What to do when there is an issue with the integration between Leafly and your POS system.

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 are two types of issues that Leafly will alert you to: Partner Outages and Credential Issues. For more information on what to do to resolve either issue, please see below:

 

Partner Outages

What is a Partner Outage?

A Partner Outage occurs when a POS vendor has recognized a wide-spread issue impacting one or multiple services within their software. Your POS provider will alert you to any system issues, instability, or outages and keep you up to date on their work toward resolution.

 

Further, Leafly will alert you if we recognize that your POS system is experiencing an order-impacting outage so that you have the opportunity to process any Leafly-sourced orders that do not flow to your POS system during the outage. Leafly will also send you an alert once we recognize that the outage is resolved and orders will flow to your POS system again.

 

What do I need to do during a Partner Outage?

During a partner outage, all Leafly orders may not automatically flow to your POS system. You will need to monitor both your POS system order queue and your Leafly Order Dashboard during this time.

It will be necessary to manage orders that do not make it to your POS system using the Leafly Order Dashboard until the outage is resolved. Some orders may still transfer successfully to your POS system for fulfillment there depending on the severity of the outage.

 

For more information on how to manage Leafly orders, please refer to the articles below:

Additionally, we recommend setting up alerts for Leafly online orders so you are aware of any new orders you need to manage. There are several kinds of alerts available within Leafly Biz:

Leafly will send follow-up notifications once the partner outage is resolved and orders are once again flowing to your POS system for fulfillment.

 

Where can I find more information on the outage?

Some POS vendors have publicly available status pages that monitor downtime and provide a centralized hub for information and progress toward resolution. Often there is an option to subscribe to a mailing list to receive downtime alerts.

 

We’ve collected links to several POS system status pages for you below:

 

Credential Issues

What does it mean when there are credential issues?

If you receive a notification that there are invalid credentials impacting the ability for Leafly to send orders to your POS system, this means that some portion of the credentials used are incorrect or invalid. 

 

Some integrations require a password; if you change this password and do not update it in your integration settings in Leafly Biz, it will cause the integration between Leafly and your POS system to fail. Other integrations share multiple pieces of identifying information or API keys necessary to connect the integration; if you have entered the wrong piece of information into a field, this will also cause the integration between Leafly and your POS system to fail.

 

What happens if my POS integration credentials are invalid?

If your POS integration credentials are invalid, Leafly is unable to send orders to your POS system. Leafly will automatically disable your POS order integration if your POS integration credentials are invalid.

 

Until you update your POS integration credentials and re-enable the order integration, you will need to manage any orders received while there is an active issue with your credentials using the Leafly Order Dashboard until you correct your credentials.
