Is DistruCommerce a direct LeafLink alternative?

Yes. DistruCommerce competes directly with LeafLink for cannabis B2B wholesale ordering. It covers embeddable storefronts, real-time ERP inventory sync, order management, and free retailer access. All of that overlaps with LeafLink's core product.

Can I use DistruCommerce and LeafLink at the same time?

Yes. Distru integrates with LeafLink. Some operators use DistruCommerce for their established retail accounts (zero commissions, direct relationships) while maintaining a LeafLink presence for net-new buyer discovery. The integration allows data to flow between both systems. Most operators who run them side by side eventually consolidate onto DistruCommerce as their account base grows. There's no requirement to cut over all at once.

Does Distru charge fees based on my revenue?

No. Distru charges a flat monthly subscription. Your bill is the same regardless of how much you sell. LeafLink's pricing is volume-based and set through a sales call, so costs can move as your business grows. That's the real difference. With Distru, a record quarter doesn't change what you owe the following month.

What is the difference between DistruCommerce and LeafLink?

The main difference is the model. LeafLink is a centralized marketplace: your brand lists inside their platform, pricing scales with your volume, and discovery happens through their network. DistruCommerce is brand-centric: your storefront lives on your own URL, retailers can discover you through the DistruCommerce marketplace, and you pay a flat monthly rate with no revenue-linked fees. Your menus also sync live from the Distru ERP. LeafLink requires manual updates to stay current.

Does LeafLink replace a cannabis ERP?

No. LeafLink is a wholesale marketplace, not an ERP. It does not manage cultivation, manufacturing, production runs, Metrc or BioTrack compliance, warehouse operations, or cost accounting. LeafLink explicitly positions as a platform that integrates with ERPs. Operators using LeafLink still need a full ERP for operational management, meaning two subscriptions and two data sets to maintain. Distru ERP + DistruCommerce replaces both with one connected system.

Why would I switch from LeafLink to DistruCommerce?

The most common reasons: your software cost shouldn't go up every time your revenue does. DistruCommerce charges a flat monthly rate. You're manually updating inventory in LeafLink every time something changes, and DistruCommerce syncs live from your ERP. You want Metrc transfers to run without manual matching. And you want a storefront that looks like your brand, not a listing in someone else's marketplace. DistruCommerce is also a marketplace where retailers discover new brands, so you don't lose discovery reach by switching.

QuickBooks sync built in

Two-way, no add-ons.

While most wholesale platforms handle invoicing through integrations, Distru's two-way QuickBooks sync (sales orders, invoices, credit memos) is native to the platform: included, not an add-on, with no reconciliation gaps.

Metrc compliance

Two-way Metrc sync

Distru syncs two-way with Metrc at 100+ API calls per minute, more than any other cannabis ERP. Daily manifests are automated, so your team gets alerted when something needs attention, not after it's already behind.
