Getting started with dispensary text messaging can feel complicated, especially when carriers require specific information before messages can be sent.
Blackleaf is designed to make this process as straightforward as possible. This guide explains exactly how signup works, what information is required, and what to expect before you send your first messages.
Step 1: Complete the Blackleaf Signup Form
The first step is to complete the signup form at https://blackleaf.io/signup/.
Submitting this form allows us to create your account and begin carrier registration on your behalf.
What Information Is Required During Signup
Carriers require all dispensaries to provide standard business information before approving text messaging.
- EIN
- Legal business name associated with the EIN
- Business address associated with the EIN
This information is required across the industry and is used by carriers to verify legitimate businesses and reduce spam and abuse.

Carrier approval typically takes 2 to 4 business days, though timing can vary slightly depending on the carrier.
