Buyers see a licensed dealer
A green Verified FFL badge on your profile and listings so buyers can tell you are a licensed, AGT-verified shop — not a random classifieds account.
FFL Dealer Accounts
Licensed FFL? Sync inventory, run an AI agent on your shop, and get recommended first for local transfers.
- WooCommerce catalog sync
- AI agent + REST API
- First for transfers
Every AGT account lists new and used firearms with zero listing fees and zero commission on private sales. Verified FFL is the dealer stack on top of that: AGT Sync for WooCommerce, a REST API with PHP and TypeScript SDKs, an AI agent that can manage inventory, a public dealer badge, first place in the interstate-transfer FFL picker, and a higher group-share limit. We do not take a cut of your gun sales. We sell shop tools so the rest of the marketplace stays free — and we pledge 10% of platform profits to anti-trafficking causes.
Shop tools, not just a badge
You do not type the same gun twice
AGT Sync for WooCommerce publishes your simple products with photos, maps categories once, and writes sold guns back to out of stock in both directions — so you cannot sell the same firearm twice.
An AI agent that runs the shop
Verified FFL includes MCP access. Point Claude, Cursor, or another agent at your scoped key and it can list, update, restock, and poll status without living in the dashboard.
REST API and official SDKs
Versioned dealer API, PHP and TypeScript SDKs, no per-call fees. Push inventory from your POS, scripts, or middleware — create, update, restore, and check listings in bulk.
You get the transfer, not the shop down the street
When a buyer picks a receiving FFL in their state, verified dealers rank ahead of unverified ones — even when a nearby unverified FFL is closer.
Five times the group reach, still every dollar
Bulk-share a listing to 50 local buy/sell groups at once, versus 10 on a free account. Verified FFL is a subscription, not a cut of the sale.
Dealer stack vs. typing it twice
| Topic | American Gun Trader | Typical dealer listing dump |
|---|---|---|
| Catalog entry | WooCommerce plugin, REST API, or AI agent | Retype every SKU into a second site |
| Sold inventory | Two-way writeback so a gun cannot sell twice | Manual reconciliation after the fact |
| Automation | MCP AI assistant plus PHP and TypeScript SDKs | No shop API, or a paid add-on |
| Transfer leads | Recommended first in the FFL picker | Buried in a public dealer directory |
| Sale fee | Zero commission on private sales | Listing fees, closing fees, or both |
| Group promotion | Share to 50 groups per send | Pay per bump, or start over by hand |
How it works
-
Start with a free account
Register, verify your email, and post listings immediately — no fees, no commission, no waiting on FFL paperwork to start selling.
-
Apply for FFL verification
Submit your license details from account settings. We review real FFL holders before granting the badge or any dealer tool.
-
Connect the shop
Install AGT Sync for WooCommerce, mint an API key, or hook an AI agent. Verified-vendor catalog listings publish without sitting in the consumer moderation queue.
-
Get recommended for receiving transfers
Buyers arranging typical private interstate transfers see verified dealers in their state ranked first in the FFL picker — a source of transfer business on top of your own catalog.
We verify a real, current FFL before granting shop tools. We will not rubber-stamp a badge so a scammer can look like a licensed dealer.

Run your catalog with saved views and bulk actions
FFL Tools is the dealer dashboard for high-volume inventory: filter by status, save views, select batches, and push price or status updates across dozens of listings at once — the same advanced selling tools sellers preview before they upgrade.
Recommended first, even when a closer FFL isn't verified
In this picker, an AGT-verified dealer 8.8 miles away is recommended ahead of an unverified dealer just 0.7 miles from the seller — verified status outranks distance.
Connect WooCommerce once. Inventory stays honest.
AGT Sync registers over OAuth — no secrets pasted into WordPress. Map categories, publish simple products, and let sold guns write back to out of stock on the store you already run.
Mint a key. Hand the shop to an AI agent.
Settings → AI Assistant issues a scoped, revocable dealer key. The same key speaks REST, powers the official SDKs, and is what Claude or Cursor uses over MCP.
Blast a listing to 50 groups instead of 10
The Share to Groups tool caps a Basic account at 10 groups per send. Verified FFL accounts get 50 — 5x the reach on every listing you promote.

Frequently asked questions
What should you know about FFL Dealer Accounts?
This American Gun Trader marketing guide explains FFL Dealer Accounts for buyers, sellers, and dealers who want a commission-free classifieds workflow. We cover how free listings, moderated messaging, optional auctions, and FFL transfer resources fit together on one platform — without paywall listing fees on ordinary private sales. Buyers can browse live inventory nationwide, filter by category and location, and message sellers on-platform before arranging a lawful transfer through a licensed dealer when required. Sellers post accurate photos and condition notes at zero commission on private trades, with human review reducing spam patterns common on open classifieds. Federal and state transfer rules still apply; our how-to guides and state law library summarize what to verify before shipping or meeting in person. American Gun Trader connects parties but does not process firearm payments or transfers — you remain responsible for lawful compliance in your jurisdiction.
What's the difference between a free and Verified FFL account?
Both tiers list firearms free with zero commission on private sales. Verified FFL adds AGT Sync for WooCommerce, a dealer REST API with PHP and TypeScript SDKs, an AI agent (MCP), a dealer badge, priority ranking in the interstate-transfer FFL picker, and a higher bulk group-share limit (50 groups vs 10).
Can I sync my WooCommerce store?
Yes. Verified FFL dealers install AGT Sync for WooCommerce, connect over OAuth, map categories, and publish simple products automatically. A firearm sold on AGT marks the WooCommerce product out of stock, and the reverse is also true.
What is the dealer AI agent?
Verified FFL includes an MCP server plus API keys. You can point Claude, Cursor, or another agent at your shop so it lists, updates, restocks, and checks status using the same dealer API the WooCommerce plugin uses.
Is there a dealer API and SDK?
Yes. Verified FFL includes a versioned REST API, official PHP and TypeScript SDKs, scoped revocable keys, and no per-call fees. Use it for custom POS sync, scripts, or anything WooCommerce does not cover.
What are FFL Tools?
Verified FFL dealers get a bulk inventory dashboard with saved filter views, multi-select, and batch price, status, and promotion actions — alongside WooCommerce sync, API access, and an AI agent for automation.
How does the FFL transfer picker rank dealers?
When a buyer selects a receiving FFL for an interstate transfer, AGT-verified dealers are recommended first, ranked ahead of unverified FFLs even when an unverified option is geographically closer.
How long does FFL verification take?
Our team manually reviews submitted license details before granting verified status. Submit accurate, current license information to avoid delays.
Do I need to be verified to sell as a dealer?
No. Any account can post listings for free. Verification is optional. Shop tools (WooCommerce sync, API, AI agent), the dealer badge, and transfer-picker priority require a Verified FFL account.
