Websites for firearms and FFL shops in St. Louis.
The big platforms and payment companies flatly refuse to serve firearms, which leaves most shops stuck with a basic page and no real store. A custom build runs on its own stack with a compliant checkout, so no outside company can switch you off. Built right here in Missouri for St. Louis and the surrounding Greater St. Louis area.
What most St. Louis firearms and FFL shops are stuck with.
In St. Louis, most firearms and FFL shops get sold a locked down template that bans your products. Here is where that falls down, and what a custom build does instead.
The usual setup
- Mainstream store platforms and checkout providers ban firearms outright
- Age gating, FFL transfer, and serialized inventory are not things a template handles
- One policy change at a platform can shut your store down overnight
- Compliance details get bolted on badly, if at all
What I build instead
- A compliant custom checkout built for firearms, on a stack nobody can shut off
- Serialized inventory and FFL transfer handling built in
- An age gate and the compliance pieces your category actually needs
- A build or quote configurator buyers drive themselves
- Accessories and apparel sold alongside, under one roof
- Server rendered pages so Google and AI tools can actually read your shop
A local builder for St. Louis.
St. Louis is a big market with big agency prices and plenty of platform built sites that render blank to search crawlers. A custom, server rendered site gives a St. Louis business a real edge in both Google and the AI tools people now ask for recommendations.
Ares Custom Rifles is a compliant custom store for a precision rifle maker, with FFL checkout, serialized inventory, an age gate, and a buyer driven configurator. The same approach is what a St. Louis firearms or FFL shops business gets.

Will a payment company drop me later?
Your checkout is built to suit the category from the start and runs on your own stack, so you are not at the mercy of a mainstream provider quietly changing its rules.
Can buyers configure a custom build themselves?
Yes. A configurator lets buyers spec what they want and request a quote, the same approach running live for a precision rifle maker today.
