Do I need an FFL to dropship firearms?

Yes. Only a licensed dealer can sell firearms this way. Serialized firearms ship to another FFL for transfer, not to the buyer’s door. This page is not legal advice.

Which distributors can I stream?

Militia and above include an FFL Cockpit license and 21 distributor catalogs with automated lowest-cost fulfillment. Sports South, RSR, Zanders, and Lipsey’s are typical starting points. We add catalogs during setup.

Can I dropship ammunition and accessories too?

Yes, where the destination allows it. Non-serialized goods often ship to the customer. State and local rules still apply. The store has to respect them at checkout.

What if I also stock my own inventory?

Run both. Minute Man is own-inventory WooCommerce. Militia adds dropshipping on top. Brick-and-mortar stores usually want Warlord so the register and the site stay in sync. The full program is FFL Accelerator.

I am a home-based FFL. Can I dropship without a storefront?

Dropshipping can run without a retail floor. You still need a valid FFL and you still follow the rules that apply to your premises. Coriolis does not advise on zoning, HOA, or ATF premises questions. Talk to your attorney and the ATF. This is not legal advice.

Firearms dropshipping for FFLs

Firearms dropshipping lets a licensed FFL sell guns, parts, and accessories without stocking every SKU. The customer orders on your site. The distributor ships to the receiving FFL for transfer. Coriolis builds the WooCommerce store, wires FFL Cockpit, and hosts it. You can sell what you keep on the shelf, dropship, or do both.

FFL Accelerator $569

How it works

You list the catalog

FFL Cockpit streams distributor inventory and pricing onto your WooCommerce store. MAP holds. Availability updates on a short cycle.

The customer checks out

Serialized firearms go through FFL Checkout. The buyer picks a receiving dealer. Accessories and ammo follow destination rules.

The distributor ships

Orders route to the lowest-cost or fastest vendor. You never have to stock that SKU. You can still sell what you keep on the shelf.

Distributor catalogs (August 2026)

Militia and above include an FFL Cockpit license and 21 distributor catalogs. We add houses at setup. Typical starting points: Sports South, RSR, Zanders, Lipsey’s — Firearms and accessories each. Availability and MAP come from the feed. Updates run on a short cycle (about 20 minutes on Militia+). This is not a complete 21-row list.

Is it legal?

Yes, when you hold a valid FFL and follow federal, state, and local rules. Serialized firearms ship FFL-to-FFL. You log the transaction in the bound book you already use. Coriolis is not 4473 software, not a NICS system, and not a bound-book replacement. This is not legal advice.

Who it is for

Gun stores and ranges that want to sell past the glass case. Militia ($269/mo) is the dropshipping plan: 21 distributors, AmmoSeek feed, GunBroker listings. The plan we put dealers on is FFL Accelerator ($569/mo).

Home-based FFLs

Dropshipping can run without a retail floor. You still need a valid FFL. We do not publish a zoning or HOA checklist, a first-90-days timeline, or margin math — those are not facts on this site, and we do not give legal advice. Talk to your attorney and the ATF about premises rules.
