If a voting machine can phone home, why can’t an electronic 4473 terminal?tk1700 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 09, 2022 5:28 pmThere are several companies that license software for gun stores. Ours is Merchant Magic. It writes a track in the bound book for every transaction of a serial numbered item, ie received in the store, sold, sent out for repair, returned to manufacturer, etc.Rex B wrote: ↑Mon Feb 07, 2022 8:16 pm tk1700, thanks for sharing that.
Questions:
What software system are you using for 4473s?
Is that (or is there) an industry standard, or are there other software packages for this purpose?
How does the system store the 4473s - a database, PDf, CSV etc. ?
Does it store information other than the 4473 - Photo ID scans for example?
Any other FFLs want to share your experience?
As I understand it, ATF has to approve the software before it can be used for firearms transactions. I don't know what all that entails nor do I want to know, lol!
They are stored as a PDF attached to the receipt for the transaction (sale or transfer). If we want to look at a 4473 from history we can find it with a serial number search or using the customers name and going to the receipt.
