Best FFL ecommerce website
The best FFL ecommerce website is the one the dealer owns. AmmoReady and Gearfire rent you a catalog. Orchid bundles compliance with a storefront. Coriolis builds ATF-aware WooCommerce on your domain — inventory, firearms dropshipping, or both — with FFL Cockpit for feeds and checkout. You can leave with the site.
What actually differs
“Not built in” is not the same as “not supported.” Closed platforms bundle. WooCommerce integrates. Marks belong to their owners.

Questions we get
- What is the best FFL ecommerce website?
- The one you own. Closed platforms (AmmoReady, Gearfire, Orchid storefronts) rent you a catalog. Coriolis builds WooCommerce on your domain — inventory, dropshipping, or both — and you can take it with you.
- Does WooCommerce handle FFL checkout and dropshipping?
- Yes, when it is built that way. We use FFL Cockpit and FFL Checkout for dealer selection, 21 distributor catalogs, MAP, and lowest-cost routing. Militia ($269/mo) is the dropshipping plan.
- What about POS and the bound book?
- Bring your POS. Warlord integrates AIM, MicroBiz, Rapid, Trident 1, and Corestore. Coriolis is not 4473, NICS, or bound-book software — those stay with the systems licensed for them.
