Why this had to exist
The same pattern kept repeating in shop after shop: a website plugin, a separate POS, a separate distributor feed tool, a paper Bound Book, and a CSV pipeline into QuickBooks. Hours every day lost to copy-paste. Sales missed. Compliance corners cut by accident.
Generic commerce platforms can't be retrofitted into a firearms business — the gaps are too specific. Bound Book, NICS workflow, 4473 capture, FFL verification, distributor restrictions, multi-source dropship. Those aren't add-ons. They're the job.
So FFL Stack was built around the job instead of bolted onto something that was never meant for it — one system for the website, the counter, and the books.
