Flowhub Ecommerce Integration
Buddy is the native ecommerce platform built for dispensaries running Flowhub POS. Keep the point of sale you trust — and give your customers a fast, fully branded online store that actually ranks on Google. Real-time sync, no iframes, live in about 24 hours.
Keep Flowhub at the Register. Own the Store Online.
Flowhub is where your inventory, compliance and register live, and none of that needs to change. What usually does need to change is the shopping experience: an embedded menu cannot be crawled properly, cannot be branded past a few colors, and sends the traffic you paid for to a page you do not own.
That distinction is everything. When your online store is a real website instead of an iframe or a hosted menu on someone else's domain, you own your SEO, your customer data, your branding, and your growth. Google can crawl every product, category, brand, and deal — so your dispensary actually gets found by the customers searching for what you sell.
Flowhub keeps doing what it does best: running your point of sale, inventory, and compliance. Buddy becomes the storefront your customers actually shop on. Explore what a full retail commerce platform looks like when it's built for cannabis from day one.
How the Flowhub Ecommerce Integration Works
Buddy connects directly to Flowhub POS with a real-time, two-way sync. Everything flows automatically:
Product records — title, brand, category, strain, THC and CBD values, and package sizes pulled directly from Flowhub
Quantity on hand — per-location stock, so the last unit sold at the register stops being purchasable online
Price & discount rules — list price plus the discount logic attached to it, so the online total matches the drawer
Specials — the promotions your team already maintains in Flowhub surface as shoppable groups on the site
Customer records — one shopper identity across the register and the online account area
Order write-back — web orders return to Flowhub with line items, totals and fulfillment type for your staff to pick
What stays in Flowhub: receiving, compliance reporting, register transactions, staff permissions and the authoritative stock count. What moves to Buddy: merchandising, content, search visibility, email and text follow-up, and the online customer relationship. Buddy never becomes a second inventory system.
What a Flowhub Migration Actually Looks Like
Nothing in Flowhub is rebuilt or re-keyed. The move is an authorization, a mapping review and a redirect plan:
- Flowhub categories and brands mapped to crawlable navigation, filters and landing pages
- Product pages that can carry more story than the Flowhub record holds, without editing the record
- A drag-and-drop builder and 50+ theme controls for everything around the catalog
- Existing menu URLs redirected to the matching Buddy pages before launch, so earned rankings carry over
- Per-location availability, pricing and pickup options for multi-store Flowhub operators
The riskiest part of replacing a menu is losing the URLs shoppers and Google already know, which is why redirects are staged before the cutover rather than cleaned up after it. See the full Buddy feature set for what's included.

What is Flowhub POS?
Flowhub is a cannabis retail platform that provides point-of-sale, inventory management, payments, and compliance tools for dispensaries. It's built specifically for cannabis retailers and is trusted by high-volume operators to run the day-to-day operations of their stores.
Buddy is a Flowhub integration partner. If your dispensary runs on Flowhub, you can keep it as your POS and inventory backbone while using Buddy as your customer-facing ecommerce website — the two stay in sync automatically.
Already Running Flowhub? Here's What Changes and What Doesn't
Buddy is a Flowhub partner, and the integration is built so the register keeps doing exactly what it does today.
What does not change: Flowhub stays your point of sale and your system of record. Inventory, pricing, compliance and reporting keep running exactly where they run now, and your staff keep the workflows they already use at the counter.
What changes: the shopping experience moves onto your own domain. Every product, category and brand is rendered as a real page a search engine can read, product schema is generated from live data, and online orders complete on your site and sync back to Flowhub.
If you are still weighing approaches, the comparison of how dispensary websites get built lays out all five side by side.
