# Getting Started

Onboarding Process

Before diving into the full documentation, it’s helpful to understand the **end-to-end process of integrating with Weedmaps**. This guide provides a high-level overview of what to expect—from obtaining credentials to going live with a verified integration.

***

## 1. Obtaining API Credentials

**At this time, we are not onboarding new integrations**; however, we are happy to collect your information to keep on file for future consideration. Should your integration align with our market strategy and technical viability, a member of our team will contact you regarding next steps when capacity allows.

To begin, **apply to become an Integrator** by emailing <integrations@weedmaps.com> with the following information:

* Your name and contact details
* The type of integration you wish to build
* Your role within the company
* Mutual customers

While waiting for a response, we recommend:

* Creating a user account on [Weedmaps.com](https://weedmaps.com/signup).
* Reviewing this documentation to familiarize yourself with API functionality.

Once approved, you’ll receive:

* Your **API credentials**
* Access to a **test Listing** linked to your user account

> 📘 Authorization Guides
>
> We have more in-depth guides for our Authorization flow.
>
> * [Obtaining an Access Token](https://developer.weedmaps.com/v2025.07/docs/obtaining-an-access-token)
> * [Making Authorized Requests](https://dash.readme.com/project/menu/v2025.07/docs/making-authorized-request)

***

## 2. Understanding the API

Weedmaps provides comprehensive API documentation to guide you through every integration step.

> 👍 **Best Practice**:
>
> Please review all documentation thoroughly before reaching out for support.
>
> After receiving credentials and reviewing the documentation, if you still have questions, contact us via <integrations@weedmaps.com> or through your designated support channel.

## 3. Connecting a POS to Weedmaps

To access a Listing’s Menu via the API, the **Listing Owner must grant your integration access**.\
They can do this by logging into their Weedmaps account and [selecting your platform as their POS provider](https://bizhelp.weedmaps.com/en/articles/8397233-how-do-i-integrate-my-pos-point-of-sale-with-weedmaps).

***

## 4. Going Live

Once the Weedmaps team is confident in your integration, you will enter a **beta launch phase**.

During **beta**:

* Weedmaps will manually connect your integration to at least one **live Listing**.
* This step ensures a smooth transition from the **test environment** to **production data**.

There is **no mandatory timeframe or minimum number of Listings** in beta. Weedmaps reserves the right to delay go-live if issues are detected during testing.

**When live:**

* Your platform will appear in the Weedmaps UI as an available POS integration.
* Listings will be able to directly select your integration for their accounts.

> 📘 **One User, Multiple Listings**
>
> If an Organization on Weedmaps manages multiple Listings, they will need to manually **select your POS integration for each Listing**.
