Leafly can now present tax estimates to shoppers at checkout using tax rates configured in your POS system. This feature is currently available for BLAZE, Cova, and Treez; we are exploring adding support to additional POS integrations that support ordering but do not have a firm timeline around those feature enhancements going live.
Leafly will utilize tax settings within your POS system to provide shoppers with tax estimates during checkout. Cannabis taxes can be significant, vary widely by location, and customers may often not know what taxes to expect when purchasing cannabis. Providing POS informed tax estimates can help customers better understand the total purchase price before placing their pickup/delivery order and increase customer confidence on Leafly. Additionally, tax estimates can help customers avoid being surprised with additional fees at payment and reduce order cancellations and modifications.
POS informed tax calculations use the connection between Leafly and your POS system to check for updates to tax for items in a cart based on a number of customer actions. For additional detail on how to configure POS informed taxes and the actions that will cause tax to be recalculated, keep reading.
