Strain Library

Admin

The Strain Library is a read-only visual reference catalog of cannabis strains embedded in the product creation workflow. It provides a convenient way to browse strains and auto-populate cannabis attributes when creating or editing products.

Strain Library

Cannabis feature required

The Strain Library is only available when Cannabis Features are enabled in your store settings. Navigate to Settings > Edit Settings > Products & Inventory tab and confirm that Enable Cannabis Features is toggled on.

How the Strain Library Works​

The Strain Library is a read-only catalog -- you cannot create, edit, or delete strains. It is designed as a reference tool used during product creation.

Browsing Strains​

The library displays strains with the following information:

  • Image -- A visual reference for the strain.
  • Name -- The strain name (e.g., "Blue Dream", "OG Kush").
  • Type -- Indica, Sativa, or Hybrid classification.
  • THC Level -- Typical THC percentage range.
  • Dominant Terpene -- The primary terpene associated with the strain.

You can browse the catalog visually and search or filter by the attributes above.

Using the Strain Library with Products​

The primary use of the Strain Library is during product creation or editing:

  1. Navigate to Admin > Products and create or edit a product.
  2. In the Cannabis Attributes section, access the strain browser.
  3. Browse strains by image, type, THC level, name, or dominant terpene.
  4. Click a strain to auto-populate the product's cannabis attributes (type, terpene profile, effects, flavors, and medical benefits).
  5. Review and adjust the auto-populated attributes as needed.
  6. Save the product.
Save time with auto-populate

Instead of manually entering terpenes, effects, and flavors for each product, use the strain library to pre-fill these attributes. This ensures consistency across products of the same strain.

Linking Strains to Products​

When you select a strain from the library during product creation:

  • The product inherits the strain's terpene profile, effects, flavors, and medical benefits.
  • The strain name is associated with the product.
  • Multiple products can reference the same strain (e.g., different weight or format variations of the same cultivar).

From the Product Edit Page​

  1. Open the product you want to update.
  2. In the Cannabis Attributes section, find the Strain dropdown.
  3. Select the strain from the library.
  4. Save the product.

Best Practices​

  • Use the library for consistency -- When multiple products share the same strain, selecting from the library ensures they all have matching attribute data.
  • Review auto-populated data -- The library provides default attributes, but you may want to adjust based on your specific batch's lab results.
  • Always set the type -- Indica, Sativa, or Hybrid. This powers search filters on the POS.
  • One strain, many products -- A single strain can be sold in multiple weights and formats. Link all of them to the same strain for consistent data.
