing and you’d like it to, you can include this tag and it should appear). You can also utilize Leafly’s menu configuration option to exclude inventory by keyword or category.
Is there a way to complete bulk updates for the new fields (strain, brand and compound data)?
  • Currently, there is not a way for client-initiated bulk updates. All updates will need to go through the Dauntless.. Note: If you are new Dauntless client, Dauntless can use your data from your previous POS and upload strain and brand data. If not, Dauntless can provide you with a CSV of all of your products, where you can enter the strain and brand data. Once completed, they will be able to do a mass upload on their end.
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?

Updating Fields 

The Dauntless team has added fields in their system to support Strain, Brand, and Compound data. If you’d like to enter this prior to or after activating your menu sync, please reach out to Dauntless support on steps for their team to bulk upload your strain and brand data.

Note: There a number of ways for Dauntless Support to import this information, if it is available electronically, like a database, spreadsheet, or CSV. When creating a new product, either follow the manual steps outlined or work with support on providing the data electronically. If there are any challenges or questions, please contact Dauntless Support for assistance and direction.

Leafly Configuration (post-POS sync)

Once you have successfully synced your Dauntless menu with Leafly, you can configure the integration and override menu data in Leafly Biz. These changes will persist in your Leafly menu unless you disconnect and then reconnect your POS and resync your POS menu data. This section will walk you through the configuration available in Leafly Biz today.

 

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.

Inventory Availability Rules

On the POS Settings page, you can set inventory thresholds at both the Global and Category levels. If a threshold is defined, items with inventory counts under the thresholds set will be automatically hidden from your online menus. By default, the threshold is set to 1.

Inventory Exclusion Rules

On the POS Settings page, you can permanently exclude inventory from appearing on your online menus. You can set exclusions by keywords and categories.

Category Mapping

We currently support the following categories → Accessory, Seeds, Clone, Flower, Edible, PreRoll, Concentrate, Cartridge, Topical, Other. If your POS assigned category does not align with a predefined Leafly category, it will be assigned a category of Other by default. Remap categories as desired on the POS Settings tab once your Dauntless menu is successfully synced to Leafly.
