Notes
Websites for FFL dealers and gun shops.
A shop site, plus the transfer, the dealer on the order, and a processor that will take the sale.
An FFL dealer site is a shop site plus the transfer, the dealer on the order, and a payment processor that accepts firearms sales. I build those rules into checkout.
Built for FFL rules and transfers.
Already in a shop build
- Pages for the shop and what it sells.
Added for a dealer site
- A product catalog the shop can edit.
- Pay on the site, once a processor is in place.
- An order the shop can open, receipt, and finish.
A dealer order
- The receiving dealer is on the order, not buried in a note.
- Staff can change that dealer after the order is placed.
- The email after checkout says what happens next: the transfer, what the buyer brings, and that the firearm does not ship to a house.
- A license check, an age question, and a ship-to limit by product or by state are checkout rules. Which rule applies is the dealer's call, and their attorney's. The site enforces the rule they set.
- A hosted shop can list the products and then refuse the payment. Shopify's own payments prohibit firearm sales. PayPal, Stripe, and Square restrict or prohibit them. The processor is chosen before launch, and set up by the client. No processor is promised.
Separate
- Pay on the site, once that processor is in place.
- A custom build, such as a 2011 to a spec. Not a normal add-to-cart.
- Classes or a range schedule, if the dealer runs them.
- A rebuild that brings products, customers, and orders over.
- Carding defense on a high-ticket item: a challenge, a rate limit, and a hold.
The pages for any store. Shop site.
