Layaways & Deposits

Scenario #1 – A customer walks into your gun store and wants to buy a gun, but wants to put it on layaway until such time as they have enough to pay for the entire purchase, and you have them complete a 4473 and run their background check.

Scenario #2 – A really good customer who has a good purchase history with you walks into your gun store and wants to buy a very expensive and rare gun, so you tell the customer they need to leave a deposit to “hold” the specific serial number until such time as the customer can return, pay for it, complete a 4473, and have their background check run.

Can your current system(s) handle either or both of these scenarios? Well, FFLAssist can handle both these scenarios with ease. FFLAssist is not just a compliance system. Since it is a full ERP system, layaways and deposits are native functionality.

As a dealer, you simply create a Sales Invoice and determine on a percentage basis how much you want the customer to put down. You then book the Sales Invoice. The system responds by creating a “Prepaid Sales Invoice” to print and give to the customer, showing the total invoice amount, the down payment amount, and the net amount remaining.

The best part of this entire native functionality is that FFLAssist will not let you ship or hand over any firearm until the balance is paid in full, Form 4473s have been completed and certified, and background checks have been conducted.
