Celerant Partners with eCheckpoint to Navigate Complex State and Local Shipping Restrictions for FFL Dealers Fulfilling Online Orders
Celerant Technology, a preferred retail software provider for the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), has announced a partnership with eCheckpoint to address one of the firearms industry’s most time-consuming and error-prone challenges: manual compliance verification for regulated product sales.
FFL dealers face significant challenges when selling online: navigating complex and constantly changing firearm regulations across federal, state, and local levels. Independent dealers must be aware of the evolving restrictions based on zip code/region, and verify compliance for every product and shipping destination—firearms, ammo, magazines, and even knives in some jurisdictions. When manual, this process is time-consuming and makes dealers prone to costly mistakes. Celerant’s new eCommerce integration with eCheckPoint automates this critical task, saving dealers hours of manual work each day and reducing the risk of compliance errors that could lead to ATF violations, legal trouble, lost sales, and damaged customer trust.
How eCheckpoint Transforms Compliance from Liability to Competitive Advantage
eCheckpoint’s platform automatically tags every product in a dealer’s catalog with comprehensive regulatory data, screening each item against over 40,000 federal, state, county, and city-level restrictions. The system works in real-time during the customer checkout process:
- Pre-Screened Product Catalog: eCheckpoint’s compliance experts continuously monitor and update regulatory databases, automatically tagging products with restriction data before they ever reach the dealer’s website.
- Real-Time Checkout Verification: When customers add items to their cart, the system instantly cross-references the shipping address against all applicable laws, blocking restricted items before the payment processes.
- Automated Credential Collection: For products requiring special permits, FFL transfers, or law enforcement credentials, the system automatically identifies requirements and collects necessary documentation.
- Smart FFL Routing: The platform automatically determines which products require FFL transfers and connects customers only with dealers legally authorized to receive those specific items in their jurisdiction.
Expert Automated Assistance for Every Regulated Transaction
The automation delivers measurable business impact: dealers report reductions in order processing time, elimination of compliance-related order cancellations, and ability to confidently expand into new markets without hiring additional compliance staff. The eCheckpoint integration activates automatically within existing Celerant systems. Dealers gain access to:
- CityCheck: Post-order validation against all applicable laws
- CartGuard: Pre-checkout blocking of restricted items
- Verify: Automated credential collection and verification
- EasyFFL: Intelligent FFL dealer selection based on product-specific transfer laws
- ClearStock: Pre-tagged, compliance-ready product catalogs
