Federal law requires those products to ship to a licensed FFL dealer \u2014 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.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Why store owners choose Automatic FFL<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>5-minute install, no developer needed<\/strong> \u2014 install the plugin, paste your store key, and you're live.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Interactive Google Maps dealer locator<\/strong> \u2014 customers search by ZIP or address and pick a dealer in seconds, right inside checkout.<\/li>\n<li><strong>FFL popularity indicators on the map<\/strong> \u2014 buyers see which dealers are most-used by other shoppers, reducing decision friction at checkout.<\/li>\n<li><strong>FFL certificate network<\/strong> \u2014 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.<\/li>\n<li><strong>ATF-validated dealer database<\/strong> \u2014 refreshed daily from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).
