Sticky and the general-purpose ESPs, compared
General-purpose email tools do not understand cannabis compliance, POS attribution, or wallet loyalty. You end up building workarounds for everything. Sticky ships with all of it on day one.
Pick Sticky Cards if you want email, text, push and wallet loyalty to run off your POS data without building the connections yourself. Keep a general-purpose email tool if you already have someone who maintains its integrations and you do not need wallet loyalty.
Side by side
| Feature | Sticky Cards | Generic ESP |
|---|---|---|
| Wallet loyalty (Apple & Google Wallet) | Yes | No |
| Cannabis compliance controls built in | Yes | No |
| POS integrations (Dutchie, Treez, Flowhub) | Yes | No |
| Send-time windows you configure, enforced | Yes | No |
| Strain & product-aware segmentation | Yes | No |
| Revenue attribution without Zapier | Yes | No |
| Migration handled for you & white-glove onboarding | Yes | No |
A generic ESP can be made to work with enough Zapier. The question worth asking is who maintains it the week your POS renames a field.
When a general-purpose ESP is the better fit
If email is your only channel, your list is small, and you have someone who enjoys wiring tools together, a general-purpose ESP can carry you a long way.
If you already run Klaviyo and want to keep it for email, you do not have to choose: Sticky Cards connects to Klaviyo, and the loyalty and push run alongside it.
Moving across
We move your lists and creative across, and set up the POS connection so segments read live order data from day one.
Questions we get
Can Klaviyo or Mailchimp work for a dispensary?
They can send email, and with enough connection work they can read some of your order data. Wallet loyalty, cannabis send-time controls and POS attribution are not what they are built for, so you build and maintain those yourself.
Does Sticky Cards work with Klaviyo?
Yes. Sticky Cards connects to Klaviyo, so you can keep Klaviyo for email and run wallet loyalty and push from Sticky Cards on the same customer.
What moves across when I switch from my ESP?
Your lists and your creative. We also connect your POS, so your segments read live order data from day one rather than a nightly export.
Does Sticky Cards charge a setup fee?
No. There is no setup fee. Pricing is built on your store count and volume and quoted on a 30-minute call.
