Connect BigCommerce to firearm distributors for inventory, pricing, feeds, analytics, and dropship order fulfillment.

FFL Cockpit

connects your BigCommerce store to the firearms industry’s leading distributors — including RSR, Davidson’s, Lipsey’s, Sports South, Zanders, Chattanooga, and many more — so you can manage distributor inventory, pricing, product availability, dropship fulfillment, and marketplace feeds from one centralized dashboard.

Instead of manually importing spreadsheets, updating prices, checking distributor stock, or logging into multiple portals to fulfill orders, FFL Cockpit brings those workflows together and helps automate the operational side of running a firearms ecommerce business.

Distributor Integrations

Connect your distributor accounts once and control how each vendor feeds your BigCommerce catalog.

FFL Cockpit allows you to decide which distributors are active, how inventory should be prioritized, and how stock quantities should flow through to your store. If the same UPC is available from multiple distributors, FFL Cockpit can help determine which distributor should be used based on your configuration, availability, cost, fulfillment preference, and other rules.

This gives you more control over what appears for sale, where inventory is sourced from, and how your store reacts as distributor availability changes.

POS Integrations

FFL Cockpit can also connect with supported point-of-sale systems to help keep your online catalog aligned with the products and inventory you already manage in-store.

POS integrations can be used to match products by UPC, SKU, department, product class, category, or other available product data, helping bridge the gap between your in-store inventory system and your BigCommerce storefront. This allows dealers to better coordinate online and in-store sales without manually rebuilding the same catalog in multiple places.

With POS integration support, FFL Cockpit can help map POS departments and item classes into ecommerce-ready product categories, apply product class rules, identify in-store items, and support more accurate catalog organization across your sales channels.

For dealers using both distributor feeds and a POS system, FFL Cockpit can help combine those data sources into a more complete inventory and product management workflow.

Automated Pricing

Create global or per-distributor pricing rules and let FFL Cockpit keep your product prices in sync as distributor costs change.

Pricing rules can be configured around markups, margins, minimum profit requirements, distributor-specific handling, and MAP pricing. This helps reduce manual price maintenance and allows your store to react more quickly when distributor costs, availability, or MAP values change.

Whether you want a broad pricing strategy across your entire catalog or more specific rules by distributor or product type, FFL Cockpit gives you the flexibility to manage pricing at scale.

Product Restrictions

Keep restricted products in check with configurable product restriction rules that reflect your business and compliance requirements.

FFL Cockpit can help you control which types of products are allowed to list, which products should be excluded, and how restricted categories are handled. These rules can be used to prevent unwanted items from being added to your catalog or made available for sale.

This is especially useful for stores that need tighter control over firearms, ammunition, magazines, knives, NFA-related items, state-restricted products, or other regulated inventory.

Product Search and Analytics

FFL Cockpit includes product search and analytics tools designed to help dealers better understand their catalog, inventory, and sales opportunities.

The product search tool makes it easier to find and review products across connected distributor feeds, POS data, and your store catalog. Dealers can search by UPC, SKU, brand, product name, distributor, category, product class, availability, pricing, and other available product data. This helps quickly identify where a product is coming from, which distributors carry it, how it is priced, whether it is eligible to list, and how it is being handled by your configuration rules.

Analytics features give dealers more visibility into their ecommerce operations. FFL Cockpit can help surface useful insights around inventory availability, pricing gaps, margin opportunities, top products, trending products, new arrivals, back-in-stock items, and other catalog-level opportunities.

These tools are designed to help retailers make better decisions about what to list, how to price products, where inventory is available, and which products may deserve more attention across their store and marketing channels.

Marketing Feeds

Publish your catalog to the firearms industry’s top shopping and listing channels, including GunBroker, Gun.Deals, Guns.com, AmmoSeek, Wikiarms, and several more.

FFL Cockpit helps prepare and maintain product feeds for external marketplaces and shopping engines so your inventory can reach more buyers beyond your BigCommerce storefront. Feed settings can be controlled from your FFL Cockpit configuration, allowing you to manage which products are eligible, how pricing is handled, and how your catalog is represented across supported channels.

This gives dealers another way to drive visibility, traffic, and sales without manually building and maintaining separate product feeds.

Order Fulfillment, Right in the Order Screen

A g-FFL panel appears directly inside your BigCommerce order view, giving you access to key fulfillment actions without leaving the BigCommerce admin.

From the order screen, you can assign the customer’s FFL dealer, review distributor sourcing details, place the order with the distributor, and track fulfillment progress. This helps streamline the dropship workflow and reduces the need to jump between BigCommerce, distributor websites, and separate internal systems.

For firearms orders, this also helps keep the FFL selection and fulfillment process tied directly to the customer’s order.

Notifications

Receive alerts for the order, inventory, and fulfillment events that matter most.

FFL Cockpit can notify you when important actions or status changes require attention, helping you stay on top of inventory changes, order fulfillment activity, and other operational events. These notifications are designed to help dealers respond faster and avoid missed steps in the sales and fulfillment process.

Built for Firearms Ecommerce

FFL Cockpit is designed specifically for firearms retailers, not generic ecommerce catalog management.

The system is built around the realities of the firearms industry, including distributor inventory feeds, UPC-based catalog matching, MAP pricing, FFL-required products, dropship fulfillment, product restrictions, marketplace feeds, and dealer-specific configuration needs.

By combining distributor data, product rules, pricing automation, and fulfillment tools, FFL Cockpit helps BigCommerce firearms dealers operate more efficiently and keep their catalog better aligned with real distributor availability.
