FAQs (please review prior to menu sync)
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 should I expect to see our Leafly menu up to date after making changes in IndicaOnline?
- Changes within IndicaOnline should automatically sync to Leafly’s menu. Please allow up to 10 minutes for the menus to sync.
Will Strain and Brand data be sent with this sync?
- IndicaOnline does not support ‘Strain’ or ‘Brand’ today. You can enter this data manually into your Leafly menu in using our Menu override capabilities in Leafly Biz.
All of my products are being sent as “Each”, is there a way multiple weights for a product can be sent?

IndicaOnline Setup
Mapping Leafly Categories
To ensure all of your IndicaOnline products are populating correctly on Leafly, you must correctly map the product categories within IndicaOnline. Please note: this will need to be completed first. To do this →
- Log into your IndicaOnline system
- Select Config on the left-hand side
- Select Leafly from the list
- Select Categories from here → map your IndicaOnline categories to your Leafly product category in the drop down.
- Once completed, click Save.
Leafly currently supports the following categories: Accessories, Seeds, Clone, Flower, Edible, PreRoll, Concentrate, Cartridge, and Topical. All others will be mapped to the Other category.
Configuring Menu Sync
Once you update and/or confirm your categories are mapped properly, you can then configure the Leafly API key →
- Select Config
- Select Leafly
- Select the Synchronization tab
- Paste your Leafly API key on the Synchronization page
- Select Save
Since products on the menu are synced based on the quantity in a special location, each office will have a separate field to paste API keys (each location will sync separately).
Changes within IndicaOnline should automatically sync to the Leafly menu. Please allow up to 10 minutes for the menu to sync.
- If you would like to manually push the data, you can do so by clicking the Sync Menu button from the Synchronization tab. Note: Always click Sync Menu after changing the product category to update your Leafly menu.
- Make sure the option Sync Out Of Stock Products is unchecked, so that your out of stock products are not shown on Leafly (on your computer navigate to Config → Leafly → Synchronization).
- If a product runs out of stock, it will be hidden on Leafly's end within 5 - 7 minutes.
- Click Erase Menu to unpublish all the products being currently displayed on your Leafly page. Keep in mind that IndicaOnline does not erase your products from your Leafly account on a permanent basis.
- If you want to reactivate the sync, just click the Sync Menu button again.
- Make sure to press the blue Save button to reflect the changes you have made.
