Weedlink Cart – A Smarter, Cheaper Way to Manage Orders
What is it?
The Weedlink App is a custom-built sales and order management platform developed by CDM (Cannabis Driven Management) to help small cannabis businesses manage wholesale orders, product catalogs, and inventory — all without paying for costly enterprise systems.
It runs on Google AppSheet, built over a free public base template called Shopping Cart 7.2 by MultiTech Visions, which CDM modified extensively to fit the realities of cannabis operations.
Think of it as a DIY version of LeafLink or Distru, built entirely with Google tools — fast, affordable, and flexible enough for real operators.
Why It Was Created
Weedlink was born out of frustration and necessity. Most small producers and retailers juggle multiple disconnected systems — BioTrack for compliance, QuickBooks for accounting, Google Sheets for tracking, and maybe a high-priced marketplace subscription that barely gets used. None of it talks to each other.
After talking with dozens of operators across New Mexico, the problem was clear:
“Nobody’s running everything through LeafLink. Everyone’s still re-entering orders in spreadsheets.”
So CDM set out to build something that solved the real problems — not with new software, but with smarter tools.
The Build
CDM’s version — nicknamed Weedlink Cart — takes MultiTech’s foundation and retools it for real-world cannabis operations.
It’s purpose-built for small businesses, distributors, and producers who need a cost-effective alternative to high-priced order management systems like LeafLink or Distru.
Where the original 7.2 template stopped at product totals, the Weedlink Cart adds industry-specific horsepower:
Added Features for Cannabis Operations
COA Hosting & Linking: Attach Certificates of Analysis directly to product listings for instant access.
Category & Class Structure: Built to mirror BioTrack or Cova naming conventions — ensuring clean exports.
Real-Time Inventory Allocation: Orders automatically deduct stock and return it when canceled.
Rep-Assigned Orders: The app tags every order by the logged-in user (via UserEmail()) for accountability.
Multi-Level Discounts: Line-item and full-order discount logic carried over and refined.
PDF Purchase Orders: Auto-generated, branded, and downloadable in one tap.
CSV Export + Import: Export your catalog, let a customer fill it out, upload it back — the system builds an order automatically.
Secure Role Access: Admin, Sales Rep, and Customer views with tailored permissions.
COA Viewer Integration: Buyers can review lab results before ordering, directly within the app.
Why It Matters
For many small operators, order systems are either too expensive or too complex to manage. Weedlink Cart was designed to bridge that gap — delivering all the essential sales and inventory functions without the recurring costs.
It can run straight out of Google Sheets and AppSheet, which means:
No paid subscriptions.
No third-party integrations.
No IT department needed.
Just a shareable app that anyone in your network can use — from a phone, tablet, or desktop.
The Goal
The mission behind Weedlink Cart is simple: Give small cannabis businesses the tools to run like enterprise operations — without enterprise pricing.
By expanding on a free public template and layering in compliance-ready features like COA hosting and order approvals, CDM turned a general demo app into a full-scale wholesale platform that any operator can use, customize, and own outright.
