Cannabis Ecommerce Software Built for How Dispensaries Actually Sell
Most dispensary ecommerce is a menu iframe bolted onto a website Google can't read. Buddy is real ecommerce software: server-rendered product pages on your domain, live POS sync, and built-in SEO.
What to Look For in Cannabis Ecommerce Software
Demos all look similar. These six questions separate software that grows a dispensary from software that rents you a menu:
Native pages, not an iframe menu
Ask where the product page actually lives. If it renders inside a frame served from another domain, it is a menu — and a menu cannot rank, cannot be styled past a few tokens, and cannot be measured properly.
Domain ownership
Your catalog should live on yourdispensary.com, not shop.vendor.com. Traffic and authority you build should compound to your name, not your vendor's.
SEO capability
Server-rendered HTML, per-product schema with live price and stock, clean internal linking, and control over titles and descriptions. If those are not in the product, SEO is not in the product.
Integration depth
Nightly CSV drops are not integration. You want real-time reads on stock and price, and writes back for orders — otherwise your staff reconcile two systems by hand.
Compliance built in
Age gating, purchase limits, and state rules belong in the cart logic, not in a disclaimer banner added after launch.
Data ownership
Customer records, order history, and behavioral data should be exportable and yours. If switching vendors means losing your audience, you were renting it.
