Too many firearms retailers discover too late that they don’t truly own their online store. Proprietary platforms can trap you, making it expensive—or impossible—to leave. Here’s how to protect your business with the right eCommerce approach.

What Is Vendor Lock-In?

Vendor lock-in happens when your platform controls your hosting, code, or data, preventing you from moving your store elsewhere without major cost or downtime.

Why Vendor Lock-In Hurts FFLs

  • Loss of ownership — Your site and customer data are tied to the provider.
  • Limited customization — You can’t add features freely.
  • Fee creep — Costs rise as your sales grow.

The Open-Source Advantage

With WooCommerce firearms stores, you own your site outright. Hosting, code, and data are portable, so you’re free to change providers anytime.
