FAQs
Cannabis ecommerce answers built for search, operators, and the people actually running the floor.
What does Alta do?
Alta is a native ecommerce and digital marketing platform for cannabis dispensaries. We help retailers build high-converting websites, menus, product pages, checkout, SEO content, kiosks, and AI shopping tools.
What is native cannabis ecommerce?
It means the website, product menu, specials, location pages, and checkout all live on the retailer's own domain. The shopping experience is the storefront — not a third-party widget.
Why is native better than an iframe menu?
Iframes, subdomains, and reverse-proxy menus split SEO value, analytics, and conversion paths away from your site. Native keeps product content, specials, and the purchase path on one origin.
Which POS systems does Alta work with?
Alta is built to sit on top of the cannabis POS you already run. The demo store uses a live in-platform catalog; production deployments connect through partner APIs when access is available.
What is the Alta Budtender?
An AI shopping assistant grounded in your live menu. It recommends products by effects, potency, and price — and will not invent SKUs that aren't in stock.
What is Alta Kiosk?
An in-store ordering surface that uses the same catalog as the website. Shoppers browse, build a bag, and send it to the counter without waiting in line.
Can Alta support multiple locations and MSOs?
Yes. Single stores, delivery operators, multi-location groups, and multi-state operators. Location-specific menus, geo-targeting, and local SEO pages are first-class.
Do we need a developer to run the site?
Not for day-to-day merchandising. Operators update specials, sliders, and content themselves. Alta handles integrations, launch, and deeper technical work.
