Move From Receiving To Pickup With Less Re-Entry

Keep The Bound-Book Step With The Sale

A receiving or transfer workflow asks staff to keep the product record, serial, customer, 4473, and pickup status aligned. MFS Exchange provides a direct FastBound connection for routine acquisition and disposition work, while the bound-book provider remains the system of record for its own compliance data.

Receive, Assign, And Prepare The Transfer

• Acquire and dispose firearms from the POS or WordPress admin, keeping routine work in the order and inventory workflow.
• Link FastBound items to WooCommerce products automatically as they sync, or manually for edge cases. Unlinked items get their own admin page so you can clean up gaps.
• Serial-number assignment in the order screen with return-to-inventory handling on cancellation. Staff can see which unit is assigned to each order before pickup.
• Stock counts driven by available serial numbers on linked products, so the storefront and POS can reflect the available units in the local catalog.
• Acquisitions from the workflows you already run — buybacks and trade-ins at the register, consignments, purchase-order receiving, transfers and storage check-ins.
• Sold-elsewhere protection — before selling a serial, the register checks FastBound and refuses one it shows as already sold, with a manager override only when FastBound can’t be reached. A serial also can’t sit on two open orders at once.
• FFL lookup for shipping — the register’s ship-to-FFL flow searches FFLs by ZIP code through your FastBound connection.

Prepare And Complete The Disposition

• Create Pending Disposition — adds all order items to a disposition in FastBound with pricing, ready for the 4473 step.
• Create Pending Disposition and Attach 4473 — does the above, then locks the disposition with a 4473 form attached and returns the buyer certification PIN back to the UI for use in the background-check workflow.
• 4473 form attachment returns the relevant completion detail to MFS Exchange, so staff can keep the order's transfer record together.
• Automatic cancellation handling — if an order is cancelled before disposition, serials return to inventory and stock updates flow through.

Manufacturer And Attribute Normalization

• Manufacturer mapping normalizes distributor values so "GLOCK", "Glock Inc.", and "Glock, Inc." all map to one canonical entry.
• Attribute mapping standardizes caliber, action type, barrel length, and other fields across distributor sources — eliminates near-duplicate attributes caused by slight naming variations.
• SKU format conventions — uses your prefix + UPC (e.g., FFL-123456789), and each used firearm gets its own product with its serial in the SKU (e.g., FFL-123456789-U-AB12345), so SKUs stay clean and predictable.
• Stock tracking automatically enabled on linked products with quantities driven by available serial numbers.
• Product attributes auto-populated — manufacturer, model, caliber, type, and condition pulled from the FastBound item and applied to the WooCommerce product.

Give Staff A Clear Exception Path

• Unlinked Items page — items in FastBound that aren't yet linked to a WooCommerce product. Link to existing or create new.
• Linked Items page — items connected to products, with stock levels and an unlink option.
• Missing-serial unlink handling — if a linked serial disappears from FastBound, the product is safely unlinked and surfaced for cleanup, rather than silently drifting out of sync.
• Settings page — connection credentials, 3-letter local prefix, and connection config.
• Optional 15-minute inventory refresh for stores whose FastBound updates don’t always arrive on their own.
• Order management — serial selection saves to the order as staff assign each unit, alongside FastBound ID tracking and 4473 processing on the WooCommerce order screen.
