      Note: If you don't want certain categories, such as accessories, to be synced to Weedmaps you can leave the dropdown empty.

      Sync all Products (optional)

      During the set up process (previous step) when products are updated, your BLAZE products will automatically sync into your Weedmaps menu. If you ever need to reset your information, you can use the Sync tab to force a reset of all your products if necessary.

      To reset a sync of all products:

      1. Go to the "Sync" tab

      2. Read the "Before you proceed" informational box.

      3. Click "Sync all" to reconnect/reset all your BLAZE categories and products (within those categories) to your Weedmaps account.

      Make sure you stay on this page to ensure that the products finish syncing it takes approximately 5-10 minutes to complete.

      FAQs

      Am I able to set an inventory threshold for products (out of stock/in-stock/no longer carrying product) on BLAZE for products that populate on Weedmaps?

      • Unpublish/publish settings:

        If product inventory is "0"/out-of-stock or you do not want it advertised, you can remove/hide the product from the WM menu

        Customers will be able to unpublish/republish products in Weedmaps admin on the product level (clicking into each product) or bulk updating.

      • Threshold settings:

        The ability to remove/hide products from the WM menu if inventory falls below a specified quantity is not at this time. Our team is working on building this functionality.

         

      I entered in the WMID information into BLAZE for all my locations but some locations are not showing up on WM?

      1. Go into your WM admin dashboard and ensure each of your locations are connected to BLAZE POS. (i.e. Did you select "BLAZE POS (Beta)" for your POS provider?)

      2. If you do not select the correct POS provider, WM will not grant BLAZE access to those locations. So even if you enter in your WMIDs for those specific locations into your BLAZE dashboard it won't connect.

      3. See section A in the top portion of this article on how to select the POS provider.

      Why are certain products not showing up on my Weedmaps menu?

      Weedmaps does not allow products with over 100 characters in their name to populate on the online menu. If you are missing certain products, ensure the product names are below this threshold.
