Ship Restrict v1.0 Launch: Automate Your Firearms Shipping Compliance

After months of rigorous development and field-testing inside active firearms stores, Ship Restrict v1.0 is officially live.

Starting today you can install the plugin and eliminate the manual spreadsheet checks that slow down fulfillment and expose your business to costly compliance mistakes.

Why We Built Ship Restrict

Every FFL holder knows the pain: navigating an ever-changing patchwork of state, county, and municipal regulations just to get orders out the door.

Miss one new law and you could be staring at a five-figure fine, angry customers, and an inventory return nightmare. We built Ship Restrict so you never have to second-guess an address again.

What's New in v1.0

According to our changelog, v1.0 introduces a production-ready rule engine and an overhauled admin UI. Here's the highlight reel:

Key Features and Benefits

Fine-grained restrictions (state ➜ county ➜ city ➜ ZIP): Block non-compliant orders with surgical precision.
Bulk rule creation: Import hundreds of restriction rules in minutes—not hours.
Scheduled start/expiry dates: Set temporary bans that activate or sunset automatically.
Customizable checkout messaging: Reduce cart abandonment with clear, transparent error explanations.
Performance-optimized queries: Lightning-fast validation that keeps high-volume checkouts snappy.

"We've cut refunds by 92 % since installing the plugin. Best money we've spent on our WooCommerce store." — Sarah Pace, Native Gun
