As a FFL myself, I built this plugin to solve real-world challenges in firearms e-commerce. From state compliance headaches to dealer management issues, this tool handles the complexities so you can focus on growing your business.
Why is this plug better than the other alternatives?
- It was built by a FFL, actively used by that FFL. I know what the industry needs, especially those first starting out with smaller budgets.
- The data services are built on state-of-the-art cloud-based technologies hosted on Amazon Web Services. This basically means that downtime will be minimal, and performance will be consistent.
- The plugin doesn’t require a Google Maps API key, which can add additional cost and complexity to the installation process of other plugins.
- We maintain a database of signed FFL copies for dealers that perform transfers. While its still your responsibility to ensure that the firearms your mailing go to a willing and able transfer FFL, having these FFL’s on file and available for download is a big time saver in the fulfillment process.
- The Order Details page provides you the ability to Upload FFL’s and also quickly check the ATF ezCheck site for the FFL the customer selected during checkout
- Full compatibility with FFL Cockpit, the premier firearm dropshipping platform
- FFL Checkout can capture required state licenses FOID/FID to help streamline fulfillment
- You will have the ability to blacklist FFL's who do not accept transfers or for any other reaon you have
- Ammunition Compliance, allowing customers to select FFL dealer shipment for states that require it
Screenshots
Here is what the plugin looks like on the checkout page. You will have the option to place the component in different locations. After the user enters in a zip code, a distance to search in miles, and an optional Name search, a list and map appear. The list will show FFL’s in the zip code provided, along with any nearby zip codes within the distance selected. There is an indicator in the list as to whether or not we have the signed copy of the FFL on file. If it’s green, we do… otherwise it’s red. The customer will then select a FFL from either the list or the map, and the shipping details will be auto-populated. The shipping address fields non-editable, except by selecting a FFL via the plugin component
Using the top-right control in the map, you can go into a full screen map mode. You can hit the escape key or click on the same icon to revert back.
Once a customer has placed an order, in the order details view we add two buttons, one for downloading the FFL if it;s on file, and the 2nd to Launch the ATF’s ezCheck site to validate the FFL selected. You can also see the FFL Information tab which shows the selected FFL. This component can be moved to different locations on the order view.
