/ what it does

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. Pro adds bulk sync, scheduled nightly refresh, and smart name-matching so a catalog of 400 strains is one job, not one job-per-strain.

/ who it's for

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 Bulk Sync handles the initial launch in one job 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.

an upgrade, not a gate

  • Scheduled refresh
    Nightly auto-refresh of strain attributes so menu data stays current as AllBud updates entries.
  • Smart matching

Common questions

Does this require WooCommerce? +
Yes. Strain Sync writes data into WooCommerce product attributes, taxonomies, and post meta. A non-WC site has nothing to sync into.
What does it actually pull from AllBud? +
Strain type (Indica / Sativa / Hybrid), lineage / parent strains, dominant terpenes, reported effects, and (optionally) the AllBud strain description. Data is written to standard WooCommerce attribute taxonomies so it works with your existing filters, faceted search, and theme templates.
Is this compliance-safe? +
Yes. The plugin syncs public strain reference data only — the same kind of educational catalog info AllBud already publishes openly. It does **not** sync prices, inventory levels, regulated medical claims, or anything you'd want a compliance team to review case-by-case. You stay in control of what's published on your site.
Why is the pricing higher than your other plugins? +
Because Strain Sync replaces the alternative: paying a budtender or a virtual assistant to manually copy AllBud data into WooCommerce for every product. Even a small dispensary has 100+ active SKUs. At 5 minutes per product, you're spending 8+ hours of labor every menu refresh. Strain Sync Pro pays for itself the first time you do a bulk sync.
How does the license work? +
Pro licenses are issued per site activation. The 1-Site tier covers one production storefront. The 5-Site tier covers up to five (good for chains and small agencies). Agency Unlimited is unlimited activations under one license. License checks run against bigbad.agency over HTTPS with a 24-hour cache, fail-closed on hard errors.
Can I switch tiers later? +
Yes — upgrade from 1-Site to 5-Site or Agency at any time. You only pay the difference for the remainder of your billing cycle.
How often does Pro re-sync data? +
Configurable. The default is nightly, but you can set it to hourly, weekly, or off. You can always trigger a manual sync per-product (free version) or bulk-sync your whole catalog (Pro).
What happens if AllBud changes their site or breaks? +
The plugin uses defensive parsing and degrades gracefully — if a single attribute can't be found, it leaves the existing WooCommerce value untouched rather than wiping it. Pro adds sync logs and one-click rollback so you can revert any sync that went wrong. We also push fixes promptly when AllBud changes their structure.
Where do I get support? +
Free version: WordPress.org plugin support forum. Pro: email **support@bigbad.agency** with your license key. Cannabis verticals get real human support, not a chatbot.
