Mark Firearm Products

Firearms products need to be marked with a custom field indicating they are FFL-required.

This can be done in the store control panel under the Products tab, but if you have a large catalog, you can use BigCommerce’s bulk edit feature.

Simply click on the action menu and select Edit. Once you’ve begun editing a product, you can scroll down to the Custom Fields section.

Add a custom field with the name ffl_type and the value firearm. Click the Save button to confirm your changes. It will now be restricted to FFL shipping.

Custom Map Message

You can customize the message that appears on the FFL map by clicking EDIT on your store in the Automatic FFL app dashboard.

Styling

Automatic FFL will do its best to match the store’s styling by pulling from your theme. If you don’t like the way it looks, you can easily add your own CSS to override the styles.

Dealer Management

Automatic FFL gives you the ability to customize the list of dealers that will be available for checkout. See Documentation for complete details.
