Metrc Buyer’s Club Transfer Workflow

What’s changing?

Metrc has introduced a dedicated “Buyer’s Club Transfer” type specifically for Buyer’s Club events. This creates a formal workflow for transporting and reconciling trade samples tied to licensed industry events.  

When does the new transfer type go live?

The new Buyer’s Club External Transfer workflow will be live on Monday, May 11, 2026.

Licensees will be able to:

• designate products as trade samples

• create Buyer’s Club external transfers

• transport products to approved events

• complete post-event reconciliation directly in Metrc

What should I enter as the destination?

Destination Name:

Revelry Buyers’ Club 7

Destination Address:

110 Front Street, Hudson, NY 12534

What products can be used as Buyer’s Club trade samples?

Products must:

• be a Finished Good package

• have a testing status of:

  • TestPassed

  • or RetestPassed

• be designated as a Trade Sample in Metrc

• Also be physically labeled as a trade sample on packaging  

How do I prepare products for a Buyer’s Club event?

Before creating a transfer:

1. Navigate to the Packages grid in Metrc

2. Select the package(s)

3. Apply the Trade Sample designation

Once designated, the products can be added to a Buyer’s Club transfer manifest.  

How do I create a Buyer’s Club transfer?

In Metrc:

1. Navigate to:

   • Transfers → External

2. Select:

   • Outgoing

3. Click:

   • New Transfer

4. Choose:

   • Buyer’s Club Transfer

5. Enter:

   • Event name

   • Event address

7. Save and submit transfer  

Is the event destination preloaded in Metrc?

• No, at this time, the destination address field is manually entered as free-form text. Licensees are responsible for ensuring the address is accurate.  

What happens after the event?

After the Buyer’s Club concludes, licensees must:

1. Return to:

   • Transfers → External

2. Locate the outgoing transfer

3. Complete the transfer in Metrc

4. Confirm packages are removed from active inventory  

This reconciliation step is required to maintain accurate inventory records.
