What is Dutchie?

What it is

The point of sale runs at the registers and rings up customers at the counter. Online ordering appears as an ecommerce menu, often embedded in the dispensary's own website, so a shopper can browse products and place an order there.

Most states with licensed cannabis also require a dispensary to report every sale and inventory change to a state track-and-trace system, such as Metrc. Dutchie sends that data through an API, so a broken connection shows up as a mismatch between the two systems.

Why it matters to a business

• The counter depends on it: if the point of sale is down, the line stops, so uptime of the register and network matters.
• The website sells too: the online menu is often the first thing a customer sees, so it must load and stay current.
• Payment settings: only the people who understand the payment setup should be able to change it.
• Staff logins: each login decides who can ring sales, change prices or issue refunds.

How KawaConnect works with Dutchie

We support licensed cannabis cultivators, processors and dispensaries. Through our cannabis IT service we handle the IT side of Dutchie: user accounts and access, API keys and integrations, the computers, scanners, label printers and registers it runs on, network reliability at the site, and reporting built from your data. We are not a compliance consultancy and do not decide what a license requires.

We support Dutchie point of sale at dispensaries, and we connect Dutchie ecommerce menus to the dispensary websites we build and host. Our product Tagestry, part of our software work, prints Metrc-compliant labels and tags.
