• Default Item Status
• Category Mapping

Default Item Status

Automatically set new and restocked items to either active or inactive by default. Items automatically set to inactive status must be manually set to active before being visible on online menus.

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

Category Mapping

Related article: Mapping your categories on Leafly

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

If your POS-assigned category does not align with a predefined Leafly category, it will be assigned a category of Other by default. You can remap your POS Category to the Leafly category. 

Inventory Availability Rules

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

420soft FAQs

Is there a cost associated with using this integration?

• No, there is no additional cost associated with turning on this integration.

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.

Are Dual Menus supported with 420soft? 

• No, dual menus are not supported with this integration.  

Why is Leafly showing something different for Brand or Strain information than what I have in my POS?

• After Leafly receives a menu payload, we will try to match strain and brand information to existing entries in Leafly's database to cross-link and provide greater visibility for menu items across the platform.

• Sometimes particular Strains or Brands do not exist yet in Leafly's database. In that case, we are trying to smart-match to the closest available entry. This can result in incorrect links.

• You have the ability to change or remove incorrect links by editing those fields within your Menu Manager.

Can I make changes to item data on Leafly while my POS integration is active?

• Yes, with some limitations.
• You are able to override every menu item field except for the price point. This allows you to update Strain or Brand links or supplement other information like cannabinoid data, photos, or description. Leafly defers to your POS system as the source of truth for item pricing.
• These manual overrides will persist on items you edit until they go out of stock and fall off your menu entirely.

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.
