Once licenses have been awarded, licensees can sign up for training through Metrc Learn. Our interactive platform offers an extensive library of facility-based courses designed to meet your unique needs.
Metrc’s track-and-trace system relies on two main components: online software and physical tags. Our cloud-based software requires an internet connection and a computer to use it. No additional hardware or software is required.
Metrc is $40 per month per license, not per user. This reporting fee covers access to the Metrc platform and ongoing training, support, and maintenance. Additionally, Metrc charges $0.45 per plant tag and $0.25 per wholesale package tag. These costs are designed to be affordable and scale with the size of the business. Since licensees aren’t responsible for printing their own tags, they can focus on their core business and avoid costs such as printing equipment and labor to assemble, test, and input tracking tags. Metrc tags are ready to use for all the unique environmental conditions for marijuana cultivation, manufacturing, and retail.
Metrc is an integrated system that allows for real-time tracking and tracing of marijuana plants and products. Licensees attach unique tags to every plant and wholesale package. These tags use readable text, barcodes, and radio frequency identification (RFID) chips to uniquely identify each plant and package. Users then enter information such as plant or product weight, transfer of custody, and test results in our online software platform. That information is then saved and available online for the licensee and OMMA.
Yes. Metrc offers an open API that allows other software platforms to integrate into Metrc. This gives licensees the flexibility to use whatever software they choose, such as point of sale, and still have their data automatically report into Metrc.

No. Licensees will only be able to access their own information through Metrc. They will not be able see any information about any other licensee unless they are doing business with another licensee. An example would be transferring packages, where a receiving business can see the package information and lab results from the shipping business prior to receiving the inventory into their account.
