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.

External services
Google Maps: used to create the map experience during the checkout
AutomaticFFL: provides FFL dealer data, an interactive map experience, and product restrictions
Order certificate files selected by a store manager are uploaded to AutomaticFFL-managed Google Cloud Storage and processed by AutomaticFFL so a valid matching certificate can be attached to the WooCommerce order.
When an order using a selected FFL dealer is placed, the plugin sends the WooCommerce order ID, canonical dealer ID, FFL license, and order creation time to Automatic FFL for aggregate order attribution. Buyer information is not sent for this reporting.
