Cova to Dutchie menu gap at six Ontario locations

At six Sessions locations, 30 to 47 percent of the products that are in stock in Cova never appear on the Dutchie menu (Plus API and consumer menu). On the same check most other locations sit at 2 to 5 percent, which is the normal set of bags, loyalty items and accessories that are never sold online (a handful of larger stores run 10 to 25 percent, mostly accessories); the control store below is at 3.4 percent. This is a different problem from the last-unit add-to-cart rejections on 685427 / 686841: these products are not on the menu at all, at any quantity.

Opened September 25, 2026 (request 701112). Re-measured September 28, 2026 against a fresh Cova snapshot: unchanged. Back to the Sessions x Dutchie issue log.

Same check at the control store, Cambridge (Hespeler): the normal never-online set (bags, loyalty items, a few accessories).
4 of 5
Kolab Project SKUs from the Sep 25 example still missing at Amherstburg on Sep 28. The same Cova ProductIds are live on the menu at other locations.

Locations set up in Dutchie in 2026 (Fiddlesticks April, Amherstburg and West Brant May, Kellogg August). Possibly related to ticket 678128 (July), when the West Brant consumer menu was unpublished for a period.

The six locations, Sep 25 and Sep 28

In-stock means selling room, quantity above zero, from the Cova DetailedProductData API. On the menu means present on the Dutchie Plus API menu for that retailer (joined by posId, which equals the Cova ProductId, then by product name for anything left). Both measurements use the same method.

One example to trace end to end: Kolab Project at Amherstburg

Cova shows these Kolab Project SKUs on the shelf at Amherstburg (retailer 2ad9be91-21b3-4cef-81e5-7c515c699d56, Cova location 395180). None of them is on the Amherstburg menu in the Plus API or the consumer menu. The same Cova ProductIds are live on the menu at other Sessions locations (Guava OG 1829337d is on the menu at Sault Ste Marie Hillside and Aurora), so the products are mapped and active in the enterprise.

What Sessions has already ruled out

  1. Archived or inactive products. The products are not archived or inactive at the enterprise level; our marketing director checked in Dutchie admin.
  2. The quantity threshold. A threshold hides the last unit of a listed product. These menus list other products at quantity 1 to 3, and the missing products include items with 10 to 30 units on hand. The Sep 28 live test on 685427 / 686841 also showed the threshold is 0 at every store we tested.
  3. Sessions' own catalog cache. The check reads Dutchie's Plus API menu directly, not the sessions.ca catalog, so nothing on Sessions' side is between Cova and the numbers above.
  4. Store-level product setup. The same Cova ProductIds are on the menu at other locations, so the enterprise mapping exists; what is missing is the per-location listing at these six retailers.

CSV columns: store, dutchie_retailer_id, cova_location_id, product_name, cova_sku, cova_product_id, cova_qty_in_stock. One row per in-stock Cova product that is not on that retailer's Dutchie menu. Bags, loyalty items and accessories are included so the list is complete; the cannabis rows are the ones customers ask about in store.

Customer impact

Store teams at these six locations get customer questions about products they can see on the shelf but cannot find online, and the sessions.ca menu for each of them is missing roughly a third to a half of the store's actual range. Any interim step Dutchie can take (a forced re-sync, a product import for these retailers) is welcome while the root cause is found. Sessions can provide API traces, more examples, or join a call.
