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.
