• 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.

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. 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?

Once I make a change in my POS, how soon will I see the changes on Leafly’s menu? 

• Ranger POS pushes your full menu to Leafly once per day. You can also manually sync changes to Leafly.

Can I manually update fields on Leafly Biz that are missing? 

• With this integration, when you are synced, you can:
  • manually select staff picks
  • override status of items received from the POS (active/inactive)
  • 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. 

Do products on the menu have sales tax associated?
