Dear ABLE BC cannabis members and industry colleagues,
On Friday, November 15, 2024, starting at 6:00 a.m., the BC Cannabis Wholesale website will be temporarily out-of-service to accommodate an update to the e-commerce platform hosted by Shopify. The outage is expected to last between four and 12 hours.
The update is required to transition the BC Liquor Distribution Branch’s (LDB) cannabis wholesale and retail e-commerce websites to Shopify’s global platform, as Shopify decommissions its existing Canadian platform and associated technical support.
There will be no change to the website user/customer experience with this update.
Please note: during this brief outage of the e-commerce platform, order submission will be unavailable. Wholesale customers are advised to plan accordingly; please place any time-sensitive orders in advance of the outage period. Immediately following the update, order submission will re-open as usual.
