Serial Number Audits
A serial number audit is a physical inventory count of your firearms. You go to each firearm in your shop, scan or read its serial number, and the system compares what you scanned against what your records say you should have. This is the most thorough way to ...

What is an FFL Vendor?
When you buy firearms from a distributor or another dealer, that seller is your FFL vendor — a business that holds a Federal Firearms License and is authorized to transfer firearms to you as a licensee. Examples include Lipsey's, RSR Group, Davidson's, Sports ...
Adding a New FFL Vendor (Step by Step)
Adding a new FFL vendor to CloudFFL takes just a few steps. The FFL Lookup feature connects directly to FastBound, which looks up the dealer in the ATF database and automatically fills in their address, license name, and contact information — you only need to ...

FFL Lookup from a Purchase Order

Selling a Firearm at the Counter (POS)

Dealer Transfer Out (FFL to FFL)
When you sell a firearm to another licensed dealer rather than a private customer, the transaction is a dealer-to-dealer transfer. This type of disposition follows a different process than a standard retail sale: no Form 4473 is required when both parties hold...
Logging a Theft or Loss Disposition
A theft or loss disposition removes a firearm from your bound book when it is no longer in your possession due to theft or an unexplained disappearance. This is not a sale — no money changes hands — but it is still a disposition because the firearm has left yo...
Pulling Pending 4473 Orders from FastBound
Sometimes a 4473 process is started in FastBound outside of CloudFFL — for example, if a disposition was created manually in FastBound, or if a customer began a 4473 on a previous visit before a Sales Order was created. The Pull 4473 Orders wizard imports thos...
