About
Leaf Trade is the leading enterprise wholesale cannabis platform serving brands, cultivators, distributors, and dispensaries across the United States. The platform provides a centralized wholesale marketplace where cannabis wholesalers can list and sell products directly to qualified dispensary buyers, while dispensaries can streamline their purchasing, inventory management, and accounting processes from a single interface. Leaf Trade offers deep integrations with critical cannabis business systems, including Metrc, BioTrack, ERPs, finance and accounting platforms, and distribution tools — with over 97,000 products imported through these connections. Its built-in Direct Pay solution enables wholesalers to accept secure, fee-free ACH payments from buyers, eliminating cash, checks, and manual processing, while transparent tracking shows exactly who owes what and when payments are expected. The platform also includes Leaf Trade Advertising, offering targeted, data-driven campaigns to help cannabis brands boost visibility and reach the right buyers at the right time. Built-in messaging capabilities, real-time inventory syncing, and comprehensive reporting help operators optimize their tech stacks, reduce operational costs, and make faster, more accurate business decisions. Following its acquisition by LeafLink, Leaf Trade continues to expand its offerings for wholesale cannabis operators of all sizes, from independent cultivators to large enterprise businesses.
