Websites for firearms dealers and FFL shops
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.
What most firearms and FFL shops are stuck with.
Almost every shop in this category gets 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
I have already built this.
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. It runs live today and is owned outright by the business that paid for it.

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.
