The wait is over. As of August 17th, Gearfire Point of Sale (GPOS) is now live, a cloud-based point-of-sale system built specifically for specialty outdoor retailers. GPOS enables serious retail capability, including fast checkout, accurate inventory, and industry-aware workflows, without the complexity of enterprise systems.
If you’ve been looking for a cloud-based POS that fits how your store actually operates, this is the one you’ve been waiting for.
What GPOS is
GPOS is a professional-grade point of sale designed specifically for FFL dealers and specialty shooting sports retailers. Gearfire built the platform around firearm transactions, inventory management, compliance requirements, and the daily needs of stores selling firearms, archery, fishing, and outdoor products.
Plans start at $149 per month, giving retailers an affordable way to manage sales and stay focused on their customers and business instead of their software.
It runs in the cloud, works out of the box, and is simple enough to master on day one. Every new setup includes one hour of live support, so you’re selling right away instead of spending your first week configuring software. Gearfire used more than a decade of experience serving FFL dealers to build a cloud-based POS that works for independent shops of all sizes.
What GPOS does
From the first sale, GPOS handles the day-to-day work of running a firearms counter:
- Point of Sale: An intuitive point of sale built for firearm retail keeps checkout fast, accurate, and effortless with every customer.
- Layaways, sales orders & trades: Handle the full range of firearm retail transactions in one place, with no workarounds or manual tracking.
- Inventory management: Track what’s on your shelves and manage serialized inventory with accuracy from receiving through sale.
- Purchasing & receiving: Bring product in and get it selling fast with a straightforward purchasing and receiving workflow.
- Master Product Catalog access: Add products in moments using Gearfire’s curated catalog, complete with shopper-ready descriptions and imagery.
- Transaction & inventory reporting: See clearly what’s selling and what’s in stock, so you can make confident buying decisions.
- Label printing & gift cards: Print labels in-house and offer gift cards to build loyalty and repeat business.
- Product & customer imports/exports: Move your data in and out with ease. Your information stays portable and always your own.
- Gunsmithing and work orders available: Manage firearm repairs and provide maintenance and repair on non-firearm items from intake to completion.
Built-in integrations
GPOS connects to the tools that keep a firearms business running, right out of the box:
- FastBound: A direct compliance connection that keeps your bound book accurate and audit-ready.
- Integrated credit card payments: Accept card payments right at the register, so checkout stays seamless and in one place.
- Gearfire eCommerce: Connect your counter to your online store so your inventory and sales stay in sync as you grow.
More integrations are on the way as the platform expands.
Who It’s For
GPOS is built for independent FFL dealers and specialty shooting sports retailers that want a capable cloud-based POS without the enterprise price tag or steep learning curve. It is designed for:
- Gun stores and FFL dealers: Manage firearm transactions, UPC-driven inventory, and daily counter sales with compliance-ready integrations.
- Archery retailers: Organize and sell bows, arrows, broadheads, accessories, and apparel for bowhunters, target archers, and outdoor enthusiasts.
- Hunting and camping retailers: Manage diverse product categories, including hunting equipment, camping gear, optics, and outdoor accessories.
- Outdoor apparel retailers: Sell tactical apparel, hunting and fishing clothing, branded merchandise, and everyday outdoor wear.
GPOS is a natural fit for retailers already in the Gearfire ecosystem. If you use Gearfire eCommerce, GPOS connects your online store with your physical counter so inventory and sales work together.
Why it matters
Most point of sale systems ask firearm retailers to make a trade: pay for an expensive, complicated platform loaded with features you’ll never use, or settle for generic software that wasn’t built with compliance or serialized inventory in mind. GPOS closes that gap. You get the essential tools to sell, manage inventory, and stay compliant, delivered in a system that’s ready to go from day one and priced to fit an independent shop.
The goal is simple: keep you focused on your customers and your business instead of your software.
