Launching a new strain on a WooCommerce menu used to mean a budtender or a VA with twelve AllBud tabs open, copy-pasting Indica/Sativa, terpene profiles, effects, lineage, and descriptions into a product, one field at a time, for every SKU you carry. It's slow, it's error-prone, and it's the kind of work that quietly eats 4-6 hours per menu refresh. Strain Sync points a WooCommerce product at an AllBud strain by URL or slug, pulls the public reference data, and writes it into your product as real attribute taxonomies — not blob text. Built for cannabis dispensaries, not retrofitted from a generic product importer. The free version already scans your catalog, suggests AllBud matches per product, and does an in-request bulk apply. Pro is for when that isn't enough: a background, resumable bulk sync that won't time out on a 400-strain catalog, unattended nightly refresh, custom attribute-mapping rules, and full sync logs with one-click rollback when a refresh writes something wrong.
If any of these sound like you
Single-location dispensaries on WooCommerce
Your menu refreshes weekly. Each refresh, somebody on staff is sitting in front of AllBud copy-pasting terpene profiles into product descriptions until midnight. Your hourly cost on data entry alone is more than this plugin costs in a year.
Multi-location dispensary chains
Three storefronts, three online menus, three people doing the same copy-paste loop. The 5-site and Agency licenses cover every location and the scheduled refresh keeps the data in sync across them — without three different team members typing the same terpenes three different ways.
Cannabis web agencies and dispensary devs
Every dispensary client quote includes the same line item: 'data entry for X strains.' Stop quoting it. The Agency Unlimited license covers every dispensary you build, and Pro's background bulk sync handles the initial launch as one resumable job that won't time out on a large catalog — instead of a sprint.
Cannabis brands running customer-facing menus
Your menu changes constantly — new drops, retired strains, rebrands. Scheduled nightly refresh means your online menu's terpene profiles and lineage stay current with AllBud's source data without anyone touching a product page.
What's in the box
Everything in the free column works on its own — install it and you're done. The pro column is an optional upgrade for power users; you never need it to use the plugin.
Free version
no purchase required · fully usable
- AllBud strain lookupConnect a WooCommerce product to an AllBud strain by URL or slug.
- Attribute syncPulls type (Indica/Sativa/Hybrid), lineage, dominant terpenes, and effects into proper WC attribute taxonomies.
- Optional description syncPull AllBud strain descriptions into product short description (toggleable per-product).
- Manual sync buttonRefresh a product's strain data with one click from the product edit screen.
- Match suggestionsScans your catalog and suggests AllBud strain matches per product (ranked by name, with a 'suggestions per product' control) so you're picking from candidates instead of pasting URLs one at a time.
- In-request bulk applyApply strain updates across all matched products in one pass from the Sync tab. Runs synchronously in a single request — great for small catalogs; large catalogs (hundreds of strains) can hit PHP timeouts, which is what Pro's background bulk solves.
- Compliance-friendlyPulls public strain reference data only. No pricing, no inventory, no regulated content syncing.
- Settings panelToggle which fields to sync, choose attribute mapping, configure default behaviors.
Pro adds (optional)
an upgrade, not a gate
- Sync logs & rollbackThe real safety net. Before/after snapshot of every sync in a dedicated log table, and one-click rollback that restores descriptions + attribute terms if a refresh writes something wrong. Free has no undo — this is Pro-only.
- Background bulk sync (non-timeout, resumable)Free's bulk apply runs synchronously in a single request and times out on large catalogs. Pro runs bulk as a batched background job (Action Scheduler with WP-Cron fallback), persisting progress per item so it resumes on failure — so a 400-strain catalog is one job that actually finishes. This is the reason to upgrade, not 'bulk' itself (free already has an in-request bulk apply).
- Scheduled refresh (unattended cron)Hourly/daily/weekly auto-refresh of strain attributes so menu data stays current as AllBud updates entries — no one has to click anything. Free is manual-trigger only; unattended scheduling is Pro-only.
- Attribute mapping rulesMap AllBud's data fields to your custom WooCommerce attribute taxonomies — useful when your store schema doesn't match the defaults. Pro-only.
- Guided bulk match & confirmThe name-match suggestion engine ships in the free plugin. Pro adds a review-and-confirm screen for accepting matches across the catalog in one workflow instead of product-by-product.
- Priority email supportDirect line for dispensary operators. Cannabis verticals don't get standard SaaS support — we get that.
