Weedmaps offers two types of point-of-sale (POS) integrations with Dispense:

  1. Live menu integration: Allows for a listing’s menu to be built directly from the POS system and periodically sync to keep your Weedmaps menu up to date

  2. Order integration: If a customer places an order on Weedmaps, the order will automatically be sent to your POS for fulfillment

Here are step-by-step instructions on how to set up live menu and order integrations:

FAQs

Here you can find answers to commonly asked questions.

Where should I edit and modify my menu items?

Once you are menu integrated with your Dispense POS system, all edits and modifications made to products need to be made directly in your POS system. If you make changes to the menu items directly on Weedmaps, it can disrupt the integration between Weedmaps and Dispense. The only edits or modifications that can be made on Weedmaps are featuring a product and brand verifications.

Why are some of my menu items not showing on my Weedmaps menu?

Ensure the weight option is toggled on yes in your POS settings in Dispense. If so, ensure the weight is filled in for the products within Dispense. Products that do not have the weight filled in will not show on Weedmaps.

Why are my product images not showing on my Weedmaps menu?

Please ensure your product images within Dispense meet the following requirements:

  • The image size is a minimum of 600 x 600 pixels

  • The image file type is either .png or .jpeg
    Please note: Images in .png & .jpeg format downloaded from the internet are often automatically converted to webp. file types which will not display on Weedmaps.

  • The image is directly uploaded into your POS system and not uploaded from a third party

Can sales prices from Dispense appear on my Weedmaps menu?

Yes, sales prices from Dispense will appear on your Weedmaps menu as sales strikethrough pricing.

Do ID images transfer to Dispense from Weedmaps?

No, images of customer IDs will not transfer to your Dispense POS system when customers complete orders on Weedmaps. You can locate customer IDs in the order information in Weedmaps Admin.

Why are orders showing the customer's last name as "Weedmaps"?

If the customer did not add their last name to their Weedmaps account, "Weedmaps" will automatically default as the customer's last name to avoid issues with the order being received in the POS system.
