SEED SELF SERVICE
Self-service kiosks for Massachusetts dispensaries
Shorter lines, bigger carts, and loyalty sign-ups that happen on their own — kiosks synced live to your POS. Massachusetts is a mature market where the Host Community Agreement got you open — operations keep you open, and customers expect the menu to match the register.
KIOSKS IN MASSACHUSETTS
Built for the room Massachusetts actually has
Regulars want out in five minutes; first-timers want to read without being hovered over. Kiosks serve both: an express lane for the shoppers who know their order, and pressure-free browsing for the ones still deciding — sort, filter, and read at their own pace, which matters in a store where the products live behind glass. Checkout asks for three things — first name, last name, phone number — and the order lands in your POS.
40% higher average order value
Nobody explores add-ons while a line forms behind them. Kiosks let shoppers browse without the clock — and our recommendation engine suggests relevant products at the moments that matter. Less rush, bigger carts.
150% more loyalty sign-ups
Enrollment happens at the kiosk, mid-order, with no extra step at the counter — which is why stores see dramatically more sign-ups than on standard kiosks. Loyalty grows while the line moves.
Your brand on the glass, not ours
Kiosks are fully white-label: your colors, your logo, your voice. And checkout asks shoppers for exactly three things — first name, last name, phone number — because sixteen form fields is how you end a line-skipping express lane.
“Happy Valley has reported up to 26% larger order sizes on Seed, compared to traditional sales.”

IN-STORE SCREEN RULES · MASSACHUSETTS
What you can show on screens in Massachusetts
An adult-use store in Massachusetts may show products, strains, and prices on an in-store screen; the rule expressly permits posting prices in the store. It may not show discounts, sale pricing, strike-through prices, loyalty or points programs, coupons, or free product, and the Commission’s May 2024 bulletin applied that ban to in-store and online menus. The statute amended in April 2026 now lets the Commission relax this for in-store advertising and opt-in email, but the June 18, 2026 regulations have not yet done so; press reports place the rulemaking vote in December 2026 with a final vote in March 2027. Screens must not make products or brand advertising visible from outside, may not use content that appeals to under-21s, may not make safety or therapeutic claims, and may not carry audio advertising. Brand or product promotions that count as advertising must carry "Please Consume Responsibly," two listed warnings, and the full statutory warning; the rule does not say whether a plain menu screen triggers these. Medical dispensaries follow the same visibility and price rules but have no discount ban, and patient discounts are permitted.
Applies to: adult-use under 935 CMR 500.105(4); medical under 935 CMR 501.105(4), which has no discount ban; co-located licensees follow the stricter rule. Regulator: Cannabis Control Commission (CCC).
- Posting prices inside the store is expressly permitted. “The Marijuana Establishment may post prices in the store and may respond to questions about pricing.” (935 CMR 500.105(4)(a)6)
- Advertising discounts, giveaways, loyalty or points programs, coupons, or free product is prohibited for adult-use licensees; the Commission applied this to in-store and online menus, including "sale," "xx% off," and strike-through pricing. “Advertising through the marketing of free promotional items including, but not limited to, gifts, giveaways, discounts, points-based reward systems, customer loyalty programs, coupons” (935 CMR 500.105(4)(b)20; CCC bulletin, May 21, 2024)
- The statute, as amended effective April 19, 2026, allows the Commission to permit advertising of sales, discounts, and loyalty programs within a marijuana establishment or by opt-in email; the regulations have not yet been changed to do so. (M.G.L. c. 94G, § 4(a½)(xxix))
- Products may not be displayed so they are clearly visible from outside the store, and no brand or product advertising may be displayed on the exterior. “Display of Marijuana or Marijuana Products so as to be clearly visible to a person from the exterior of a Marijuana Establishment” (935 CMR 500.105(4)(b)17, (b)19)
- No content, including mascots, cartoons, and celebrity endorsements, deemed to appeal to a person under 21; no portrayal of anyone under 21. (935 CMR 500.105(4)(b)3-4)
- No claims that products are safe or have curative or therapeutic effects unless supported by substantial evidence as determined by the Commission. (935 CMR 500.105(4)(b)7)
- Advertising created for viewing by the public must carry "Please Consume Responsibly" and at least two listed warnings, and all advertising for products must carry the full statutory warning; whether a plain menu screen is advertising is not addressed. “Any such Advertising created for viewing by the public shall include the statement "Please Consume Responsibly", in a conspicuous manner” (935 CMR 500.105(4)(a)7-8)
- Radio or loudspeaker advertising inside the establishment is prohibited, which matters for screens with sound. (935 CMR 500.105(4)(b)11)
- Illuminated or external signage may not run beyond 30 minutes before sundown until closing; public signage must comply with state and local ordinances. No sign count or size limit, no video rule, and no pre-approval or fee was found. (935 CMR 500.105(4)(b)8-9)
- Medical licensees follow the same visibility and price rules with no counterpart to the discount ban; the Commission’s FAQ says medical treatment centers may offer discounts to registered patients. (935 CMR 501.105(4); CCC FAQ)
Potency on menus: No rule found for menus or screens. Cannabinoid profile is a package-label requirement (935 CMR 500.105(5)).
Where the rule is "keep it accurate," a menu that reads from the POS does the work: sold-out products drop off on their own and the price on the wall is the price at the register. Where the rule is about content, the layout and the campaign are yours to keep inside the lines.
