The name on the door is changing. The mission isn’t.
DopeApps has spent years focused on one thing: building high-performing native mobile apps that actually drive revenue for cannabis dispensaries. Custom branding, POS and e-commerce integrations, loyalty and rewards, age verification, and unlimited push notifications have helped retailers turn their customers’ phones into a reliable sales channel.
Now that foundation is getting a serious upgrade.
DopeApps is rebranding to DopeTech and expanding from “mobile app specialists” to a complete retail technology partner for dispensaries:
- Best-in-class native mobile apps
- High-converting dispensary websites
- In-store kiosks for faster, more profitable ordering
Same team, same obsession with performance. Much bigger toolbox.
Why the Rebrand? From “App” to Full Retail Tech Stack
Cannabis retail has changed. Customers are bouncing between your menu, your app, your website, your text campaigns, and your in-store screens before they ever talk to a budtender. If those touchpoints don’t talk to each other, you’re leaving money on the table.
DopeApps began as a focused solution: build outstanding native apps that plug directly into a dispensary’s existing tech stack and keep customers coming back. That meant:
- Native apps integrated with leading cannabis e-commerce and POS platforms
- Built-in rewards and loyalty via partners like Alpine IQ
- Age and user verification to keep operators compliant
- Push notifications that bypass the typical SMS headaches and reach customers on their home screen
Operators kept asking a simple question:
“If this team can build our best revenue-generating channel on mobile, why aren’t they handling our website and in-store experience too?”
DopeTech is the answer to that question. The rebrand reflects what the product already became: not just apps, but an end-to-end technology layer for modern cannabis retail.
What Stays the Same
Some things are not changing, and that matters.
- The same development team is behind the platform.
- Mobile apps remain a core product, not an afterthought.
- Native performance, custom UI, and brand-specific design are still central. Dopeapps.com
- Integrations with top menu, POS, loyalty, and analytics partners continue to be a priority. Dopeapps.com
If you already run a DopeApps mobile app, you’re not being pushed into a new experiment. You’re getting more ways to extend what’s already working.
What’s New Under DopeTech
1. Dispensary Websites Built to Sell, Not Just Look Good
Under DopeTech, websites sit in the same ecosystem as your app and kiosks. The goal is simple: your menu, your data, and your promotions should work the same way whether a customer is on a laptop, an iPhone, or standing in your lobby.
A DopeTech site is designed to:
- Plug directly into your existing e-commerce and menu provider
- Keep branding consistent with your app and physical store
- Prioritize speed and UX so customers don’t abandon their cart mid-scroll
- Support SEO and local visibility so more people find you before they find your competitors
The website stops being a separate project and becomes part of a single retail system.
2. In-Store Kiosks That Actually Move the Line
Walk into a busy dispensary and you see the same pattern: a long line at the counter, customers trying to scan a crowded menu board, and staff juggling questions with transactions.
DopeTech kiosks are built to fix that chaos.
They give customers a familiar interface – the same brand, menu structure, and product categories they see in the app and on the website – on a touchscreen inside the store. That means:
- Faster ordering for repeat customers who already know what they want
- Less pressure on budtenders to handle every discovery question
- Higher average order values driven by smart upsells, featured items, and loyalty prompts
- Better capture of customer behavior data in-store, so you’re not blind to what happens off the web
Instead of treating the store’s front counter as a bottleneck, kiosks turn it into just one of several ways to capture orders.
3. One Tech Layer Across Apps, Web, and Kiosks
The real shift with DopeTech isn’t “we added a kiosk” or “we build websites now.”
It’s that all three channels sit on top of one coordinated technology layer:
- Shared product data and menu logic
- Shared loyalty and rewards integrations
- Shared analytics and event tracking
- Shared branding components and UI patterns
When a product goes out of stock, the change hits the app, the website, and the kiosk. When you run a promotion, the same messaging and targeting can appear across push notifications, the hero on your site, and a featured card on your kiosks.
You stop managing separate projects and start managing one ecosystem.
How This Helps Dispensaries Compete in a Tough Market
Margins are tight. Regulations are strict. Customer expectations are high. You don’t get many chances to impress someone before they move to a different shop down the road.
A unified stack like DopeTech gives operators practical advantages:
- More ways to order
- App for loyalists
- Website for planners
- Kiosk for in-store speed
- More consistent customer experience
- Same categories, deals, and messaging across every screen
- Better data to improve operations
- Understand which products perform best by channel
- See how app users behave versus kiosk users or web visitors
- Less vendor chaos
- One primary technology partner coordinating apps, sites, and in-store digital
You’re not just “adding an app” or “launching a kiosk.” You’re building a coordinated environment where each channel supports the others.
What Existing DopeApps Clients Can Expect
If you already run on DopeApps, this rebrand is more like a power-up than a reset.
Here’s what it means in practical terms:
- Your current apps keep running and being maintained.
- You gain access to new options for websites and kiosks under the same umbrella.
- Future product improvements will be designed with all three channels in mind.
Instead of juggling a web vendor, an app vendor, and a hardware vendor who barely talk to each other, you can center DopeTech as the hub and plug the rest of your stack into it.
Where DopeTech Is Going Next
The move from DopeApps to DopeTech isn’t just about adding more services. It sets the stage for deeper capabilities:
- Better cross-channel analytics and dashboards
- Smarter personalization based on customer behavior across web, app, and kiosks
- More integrations with the rest of your retail stack: loyalty, marketing automation, delivery, and inventory tools
The cannabis industry doesn’t need more disconnected tools. It needs a coherent retail operating layer that respects regulations, runs fast, and actually helps sell more product.
That’s the work DopeTech is now built to do.
