In the United States, firearms are subject to federal regulations that require them to be delivered to licensed FFL (Federal Firearms License) locations. Flxpoint helps you comply with these regulations by providing tools to identify, validate, and route firearm-related products appropriately.

This guide explains how to configure firearms workflows in Flxpoint and ensure compliance with these requirements.

Key Features for FFL Handling

Identifying Firearm Products
Flxpoint identifies and flags products that require FFL transfers to ensure proper workflows are applied. Examples of items requiring FFL handling include:

• Complete firearms (e.g., rifles, pistols, shotguns).
• Serialized components (e.g., AR-15 lower receivers).
• Restricted items requiring additional approvals (e.g., silencers).

Order Splitting for Mixed Items
Orders containing both firearm and non-firearm items are automatically split:

• Firearm Orders: Held until FFL validation is complete.
• Non-Firearm Orders: Processed immediately.

Validation of FFL Information
During fulfillment request generation, Flxpoint ensures all required FFL details are present:

• License number.
• Address of the receiving FFL holder.
• Contact details.

2. Mapping Firearm Fields in Inventory

Proper field mapping is essential for identifying firearm products. This is configured in your Get Inventory Mapping template.

• Navigate to Connections > Fulfillment Sources.
• Select the source and go to Integration Settings.
• Click the three-dot menu and choose Manage Mappings.

Important Fields to Map:

• Product Type/Category: Distinguish firearms from non-firearms.
• FFL Required: Indicate whether a product requires an FFL transfer.
• Firearm Indicator: Flag items that must follow firearm-specific workflows.

Mapping these fields ensures Flxpoint processes firearm-related items correctly.

3. Enable the FFL Toggle for Inventory Items

To manually indicate that a product requires an FFL transfer:

• Navigate to Products > Inventory.
• Select the firearm variant and scroll to the Additional Properties section.
• Enable the Requires FFL toggle.

This step ensures that specific products are flagged for FFL handling during order processing.

Adding FFL Information for Fulfillment

Orders containing firearms must include valid FFL details. Flxpoint provides options for automatic and manual FFL entry:

Manual FFL Entry

• Navigate to Orders.
• Select the order and manually enter the following FFL details:
  • FFL License Number.
  • Receiving Party Address and Contact Information.

Automatic FFL Collection

• If enabled, Flxpoint automatically pulls FFL details based on mapped fields and sales channel configurations. Ensure your sales channel supports FFL information collection to avoid delays.

Pro Tip: Ensure your sales channel supports FFL information collection, as Flxpoint relies on the sales channel to provide valid FFL details.
