Strain Library

Admin Manager

Use this page to look up a cannabis strain and copy its details (type, THC, terpene, effects, photo) onto a product instead of typing them.

Quick steps​

To make a new product from a strain:

  1. Go to Products, click More Actions, then Strain Library.
  2. Use Search (or the Type and THC filters) to find the strain, then click its card.
  3. Choose the kind of product, such as Weight (flower), and enter the Product Name.
  4. Click Create product.

To fill in a product you already have:

  1. Open the product and go to the Cannabis tab.
  2. Click Fill from the strain library, then click a strain's image to preview it.
  3. Click ✓ Apply, check the filled-in fields, and click Update Product.
Apply replaces the description

Applying a strain overwrites the product description with the strain's. A product name you've already typed is kept.

Common questions​

I don't see Fill from the strain library on the product. The product's category needs Show Strain Library ticked. Edit the category under Categories and tick it.

Can I add or edit strains in the library? No. The library is read-only.

Can products fill in their strain details automatically? Yes. Turn on Auto-match strain library under Settings > Edit Settings > Products & Inventory. It never overwrites strain details a product already has.

Are the THC numbers exact? No — they are typical figures for the strain. Change them to match your batch's lab results.

More detail: browsing the library and creating products from it

The Strain Library is a built-in catalog of cannabis strains. Use it to look up a strain and fill in its details on a product (strain type, THC, dominant terpene, effects and more) instead of typing them by hand.

Strain Library

The library is read-only. You can't add, edit or delete strains yourself. It is only available when cannabis features are on for your store.

note

Strains whose only image comes from an outside website are left out of the library, the strain browser on the product page, and auto-match.

Browsing the Library​

  1. Go to Products.
  2. Click More Actions, then Strain Library.

The menu item is shown to Admins and Managers.

The page shows 24 strains at a time. Use Previous and Next to page through them. Each card shows the strain's image, name, type, THC level and dominant terpene.

To narrow the list, use:

SearchFinds strains by name
TypeIndica, Sativa or Hybrid
THC (Min / Max)Limits the list to a THC range
Complete data onlyHides strains missing a description, type, terpene or THC level
RandomizeShows a random set of strains

Creating a product from a strain​

Click any strain card to open a create-product window for that strain:

  1. Choose the kind of product, such as Weight (flower) or Unit (pre-roll, concentrate, etc.).
  2. Enter the Product Name and fill in the rest of the window.
  3. Leave Create another after this one (stay on the library) ticked to keep adding products. Untick it to finish after this one.
  4. Click Create product.

The new product gets the strain's type, THC, dominant terpene, effects and "helps with" details, and the strain's photo. It also gets the strain's description, unless the product already has one.

More detail: using the library on the product page

Using the Library on the Product Page​

The strain browser is called Cannabis Strain Template (Optional). On the product page it's folded away under Fill from the strain library, so the Strain Type, THC and CBD fields aren't pushed down the page. It only appears for a product in a category that has Show Strain Library ticked (see Turning the strain browser on for a category).

On an existing product​

  1. Open the product and go to the Cannabis tab.
  2. Tick This is a cannabis product if it isn't already ticked.
  3. In Cannabis Details (Optional), click Fill from the strain library (or Browse beside it) to open the strain browser.
  4. Search or filter the strains, then click a strain's image to preview its details.
  5. Click ✓ Apply.
  6. Review the filled-in fields and adjust anything that doesn't match your batch.
  7. Click Update Product.

Apply fills in:

  • The product name, but only when the name box is empty. A name you've already typed is kept.
  • The product description, which is replaced by the strain's.
  • Strain Type and THC Content.
  • Under Cannabis Profile, a tick on the terpene that matches the strain's dominant terpene, on the effects the strain is strongly known for, and on its medical benefits.
  • The strain's photo, in Image URL on the Details tab.
Apply replaces the description

Applying a strain overwrites the product description with the strain's. Your product's own name (for example "Blue Dream 3.5g — House Brand") is kept; Apply only fills in the name when the box is empty.

Click Clear to close the preview without applying anything.

When adding a new product​

  1. On the Category step, choose a category that has Show Strain Library ticked.
  2. On the Details step, open Cannabis Details.
  3. Use Cannabis Strain Template (Optional) the same way: click a strain's image, then ✓ Apply.

Applying a strain copies its details onto the product once. After that, editing the product doesn't change the library, and the library doesn't change your product.

Turning the strain browser on for a category​

  1. Go to Categories and edit the category.
  2. Tick Show Strain Library and save.

You can also switch it on or off for a category straight from the categories list.

Tick this for categories like Flower and Pre-Rolls, and leave it off for Accessories or Edibles so the browser doesn't clutter those products.

info

On the product page, the category's Show Strain Library checkbox is what shows or hides the strain browser. The Show Strain Library switch in store settings doesn't control it there.

More detail: catalog autofill and auto-matching

Catalog Autofill When Adding Products​

Catalog autofill lets you type a product name and pick a match to fill in its details.

To turn it on:

  1. Go to Settings and click Edit Settings.
  2. Open the Products & Inventory tab.
  3. Tick Catalog autofill when adding products and save.

It is off by default.

Once it's on, when you add a product, start typing in the name field on the Details step. Matches from the product catalog and the strain library appear below the field. Pick one to fill in details such as brand, format, THC/CBD, effects and a photo. You can change any field before you create the product.

Auto-Matching Products to Strains​

Auto-match fills in strain type, THC and effects for products by matching their names against the library.

Turning it on​

  1. Go to Settings and click Edit Settings.
  2. Open the Products & Inventory tab.
  3. Tick Auto-match strain library.
  4. Under Apply to categories, tick the categories it should cover. Ticking a category includes everything under it. If you tick none, it applies to all categories.
  5. Save.

Once it's on, each new product created in those categories is matched automatically.

Matching products you already have​

Use either of these:

  • The Run on existing products now button under Auto-match strain library in settings. It appears after auto-match has been switched on and saved.
  • The Auto-match products to strains button at the top of the Strain Library page. If auto-match isn't on, this button is replaced by an Enable auto-match in Settings → link.

Matching runs in the background, so strain details fill in shortly after.

How it behaves:

  • Name matching first. Each product name is matched against the library.
  • AI best guess. If a name has no match, an AI best guess fills in the details and adds that strain to the library. This counts toward your store's monthly AI usage, and it stops once the monthly limit is reached.
  • Never overwrites. Products that already have strain details are skipped, so details you entered or imported are kept.

Limiting auto-match to your flower categories keeps strain details from being added to edibles or accessories.

More detail: strain photos on public listings, and good habits

Strain Photos on Public Listings​

When a flower product has no photo of its own but is linked to a strain, your RezWeed listing can use the strain's photo in its place. Strains added by the AI best guess can also get a generated bud image. These are stock images, not a photo of the batch on your shelf.

To show only your own product photos there:

  1. Go to Settings and click Edit Settings.
  2. On the General tab, find Public menu data.
  3. Tick Hide strain library images and save.

This option appears only for stores with cannabis features on.

Best Practices​

  • Use the library for consistency. Products of the same strain end up with matching details.
  • Check against your lab results. Library values are typical figures. Adjust THC and other details to match your batch.
  • Set the strain type. Indica, Sativa or Hybrid shows as a coloured badge on the register.
  • Name the product first. Apply keeps a name you've already typed, so enter a specific name (such as the size and brand) before or after applying a strain.
