Within the next few weeks, users of Shopify Inc SHOP's digital platform will be able to order cannabis through an integration with ParcelPal Technology Inc PTNYF, Benzinga has learned.

ParecelPal is an on-demand delivery service that offers merchandise from retailers, restaurants, medical marijuana dispensaries and liquor stores in Vancouver, Calgary and Saskatchewan. The company also said it will be expanding to the rest of Canada soon.

“Shopify is the main e-commerce platform in Canada for cannabis. Our integration onto the Shopify platform allows us to easily integrate and begin executing within the space,” ParcelPal’s President and CEO Kelly Abbott told Benzinga.

Abbott said two of the company’s clients, Choom Holdings Inc CHOOF and Kiaro, are already established on Shopify’s platform. This means that once they integrate, they will be able to “give them an omnichannel approach to their sales. This will give us access to the recreational and medical market.”
