We’ve added an even easier version of the Merrco/Buddi integration. Our new integration allows all settings to be controlled via the Merrco team which helps improve stability and security. To use the upgraded version please reach out to support@buddi.io and we’ll coordinate a switchover with the Merrco team.

Please note support for the current integration with Merrco (Paysafe) will end on December 31st, 2023. Moving forward we will only be supporting the PayHQ version.

Buddi now allows you to build a collection by uploading a CSV file with barcodes. This makes building a collection fast and efficient so you can get back to managing your store.

From 10:35pm EST / 7:35PM PST until approximately 11:00pm EST / 8:00pm PST our database encountered an issue that prevented online menus and kiosks from loading. Our team has worked diligently to resolve the issue and services have been restored. Unfortunately, this error was caused by maintenance being performed on the database. We will strive to avoid future interruptions while performing maintenance.

So many products to choose from, and so little time! We've made the decision process more seamless by enabling customers to compare up to 4 products side by side. Customers can view all of the product details to help them decide what to purchase. This feature can be enabled/disabled via:

Settings > In-store kiosk settings > Product Comparison.

More options for product content! Now you can add in the overall terpene percentage and have it displayed on the product page.

Here’s a product showing the overall percentage.

We’ve made it more “scent”sible when it comes to filtering. Try out the terpene filter to find the product with that particular scent and flavour to satisfy your senses. Ahhhhh.
