Launching Summer 2026 — Germany First

Grow with the Coalition

Europe's first cross-brand cannabis loyalty coalition. Your customers earn "Buds" points at every partner store and redeem them for real-world rewards — travel, events, exclusive merch, and culture.

Not another discount program. Buds creates a network effect where every partner makes every other partner stronger. More partners = more earning opportunities = more engaged customers = higher AOV for everyone.

QUESTIONS? ANSWERS.

How does the coalition model drive engagement?

By connecting retailers into a single ecosystem, customers are motivated to stay within the network to maximize their Buds points. The flywheel effect means more partners = more earning locations = more engaged customers = higher spend per visit. Partners see 23% AOV increases on average.

What does integration actually cost?

Plugin setup is free and included in all plans. Monthly access starts at €500 for Basic. There are no per-transaction fees. Enterprise custom builds are quoted based on complexity but typically take under a week.

Can I donate surplus products to the rewards pool?

Yes! Partners can optionally contribute surplus inventory to the Buds rewards catalog. This turns excess stock into customer loyalty — your products become desirable rewards that drive engagement across the entire network.

How are returns and refunds handled?

Buds tokens earned on returned products are automatically reconciled via POS synchronization. The system handles partial returns proportionally. No manual intervention needed.

Can pharmacies participate?

Yes, provided they meet local compliance standards for loyalty systems in the pharmaceutical sector. We've built Germany-first GDPR/DSGVO compliance into the core platform.

What are the partner requirements?

Partners must hold valid operational licenses for cannabis retail in their jurisdiction and align with our values of transparency, privacy-first data handling, and social responsibility. We review all applications within 48 hours.

What's the difference between Buds and BudsPro?

Buds is the standard coalition loyalty program open to all partners. BudsPro is an invitation-only premium tier that connects qualified partners to verified high-value spenders (€180+ avg transaction). BudsPro members come from WeedMaps, Weed.de, BlueDream.com and 40+ platforms — at zero acquisition cost to you.
