Automatic FFL™ enhances the Checkout of your store, making it convenient for customers to ship their purchased firearms to a local Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL). The application provides facilities for the store owner to define which products must be shipped to an FFL, and which ones they can be shipped to. Customers of the store are provided with a dealer locator powered by Google Maps. The locator is presented to the customer on the checkout page, and allows them to easily search for, and select an FFL. Customers are unable to complete a firearms-related purchase without first selecting an FFL.

When you install the Magento extension, a new attribute called “FFL Required” will be added to your attributes. Make sure this attribute is available in all of the attribute sets you use for firearms in your product catalog.
On each firearm product in your catalog, enable the “FFL Required” setting. This can be done in bulk as well.
Automatic FFL gives you the ability to customize the list of dealers that will be available for checkout. See Documentation for complete details.
