How to Develop an Unique Cannabis Delivery App

As global support for the legalization of marijuana or cannabis increases, investors and entrepreneurs around the world are becoming increasingly interested in the development of cannabis delivery applications.

In terms of numbers, the drug is legal for medical use in 35 states, with an astounding 15 states also permitting adults to use it for recreational purposes. And it appears that the numbers have no intention of slowing down.

To assist you in taking the next step, this article outlines the fundamentals required to launch an online cannabis app development company.

From the business model to the key features and technology stack, here is everything you need to know.

The Business Model of an App for Online Cannabis Delivery

A Cannabis Delivery App employs three types of business models that allow it to expand extremely rapidly with no marginal cost:

Model for On-Demand Delivery Apps

The on-demand delivery app model necessitates a delivery partner for various medical stores, clinics, and dispensaries specializing in the delivery of weed/medical marijuana. You can act as their delivery and logistics partner and charge a fee for each order you fulfil.

The Cannabis Retailer Profile

Often referred to as the bricks-and-clicks model, this model is appropriate for businesses with physical stores or medical shops that wish to operate both online and offline. This model gives you the flexibility to sell medical marijuana or legalised cannabis to customers who do not have access to medical stores but desire delivery to their doorstep.

Aggregator Model

The most prevalent business model currently observed is the Aggregator model. Similar to Uber, but you are responsible for all operations. From monitoring buying, selling, and delivery to selling and delivering their services under your own brand, you must partner with multiple service providers. The aggregator type will require the development of an app for three stakeholders, namely the Buyer, the Seller, and the Delivery Boy.

App Monetization Model

There are three typical ways to generate income with a medical marijuana delivery app:

Commission and Service Fees: Charge a commission on each order placed through the application.

Allow medical dispensaries to advertise their cannabis products within the app.

Paid Promotions: Promote cannabis providers on your app by highlighting them.

In this post, we will examine the characteristics of various stakeholders and discuss in depth the essential characteristics that must be included.

Key Features of the Cannabis Delivery App Registration for the Customer App: The user should be able to sign up for the app using a mobile number, email address, or social media handle. Additionally, you can use two-factor authentication with SMS or phone verification.

Users should be able to search for local dispensaries in their vicinity.

Users should be able to browse strains that are compatible with cannabis.

Users should be able to filter strains by their categories, such as Indica, Sativa, and hybrids.

View Detail: Enhance your product detail page with details such as benefits, ingredients, dosage, and frequency of use in addition to price, storage instructions, ratings, etc.

Users should be able to add multiple products to the shopping cart and place orders for single or multiple medications.

In-App Payments: Utilize credit/debit card, UPI, net banking, etc. for simple in-app purchases.

Once a customer has placed an order, they should receive push notifications regarding order updates, offers, and discounts, etc.

This feature enables the customer to track the delivery boy as he travels to the customer's preferred location.
