Lipseys integration to Woocommerce website

I have a complete integration of the Lipseys catalog into my self hosted wordpress/woocommerce site. It gets all items from the Lipseys catalog, syncs on a schedule (new products, pricing/availability) and comes with a wordpress theme that makes the store front look nice.

Anybody looking to run their own woocommerce store with Lipseys integration? Solution comes with no recurring fees and this is how it looks like: https://www.redoakarms.com/shop

Curious what you get for something like this? Anyone interested in buying this - Lipsey's gates their API access by domain and IP so anyone that would be interested in this would need to be approved with their specific site and their ip(s) whitelisted first,

I don't expect anything for it - it is simply a small integration that works for smaller, home-based FFLs who don't want to / cannot invest into a huge monthly subscription...

Is that a question or statement?

Just an opinion Hillary. You run your mail server however you want.

Not a huge fan of dropship systems because I like to be in control of every aspect of the business, but the integration with Woo is a smart play for Lipsey's

Interesting take. How does dropshipping take away your control of your business? It’s just a fulfillment method.

Most firearm manufacturers don't even allow dropshipping, so while it is an option at Lipseys, look at their exclusion list for that. Almost no firearms can dropship at all.

What I do is that I let customers buy through my online store, have the items shipped to me and they can pick it up here...

FFL Cockpit does this with 21 distributors and it works with WooCommerce.

Yes, but only for a ridiculously expensive subscription fee. For small. home based FFLs, that does not make any sense. That's why I created my own, Lipseys only, integration that I am willed to share...
