For licensed cannabis retailers only. Availability subject to the regulations of each jurisdiction; licensing verification is part of onboarding.

The problem

Generic e-commerce was never built for this.

Licensed cannabis retail is one of the most heavily regulated retail categories in the world — and most stores are forced to run it on platforms built for t-shirts, with compliance duct-taped on through plugins.

  • Age gates that are a checkbox, not a verification — and no record of either
  • Purchase limits enforced by budtender memory instead of by the cart
  • Product data that breaks labeling rules the moment marketing edits a description
  • Storefront stock drifting from POS stock, overselling regulated inventory
  • Compliance reviews that mean reconstructing months of orders by hand

9 modules, all included

Every module a licensed cannabis retailer actually needs.

Not plugins bolted onto a generic cart — a complete operating system where every module is compliance-aware and connected to all the others.

Module 1 of 9

Branded Storefront

A fast, mobile-first storefront that looks like your brand and behaves like a licensed retailer — age-gated from the first pixel.

  • Custom-branded, mobile-first storefront on your domain
  • Jurisdiction-aware age gate before any product content is shown
  • Menu views by category, format, brand, and permitted attribute tags
  • Search and filtering tuned for cannabis attributes (THC/CBD, format, size)
  • SEO-ready product and category pages within marketing regulations
  • Store hours, locations, and service-area display

Module 2 of 9

Regulated Product Catalog

Cannabis product data as structured schema — cannabinoid content, lots, and formats — so listings stay compliant as the menu grows.

  • Structured fields for THC/CBD content, format, strain, and package size
  • Lot and batch information carried on every listing
  • Jurisdiction rule profiles governing what may be displayed and how
  • Compliance guardrails on descriptions and imagery before publish
  • Bulk catalog import and supplier feed mapping
  • Automatic delisting when a product or lot is recalled or restricted

Module 3 of 9

Age & Identity Verification

Verification as a first-class checkout step — not a plugin — with a record kept for every order.

  • Age attestation at entry; ID verification at checkout or handoff
  • Integration points for third-party ID verification providers
  • Verification records stored against every order
  • Re-verification rules for returning customers per jurisdiction
  • Failed-verification handling with order hold and staff alert

Module 4 of 9

Purchase Limits & Cart Controls

Legal limits computed by the cart, not remembered by staff — equivalency math included.

  • Per-order and per-customer quantity limits by jurisdiction
  • Dry-flower equivalency calculation across formats
  • Hard blocks at cart and checkout on over-limit orders
  • Configurable limit profiles per store location
  • Limit-event logging for compliance review

Module 5 of 9

Inventory, POS & Seed-to-Sale Sync

The storefront sells only what the store actually has — synced with your point of sale and tracking systems.

  • Real-time stock sync with POS so online never oversells the floor
  • Integration points for seed-to-sale/traceability systems
  • Reserved-stock handling for pending pickup and delivery orders
  • Low-stock thresholds and automatic menu hiding
  • Multi-location inventory with per-store menus

Module 6 of 9

Checkout, Pickup & Delivery

Click-and-collect and delivery flows designed for how licensed cannabis retail actually operates — verification at handoff included.

  • Scheduled pickup windows and in-store collection queues
  • Delivery zones, fees, and jurisdiction-permitted delivery rules
  • ID re-check workflow at handoff with driver/staff confirmation
  • Payment options appropriate to cannabis retail per region
  • Order statuses customers can track without calling the store

Module 7 of 9

Customers & Loyalty (Where Permitted)

Know your regulars and reward them — inside the marketing rules of your jurisdiction.

  • Customer accounts with verified-age status and order history
  • Loyalty points and rewards where regulations permit
  • Opt-in communication with jurisdiction-aware content rules
  • Purchase-history views that respect privacy requirements

Module 8 of 9

Compliance Reporting & Audit Vault

When the regulator asks, the answer is an export — orders, verifications, limits, and inventory movements, all logged.

  • Immutable logs of orders, verifications, and limit checks
  • Inventory movement history reconciled with POS
  • Regulator-ready export packs by date range and location
  • Recall tracing: find every order containing a lot in minutes
  • Retention policies aligned to jurisdictional requirements

Module 9 of 9

Analytics & Store Operations

Sales, basket, and category analytics built for dispensary operators — minus the guesswork.

  • Sales dashboards by location, category, brand, and daypart
  • Basket analysis and menu performance
  • Pickup/delivery SLA and fulfillment tracking
  • Staff roles and permissions across locations
  • Multi-store rollout tooling for chains

How it works

From menu to handoff, compliant at every step

Each stage enforces the rules automatically, and each stage writes to the audit vault — so operating compliantly and operating normally are the same thing.

  1. 1

    Publish a compliant menu

    Products enter the catalog as structured, regulated data. Jurisdiction profiles check every listing before it goes live on the age-gated storefront.

  2. 2

    Verify the customer

    Shoppers pass the age gate to browse and complete ID verification at checkout. Every verification is recorded against the order.

  3. 3

    Cart enforces the law

    Equivalency math runs live in the cart. Over-limit orders are blocked before payment — no staff judgment call required.

  4. 4

    Inventory stays truthful

    Orders reserve stock synced with your POS, so the storefront never sells product the floor doesn't have.

  5. 5

    Fulfill with verification at handoff

    Pickup and delivery flows re-check ID at the moment of handoff, with confirmation logged by staff or driver.

  6. 6

    Audit is an export

    Orders, verifications, limit events, and inventory movements are already logged. Compliance reviews become a date-range export.

Built for every seat

One platform, every role covered.

  • Store Owner / Operator

    Before
    Lives in fear of a compliance violation that risks the license itself.
    After
    Rules enforced by the platform and a complete audit trail — the license is protected by architecture, not vigilance.

  • Compliance Officer

    Before
    Reconstructs order histories by hand for every review and recall.
    After
    Regulator-ready exports and lot-level recall tracing in minutes, not weeks.

  • E-commerce / Marketing Manager

    Before
    Every menu edit risks breaking labeling and advertising rules.
    After
    Guardrails check listings against jurisdiction profiles before publish — creativity inside the lines.

  • Budtender / Fulfillment Staff

    Before
    Expected to remember limits and verify IDs perfectly under pressure.
    After
    The cart enforces limits and the handoff flow prompts every verification step.

  • Multi-store Chain

    Before
    Different rules per location, different menus, no consolidated view.
    After
    Per-location rule profiles and menus with chain-level analytics and rollout tooling.

BuilderSoft Product TeamFrom the Canna Commerce design notes
The thesis is simple: in cannabis retail, the software that keeps you compliant is the software that keeps you in business. Everything else is decoration.

Questions

Canna Commerce FAQ

Something not covered here? Email info@buildersoft.ca — a human answers within one business day.

What is Canna Commerce?

Canna Commerce is an upcoming e-commerce platform from BuilderSoft designed specifically for licensed cannabis retailers — covering the storefront, regulated catalog, age and ID verification, purchase limits, POS and inventory sync, pickup and delivery, and compliance reporting in one system.

When does Canna Commerce launch?

Canna Commerce is currently in development with pilot cohorts of licensed retailers. Join the early-access list on this page and we'll contact you as pilots open; early-access stores receive preferred launch pricing.

Who can use Canna Commerce?

Licensed cannabis retailers only. License verification is part of onboarding, and the platform operates within the regulations of each jurisdiction it serves.

How does Canna Commerce handle purchase limits?

Limits are enforced by the platform, not by staff memory. The cart computes dry-flower equivalency across formats and hard-blocks over-limit orders at checkout, logging every limit event for compliance review.

Does it sync with my POS and seed-to-sale system?

Yes — real-time stock sync with dispensary POS systems and integration points for traceability systems are core modules, so the storefront never oversells the floor and inventory movements reconcile end to end.

How is Canna Commerce different from a generic e-commerce platform?

Generic platforms treat compliance as plugins. Canna Commerce treats it as architecture: age gating, ID verification, purchase limits, regulated product schema, and immutable audit logging are the foundation, not add-ons.

Does it support multiple store locations?

Yes. Multi-location inventory, per-store menus and rule profiles, and chain-level analytics are built in for operators running more than one licensed store.
