WooCommerce FFL plugin comparison
Last checked: October 17, 2026. Published by FFL Bridge, which is one of the products compared. We have tried to be fair: every fact below links to the vendor's own public page, and where a vendor does not say something publicly, we say so. Spot an error? Email support@fflbridge.com and we will correct it.
All five tools add an FFL dealer selection step to WooCommerce checkout, and all five say they support both classic checkout and the WooCommerce Checkout Block. As of October 17, 2026, the clearest differences are price model, platforms and track record. FFL Bridge is the only one with a published $0 ongoing plan (100 API calls per day) and also offers a REST API and embeddable widget, but it is WooCommerce-only for plugins and is not yet listed on WordPress.org. Automatic FFL ($99/month per site) covers the most platforms. g-FFL Checkout ($15.99/month) has the largest WordPress.org install base of the five (700+). FFL Checkout by TTG is a flat $99.90 per site per year. CloudFFL is $29/month for 100,000 API calls with its plugins included.
Source keys like [S1] map to the Sources list at the bottom; each entry there gives the URL and the fetch date. All sources were fetched October 17, 2026. "Not stated publicly" means we could not find it on the vendor's public pages, not that the feature is missing.

The five products meter differently, so compare against your own traffic rather than the headline number. FFL Bridge allowances are per day, CloudFFL's is per month, TTG is flat per site per year, and Automatic FFL and g-FFL are flat per month. [S1][S22][S20][S11][S19]
Whatever you choose, test on a staging site and confirm dealer and shipping requirements yourself. No checkout plugin replaces your own compliance review, and this page is not legal advice.
As of October 17, 2026, FFL Bridge is the only one of these five whose public pricing lists an ongoing $0 plan: 100 API calls per day, hard stop, no card. Automatic FFL and CloudFFL offer free trials; g-FFL Checkout and TTG do not state a free plan. [S1][S11][S22][S19][S20]
Yes. All five vendors state support for both classic WooCommerce checkout and the block-based checkout. [S4][S12][S16][S20][S23]
Not yet. Install FFL Bridge for WooCommerce by downloading the ZIP from fflbridge.com, then in WordPress go to Plugins > Add New Plugin > Upload Plugin. The download page publishes the file's SHA-256 checksum. [S3]
Automatic FFL lists BigCommerce, Adobe Commerce/Magento, OroCommerce and a Shopify app that covers ammunition only. g-FFL Checkout and CloudFFL offer BigCommerce. FFL Bridge has no Shopify or BigCommerce app; custom storefronts can use its API, or its widget where the platform allows custom JavaScript. [S11][S14][S18][S26][S6]
Hybrid is the default for new installs of the FFL Bridge plugin. In Hybrid mode, dealers in FFL Bridge's verified checkout network are listed first as "Confirmed transfer dealer", and other nearby ATF-listed dealers can also be selected with a "License not verified" or "Transfer not confirmed" label; the shopper then gets instructions to confirm the transfer and have a license copy sent to the store. In Confirmed dealers only mode, only verified network dealers can be selected. Dealers that have told FFL Bridge they do not accept transfers are never shown. Existing installs keep their saved setting and see an offer to switch. [S4]
Automatic FFL, g-FFL Checkout and CloudFFL publicly document dealer exclusion or blocklists. FFL Bridge lets a store list preferred dealers first and offers a Confirmed dealers only mode, but does not publicly list a per-dealer exclusion setting. [S13][S17][S22][S4]
FFL Bridge: Free, then $15, $49 or $99 per month plus $0.005 per call over the daily allowance on server keys. Automatic FFL: from $99 per site per month. g-FFL Checkout: $15.99 per month for WooCommerce. FFL Checkout by TTG: $99.90 per site per year. CloudFFL: $29 per month for 100,000 API calls. Prices as published on October 17, 2026. [S1][S11][S19][S20][S22]
No plugin guarantees compliance. FFL Bridge's own readme says dealer results and labels "are not legal advice" and that you must confirm the receiving dealer and every applicable requirement before shipment. Ask your own counsel about your obligations. [S4]
