Default Item Status

On the POS Settings page, automatically set new and restocked items to either active or inactive by default. Items automatically set to inactive status will need to manually be set to active before being visible on online menus.

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

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

If your POS-assigned category does not align with a predefined Leafly category, it will be assigned a category of Other by default. Remap categories as desired on the POS Settings tab once your menu is successfully synced to Leafly.

CannaSync FAQs
(prior to syncing, please review)

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.

  • 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 Cannasync?
  • This will depend on your Cannasync sync frequency settings, but changes should appear on Leafly in as little as 5 minutes. 
Can I manually update fields on Leafly Biz that are missing? 
Can I assign different images to be used for my Leafly menu than those that are used on my website and other online menu systems? 
  • Yes, Cannasync allows you to assign images specifically for each of your various online menu platforms. If you run into issues uploading, please reach out to support@cannasync.io
What POS systems does Cannasync support? 
  • Currently, Cannasync supports Shopify, Treez and Indica Online. Cannasync is currently working on supporting Trellis (pending). 
Do products on the menu have sales tax associated?

Are Dual Menus supported with CannaSync POS? 

  • No, this integration is not supported with Dual Menus

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.
