Why Your Dispensary Should Switch from Gmail to Secure Branded Email

8/12/2025 11:21:02 AM +00:00

Many dispensaries still use Gmail for their company email. While Gmail is easy to set up, it comes with risks that can hurt your business:

  • 🕵️ Spoofing – Scammers can send emails that look like they’re from you.

  • 🔓 Hacked passwords – If a password gets stolen, someone can read your private business emails.

  • 🚪 Staff changes – When employees leave, they can take the login with them.

💡 The solution? Secure, branded company email.

With our Microsoft 365 Business Premium service, your email will be tied to your own domain (like you@yourdispensary.com), not Gmail. This gives you:

  • 🛡️ Strong security with built-in spam and phishing protection

  • 🔐 Easy account control when staff change roles

  • 🤝 A professional, trustworthy email address for customers and suppliers

We can set up Microsoft 365 Business Premium for just $23.50 per seat (annual commitment, billed monthly).

📲 Protect your dispensary’s reputation and data — switch to branded email today.

✉️ Email us at support@marijuanasoftwarellc.com to get your new branded email inbox set up today!

Update Notification July 17th

7/15/2025 1:17:33 PM +00:00

Split Payments & Detailed Payment Tracking
You can now accept split payments — for example, part cash and part card — all in a single transaction. We’ve also expanded payment tracking so you can clearly see how each order was paid, helping with reconciliation and reporting.

  • 💵 Cash Payment: Enter the cash amount tendered, and the system will automatically calculate and display any change due.

  • 💳 Debit Payment: Process the full order amount as a debit card charge, with quick options to round to the nearest $1, $5, or $10.

  • 💵➕💳 Split Payment: Combine cash and debit in a single transaction. Enter how much is paid in cash and how much by debit; the system ensures totals match and shows if any change is due.

🛠 Scheduled Maintenance
We will begin posting this update Wednesday evening, July 16th at 11:00 PM.
Our system may be intermittently unavailable between Wednesday 7/16 at 11:00 PM and Thursday 7/17 at 1:00 AM while we complete the update.
