FAQs (please review prior to menu sync)
Does Leafly support standard and tiered pricing?
- Yes, Leafly supports both standard and tiered pricing with 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. 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?
When I make a change in my POS, how soon will I see the changes on Leafly’s menu?
- Changes made in Greenbits will automatically sync to Leafly’s menu. Please allow up to 15 minutes for the change to appear.
Can I manually update fields on Leafly Biz that are missing?
- With this integration, when you are synced, you can:
- manually select staff picks
- enable/disable items availability for Leafly Pickup
- 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.
Can I use a single Greenbits username for multiple locations?
- No. This isn’t currently supported for this integration, even if you have unique Location Names for each location. The username will default to a specific location and show that primary menu for all locations, regardless of the Location Name used. You will need to create a separate GB Username for each Leafly listing in order to display unique menus for all locations.
How do I upload images?
- You can find the instructions to upload images to your ingested POS menu under Leafly Configuration > Image Uploads in this article.
Do products on the menu have sales tax associated?
- Currently, sales tax is not included in the pricing for products. Clients can update the pricing in their POS or use the Deals module to notify clients.
Where is my data being pulled from?
- Once your menu is successfully synced, we will only pull fields from your inventory moving forward.
What is the logic for unit size?
- Currently, if a unit size within Greenbits falls outside of Leafly menu parameters, it will appear as is (i.e. exactly as it does in GB) on your Leafly menu (e.g 4g = 4g, 28.3g = 28.3g, etc).
Is there a way to set a minimum threshold amount for products?
- Yes, 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 (one). You can find instructions for this setup under Leafly Configuration > Inventory Availability Rules in this article.
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?
