Since Metrc disallows integrators from including the Gross Weights of Packages on Draft Transfer Templates, we built the Canix Chrome Extension to allow Metrc facilities to upload them automatically and streamline Outgoing Transfer completion. As Metrc does not allow any third-party integrators, such as Canix, to complete the entire Transfer process via API, each Transfer you create in Canix will be automatically uploaded into Metrc as a Draft Transfer Template, which must then be "registered" in Metrc. After logging into the Canix Chrome Extension just once, every Transfer you Register in Metrc will automatically populate with the Gross Weight of each Package.
