How Firearms Retailers Can Streamline the Online Buying Experience for Better Sales and Happier Customers

Selling guns online isn’t like selling hats or headphones. Firearms e-commerce comes with layers of complexity unique to the industry—legal restrictions, age and identity verification, FFL transfers, shipping limitations, and more. These hurdles don’t just impact the retailer; they create friction for the customer, who might abandon their cart at the first sign of confusion or delay.

coreFORCE - Distributors: How to Setup a Distributor

When we add a distributor, the customer needs to add the location first here (Advanced customers can do this, but not CF Basics customers).

When the location is added, CF Basics customers can only see available distributors in the dropdown if the distributor is already set up in Location Maintenance.

Pointing your domain name to coreFORCE Basic or Standard (Lite)

Ready to make your coreFORCE Basic or Standard site public?

The process of making your site available to your customers is called "going live".  The final step is pointing your domain name to coreFORCE Basic/Standard so that customers will see your domain.

But, before you go live, there are several steps to take to make sure that your site will run smoothly. Look at the "Getting Started" tab in Site Defaults to see if you're ready to go live.
