Today, technology company Square announced a partnership with
Jane Technologies (“Jane”), the premier online ordering platform
service for cannabis dispensaries, solidifying plans to cater to
cannabis sellers in Canada.
Jane allows cannabis dispensaries processing with Square to
supplement their brick-and-mortar business with an online store,
where customers can select items from an up-to-date menu and order
for pick-up or delivery. This represents a significant step forward
in the two companies’ quest to create better commerce solutions for
the recreational cannabis industry in Canada.
As part of this offering, Square has announced an Early Access
Program for licensed cannabis dispensaries, which allows authorized
cannabis sellers in Ontario to begin testing the Square for Retail
point of sale (POS) solution in stores ahead of the service being
launched more widely.
“At Square, we’re always looking to solve sellers’ pain points
and we know cannabis dispensaries have limited options when it
comes to reliable and integrated commerce tools,” said Roshan
Jhunja, Head of Retail at Square. “Sellers are looking for an
easy-to-use, fully integrated omnichannel solution to help them run
their businesses in person and online. We’ve been fortunate to
partner with Jane to develop a robust online offering and encourage
cannabis dispensaries to test our software, hardware and payment
solution in person through our Early Access Program.”
“Square’s reputation as a leading global commerce platform
speaks for itself and, given our shared ethos of empowering
brick-and-mortar retailers with best-in-class digital tools, the
partnership with Jane developed naturally,” explained Jane CEO
Socrates Rosenfeld. “We are thrilled to integrate the robust
infrastructure of Square’s point-of-sale and APIs with the powerful
Jane ecommerce platform to unlock a best-in-class omnichannel
experience for Canadian cannabis retailers.”
The recreational cannabis market became legal across Canada in
2018 and is estimated to be worth more than $4.5 billion, with some
projecting more than 18% annual growth through 2024.

Square’s Early Access Program to start selling in-person with
Square for Retail and online through Jane can find more details and
