Looking to launch or scale a compliant online gun store without warehousing costs or constant manual updates? Coriolis Agency just introduced Unlimited Firearms Dropshipping for WooCommerce—a turnkey solution that lets FFLs and firearm-friendly retailers sell an always-fresh catalog with automated fulfillment to receiving FFLs, smart compliance at checkout, and zero SKU or order limits. In short: more products online, less overhead, and a smoother customer experience built for the firearms industry.
What is firearms dropshipping (and why it matters)?
Firearms dropshipping lets you list products online that are stocked by your distributor(s). When an order is placed, the distributor ships serialized items to the customer's selected receiving FFL, while eligible non-serialized items ship direct where lawful. You get:
-
Lower inventory risk: Sell first, pay your supplier after the sale.
-
Faster time-to-market: Launch with thousands of SKUs in days, not months.
-
Continuous freshness: Automatic price, stock, and description syncs keep your catalog accurate.
What makes Coriolis "Unlimited" different?
Most "catalog integrations" come with limits or hidden fees. Coriolis removes the brakes:
-
Unlimited SKUs: List your full distributor catalog without caps.
-
Unlimited orders: No monthly order ceilings throttling your growth.
-
Unlimited updates: Continuous syncs (pricing, stock, images, attributes).
-
Unlimited attributes & filters: Caliber, action, barrel length, capacity, finish, and more—cleanly mapped for storefront filters that convert.
Built for WooCommerce. Built for compliance.
We engineered the workflow firearm stores actually need—compliance-first:
-
FFL-First Checkout: Serialized items require FFL selection; we validate and route accordingly.
-
Smart Restrictions: State/city blocks, age gates, and messaging for restricted categories.
-
Address & Shipping Logic: Firearms to FFL; eligible accessories/ammo follow local rules.

Audit-Friendly Trails: Change logs on syncs, stock, and price updates for transparency.
Features that move revenue (not just "connectors")

Media hygiene: Prefer best-quality images; de-duplicate and standardize alt text for SEO.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is firearms dropshipping legal?
Yes—when done correctly. Serialized items must transfer through an FFL. Our checkout enforces FFL selection and applies location-based restrictions and age gates.
Do I need an FFL to use this?
If you intend to sell firearms (serialized items), you must hold an appropriate FFL and comply with federal, state, and local laws. Retailers selling only eligible accessories may not need an FFL, but must still follow local rules.
Which distributors are supported?
We connect to 116 major firearm-friendly distributors via FFL Checkout. During onboarding, we map fields, schedule syncs, and validate data quality for your specific suppliers.
How are MAP and pricing handled?
You define rules (margins by brand/category/SKU), set floors/ceilings, and enable MAP-aware displays like "Add to Cart to See Price" where policy allows.
