FAQ
Common questions
Does Vertex really do METRC compliance?
Yes. Sync engine pulls inventory and packages, sales finalize on payment, voids reverse cleanly, drift report runs daily. The full compliance loop is built in.
Why is Vertex so much cheaper than Dutchie?
We run on Cloudflare Workers (very cheap to operate at scale) and don't charge per location. Dutchie's pricing reflects their dispensary-only positioning + per-location model.
