RezWeed Overview
Use this page to understand what RezWeed does for your store and how to switch it on.
At a glance
- RezWeed is a free public directory for Indigenous and independent cannabis stores. Brother POS keeps your listing's menu, prices, photos and sale campaigns up to date by itself.
- It only goes one way: Brother POS sends to RezWeed. Changes made on RezWeed never change your POS.
- It's for cannabis stores only. Find it under Settings > Edit Settings, General tab, in the RezWeed section.
- There are two switches: Enable RezWeed directory integration turns the feature on; Publish my menu & sales to RezWeed sends your menu out. Click Update Settings after each.
- Map your categories first (Save category mapping) — products in unmapped categories stay hidden.
- No passwords or keys needed. There's no "sync now" button — changes go out on their own.

More detail: who can use it
RezWeed is a free public directory for Indigenous and independent cannabis stores. Once you connect it, Brother POS keeps your RezWeed listing up to date automatically — your live menu, prices, product photos, strain details, and sale campaigns are mirrored to RezWeed whenever they change in your POS. There is nothing to re-upload and no separate menu to maintain.
This is a one-way publish: Brother POS is the source of truth and pushes to RezWeed. Changing something on RezWeed never changes your POS.
Who can use it
RezWeed is offered to cannabis stores only. The settings appear only when your store has cannabis features enabled. If you do not see a RezWeed section under Settings, cannabis features are turned off for your store.
You do not enter any RezWeed passwords or API keys in Brother POS. RezWeed matches your store automatically by its unique store ID (see Finding your listing below).
More detail: turning it on and off, step by step
How connecting works
There are two switches, one inside the other. Both live under Settings > Edit Settings > General tab, in the RezWeed section.
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Enable RezWeed directory integration | The master switch. When off, nothing is published and every other RezWeed setting stays hidden. |
| Publish my menu & sales to RezWeed | The publish toggle. When on, your storefront-visible products and campaigns are mirrored to your listing. Turning it off clears them from RezWeed. |
Think of it as: Enable turns the feature on for your store, and Publish actually sends your menu out to the public directory.
Turning it on
- Go to Settings > Edit Settings > General tab.
- Find the RezWeed section.
- Check Enable RezWeed directory integration and click Update Settings. The rest of the RezWeed settings appear.
- Map your categories to RezWeed's standard categories and click Save category mapping — see Category Mapping.
- Check Publish my menu & sales to RezWeed.
- Click Update Settings.
Once publishing is on, Brother POS sends your full current menu and all eligible sale campaigns to RezWeed in the background. From then on, any change to a product, category, or campaign updates your listing automatically.
Turning it off
Un-check Publish my menu & sales to RezWeed (or the master Enable switch) and save. Brother POS sends RezWeed an empty menu and removes your deals, which clears your listing. Your settings and category mappings are kept, so you can switch publishing back on later without redoing anything.
More detail: what gets published and how it stays in sync
What gets published
When publishing is on, Brother POS sends:
- Products that are active, visible on your storefront, and set to Show on RezWeed — with prices, weight/quantity price tiers, THC/CBD, strain type, effects, descriptions, and photos. See Menu Sync.
- Sale campaigns that are visible on your storefront and set to show on RezWeed — with their discount, schedule, and target categories. See Deals Sync.
Products are only published once their category resolves to one of RezWeed's standard categories. Anything unmapped stays hidden until you map it — this keeps the public directory consistent so shoppers can filter the same way across every store.
Everything stays in sync automatically
You never have to press a "sync now" button. Brother POS re-publishes the relevant part of your listing whenever you:
- Add, edit, or deactivate a product, or a product sells out or comes back into stock.
- Change a category's RezWeed mapping or visibility.
- Create, edit, or end a sale campaign.
- Turn RezWeed publishing on or off.
Recurring specials (for example "20% off edibles on Tuesdays") stay live on your listing without a nightly refresh. RezWeed knows the deal's schedule and applies it on the right days automatically.
Finding your listing
RezWeed matches your store by its unique store ID, shown in the RezWeed settings section under Listing link. If your menu is not appearing on your listing, share that ID with RezWeed support so they can connect your listing to your POS.
More detail: hiding details from public listings
Controlling what public listings show
Separate from RezWeed's own on/off switch, the Public menu data section under Settings lets you hide certain cannabis details from all public listings (RezWeed, your storefront, and WooCommerce) while still showing them on your in-store POS:
| Setting | Effect |
|---|---|
| Hide strain library images | Only your own uploaded product photos appear — generic strain-library and AI-generated images are not shown. |
| Hide THC % from public listings | THC values (and THC-based filters) are not published. |
| Hide auto-generated descriptions on RezWeed | Only your hand-written product descriptions are published, not ones sourced from the strain library or AI. |
These apply everywhere your data is synced, so use them if the baseline data may not match exactly what is on your shelves.
More detail: the RezWeed loyalty card at the till
RezWeed loyalty card at the till
RezWeed gives shoppers a loyalty card they keep in their phone's wallet. You can accept that card at your register:
- Scan it to find the customer. Scanning the card's QR code finds the customer it belongs to. You can also type the five-character code and tap the Look up RezWeed card button that appears. The first time a card is used, Brother POS links it to your matching customer (same phone number or email), or creates a new customer if there is no match. See Customer Lookup.
- Your store's loyalty program stays in charge. Points, tiers, rewards and store credit all work exactly as they do now. Any points balance the customer has on RezWeed itself is never brought into Brother POS or made spendable at your counter.
- The card shows what they have with you. After a customer's points or tier change at your store, Brother POS sends the new points, visit count and tier to RezWeed, so the card in their phone stays current.
More detail: troubleshooting and good habits
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| No RezWeed section under Settings | Cannabis features are turned off for your store. RezWeed is cannabis-only. |
| Publish toggle is hidden | Turn on the master Enable RezWeed directory integration switch first. |
| Menu not showing on the listing | Confirm both switches are on, then share your store ID (under Listing link) with RezWeed support. |
| Some products missing | They are likely unmapped categories, hidden, out of stock, or turned off for RezWeed. See Menu Sync and Category Mapping. |
Best Practices
- Map your categories first. Products under unmapped categories stay hidden, so do the mapping before you expect a full menu. See Category Mapping.
- Use "Hide out-of-stock" if you sell fast. It keeps your listing honest by dropping sold-out items and re-adding them the moment you restock. See Menu Sync.
- Let it run. You don't need to refresh manually — edits flow through on their own.
