Orchid is the leading provider of FFL software, regulatory compliance services, and 2A payment processing exclusively for the firearms industry
Orchid eBound is set apart with the only bound book that’s supported by an in-house compliance team and native electronic 4473 storage solution, eliminating the need for third-party integrations. With over a billion transactions processed and more than 50% of all U.S.-manufactured firearms flowing through Orchid eBound, we’ve become the trusted partner for thousands of FFLs. Unlike some other providers, which rely on third-party compliance and digital storage partners to complete their solution, Orchid provides FFLs with a comprehensive A&D solution, backed by a 100% ATF revocation defense guarantee*. And, unlike some of our bound book competitors, no Orchid eBound client has ever faced a revocation hearing because of our software.
