Who is Paul Angell and what is his AmmoReady background?
Our Founder and CEO, Paul Angell, built and ran AmmoReady.com for 9 years. That real-world firearms ecommerce experience is the foundation of everything we do at Coriolis Agency — delivering a better, more flexible, ownership-focused alternative with zero vendor lock-in.
Why does Coriolis Agency use WooCommerce?
WooCommerce is open-source, which means you fully own your website and data with no vendor lock-in. It powers roughly 28% of all online stores worldwide and gives us unlimited flexibility for ATF-compliant workflows, serialized inventory, FFL transfers, state restrictions, and firearms dropshipping.
Kadence is fast, lightweight, and highly customizable — perfect for firearms retailers who need excellent performance, SEO-friendly structure, and conversion-focused layouts. When paired with our custom FFL optimizations and WP Engine hosting, it delivers a professional storefront that ranks and converts from day one.
Is WooCommerce harder to use than template-based turnkey solutions?
No — when professionally configured and managed (that’s what we do), WooCommerce is actually very easy to use and far more reliable. You own your digital asset with no contracts or lock-in, and you have unlimited time to grow into it. We handle all the complex parts.
Can I cancel my service at any time?
Yes. There are no long-term contracts. You can cancel anytime, and we’ll help you migrate your site or send you a full backup zip file. Your website is truly yours.
What about hosting, security, updates, and uptime?
All handled. Your site runs on a private, dedicated Coriolis server powered by WP Engine with 99.9% uptime SLA, automatic updates, 24/7 monitoring, and US-based support.
Can I use my existing payment gateway?
Yes — we work with firearms-friendly gateways including those from PayRoc and GOAT Payments. We make sure everything stays compliant and reliable for both online and in-store use.
Is my data in its own database?
Yes. Your website runs its own dedicated WordPress and WooCommerce instance with its own database. The only thing shared is our secure, isolated WP Engine hosting environment.
How does firearms dropshipping work with Coriolis Agency?
On our Militia plan and above, we connect you to 20+ distributors via FFL Cockpit for live catalogs, inventory, and pricing. Orders are automatically routed to the lowest-cost distributor, who ships directly to your customer’s chosen local FFL. Everything stays 100% ATF compliant through FastBound.
Do I need distributor accounts to use dropshipping?
In most cases yes, and we guide you through the quick setup process. Once connected, our automation handles catalog syncing, pricing updates, and order routing so you can sell an “endless aisle” without holding stock.
How do you ensure ATF compliance and serialized inventory?
We use native FastBound integration for electronic bound books, automated serialized tracking, and compliant checkout flows (including zip-code-based FFL picker and transfer-to-FFL). State restriction rules, age verification, and shipping guardrails are built in. Everything is designed to keep you audit-ready.
Which POS systems do you integrate with?
We support real-time inventory sync with Corestore, AIM, MicroBiz, Axis, Trident, Rapid POS, and more. This keeps your in-store and online inventory perfectly aligned.
Do you integrate Klaviyo for email marketing?
Yes — Klaviyo is fully integrated so you can build high-converting, segmented email and SMS flows that nurture leads and drive repeat sales while complying with firearms marketing rules.
What are your FFL website plans and pricing?
Plans start at $169/mo with no setup fees when you switch from select platforms (save up to $2,500). Choose the level that matches your needs:
Most new sites launch in 2–4 weeks depending on your inventory and customization needs. Migration from another platform is usually faster. We handle everything so you’re up and selling quickly.
