# Zanders

# Zanders Integration

Connect your FirearmCart store with Zanders for product import, dropship fulfillment (accessories to the customer, firearms to an FFL), and warehouse restock orders.

---

## Features

| Feature | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| **Product import** | Import products from the Zanders catalog, including multiple images, dimensions, MAP, and MSRP |
| **Inventory sync** | Hourly stock and dealer-cost updates |
| **Dropship orders** | Accessories ship to your customer; firearms ship to their chosen FFL |
| **Warehouse restock** | Items that cannot direct-ship (including state restrictions) go to your store on the main account |
| **Tracking sync** | Tracking numbers sync back to orders automatically |

---

## Prerequisites

Before connecting, you need **four** Zanders logins, none of them your website login:

- **Main** Direct Ship API account — ship-to-store / warehouse restock
- **Accessory** Direct Ship API account — consumer-direct non-firearms
- **Firearm** Direct Ship API account — serialized products to an FFL
- **FTP** login — used to download the product catalog

A valid FFL is required to dropship firearms. No IP whitelisting is required.

---

## Setting Up

1. Navigate to **Plugins > Marketplace**
2. Find **Zanders**
3. Click **Activate**
4. Enter all four logins.
5. Click **Activate Plugin**

All four logins are verified as part of activating. Once activated, an initial catalog sync starts automatically and a **Zanders** item appears in the sidebar under **Plugins**.

---

## Importing Products

1. Go to **Plugins > Zanders**
2. Search the catalog (name, SKU, UPC, manufacturer, or manufacturer number), or narrow it with the manufacturer and category filters
3. Use **Filters** to hide out-of-stock or already-imported products, or set a cost range
4. Select the products you want, then click **Import**
5. Set your **Markup %** and confirm

Imported products are added to your catalog as **drafts**. MAP is respected as a price floor.

---

## Dropship rules

- Accessories always ship to the customer. They cannot be forced to an FFL.
- Firearms ship to the customer's chosen FFL on the firearm account.
- If Zanders does not direct-ship an accessory to the customer's state (for example California), that fulfillment is rerouted to ship-to-store on the main account so you can forward the second leg.

---

## Tracking

Shipment tracking is polled automatically. Non-dropshippable (ship-to-store) fulfillments do not push tracking to the customer — enter the second-leg tracking when you ship from your warehouse.
