Automatic FFL vs g-FFL Checkout

Selling firearms or ammunition through WooCommerce? Federal law requires those products to ship to a licensed FFL dealer — not directly to your customer. Automatic FFL adds an interactive dealer map to your checkout (classic and block-based), automatically detects FFL-required products in the cart, enforces state-level ammunition restrictions, and pulls dealer data daily from the ATF. Install in 5 minutes. 30-day free trial. Why store owners choose Automatic FFL 5-minute install, no developer needed — install the plugin, paste your store key, and you’re live. Interactive Google Maps dealer locator — customers search by ZIP or address and pick a dealer in seconds, right inside checkout. FFL popularity indicators on the map — buyers see which dealers are most-used by other shoppers, reducing decision friction at checkout. FFL certificate network — when a customer ships to an in-network FFL, that dealer’s license certificate is automatically attached to your order. No more chasing paperwork by email. ATF-validated dealer database — refreshed daily from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). You’re never serving stale data. Full block-based checkout support — works with both the new WooCommerce Blocks checkout and the classic checkout, with the same dealer selection experience. Automatic FFL detection — analyzes the cart automatically and triggers FFL selection only when needed. Mixed cart handling with save-and-restore — when a cart contains both FFL-required and non-FFL items, customers can save either group, complete the FFL order, and have their saved items automatically restored to the cart. State-level ammunition restrictions — automatically enforces ammunition shipping rules per state. When a customer’s state requires an FFL transfer for ammo, the dealer selector triggers automatically — even without a firearm in the cart. Category-level AND product-level FFL marking — flag entire product categories as FFL-required, or mark individual SKUs. Granular control without manual tagging. Dealer customization — promote in-network or preferred dealers, set transfer fees, add business hours, and control which dealers appear to your customers. Same-day customer support — real humans who know firearms compliance and WooCommerce. Pricing Automatic FFL starts at $99/month with a 30-day free trial. Annual billing is available by request for $1,079/year. Firearms + Ammo coverage is $164/month or $1,776/year. Cancel anytime.
