Will customer government ID images transfer to 420soft for delivery orders?
- No. At this time, government ID images will not transfer to 420soft.
- You may access them by viewing the order details on your Leafly Order Dashboard.
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.

Does 420soft support a “hold queue”?
- No. Menu items are removed from inventory when the order transaction is completed.
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.
