How DubLedger keeps you compliant

Auto METRC daily sync

Every sale reports to METRC automatically with package tags, customer IDs, and correct transfer types. No manual end-of-day reconciliation.

Lab test verification

Scan any package to instantly surface its lab certificate. Block sales of failed or expired batches automatically at checkout.

DCC-compliant receipts

Generate receipts and labels that meet California formatting requirements without manual workarounds or third-party tools.

Delivery manifest automation

Create compliant delivery manifests with package details, route info, and driver credentials. Validate before dispatch to prevent compliance gaps.

Excise tax handling

Automatically calculate and apply California's 15% excise tax at checkout. Report taxed amounts in METRC transaction payloads.

Gram limit enforcement

Track daily and rolling 30-day purchase limits per customer across all registers. Block over-limit sales before they reach METRC.
