Greenline Ordering FAQs
Do I need to enable my POS menu sync from Greenline before enabling the Order integration?
- Yes, at this time, you must have the Menu integration enabled and actively syncing before enabling the Order integration.
- You can find instructions to enable the Menu integration sync in this Help Desk guide: Greenline Menu Integration Guide
Do I need to be a Pickup partner + Leafly customer in order to activate the Greenline Order settings?

Is the Greenline order integration compatible with the Leafly x Uber Eats pilot program?
- Yes. The Greenline <> Leafly order integration is supported with the Uber Eats pilot program.
- Please note: The Leafly Driver Tools will not be useable if you enable the Greenline order integration. Your order status source of truth will be Greenline, and all order status updates must take place via Greenline's Online Order management workflow.
- For more information on Uber Eats-related workflows within Greenline, please see this article.
Do customers still receive notifications when order status changes?
- Yes. When you make changes to the order status in Greenline, Leafly will send a notification to the shopper alerting them of order status changes.
Once Order Integration is enabled, will the Leafly Order Dashboard be disabled?
- Yes. Once the Order Integration is enabled the Leafly Order Dashboard will be read-only. The dashboard will update appropriately but will not be actionable.
- All order actions must be performed within your Greenline fulfillment dashboard.
How are customer profiles matched between Leafly and Greenline?
- Leafly collects MMJID (if required), first/last name, email address, and phone number during checkout and transmits that information to Greenline.
- If a customer profile with a matching phone number or email address exists within Greenline, the order will be associated with that customer profile. Otherwise, a new customer profile will be created.
Will customer government ID images transfer to Greenline for delivery orders?
- No, government ID image transfer is not supported at this time.
- You can access government ID images via your Leafly Order Dashboard for delivery orders.
Does Greenline support a “hold queue”?
- No. Menu items are removed from inventory when the order transaction is completed.
What are the potential pitfalls to managing orders solely in Greenline POS?
- Currently, Retailers will not be able to substitute menu items for customers or be able to distinguish first time customers until the customer is in-store.
How can I cancel an order?
- At this time you need to perform all cancellations within Greenline.
- In addition, you cannot provide a reason for cancellation and these do not carry through from Greenline to Leafly.
Will my Leafly Deal pricing sync to my POS via the order integration?
-
No. At this time, you will need to replicate the deal in your POS and apply it to any applicable items in Leafly-sourced orders once you begin filling them in your POS system.
What do I do if there is an Order Integration Outage?
In a time when there is an order integration outage, orders will not flow to your POS and will need to be managed via the Leafly Order Dashboard.
* Leafly will alert you by email and Leafly Biz pop-up if there is an issue with your POS integration connection that impacts Leafly orders flowing to your POS system for fulfillment.
There may be 2 types of outages:
Partner Outages and Credential Issues.
-
When a partner outage occurs, a POS vendor has identified a widespread issue impacting one or multiple services within their software. Your POS provider will notify you of any system issues, instability, or outages and keep you updated on their efforts to resolve the problem.
-
When a credentials issue occurs, you will receive a notification stating that invalid credentials are impacting Leafly's ability to send orders to your POS system. This means that some portion of the credentials used are incorrect or invalid.
- In the event of these issues, you will need to handle orders that do not reach your POS system by using the Leafly Order Dashboard until the problem is fixed. Depending on the seriousness of the issue, some orders may still be successfully transferred to your POS system for fulfillment.
