Hartford, CT — [December 16, 2025] — Orchid, the firearms industry’s leading provider of FFL technology, compliance, payments, and education, today announced the release of automated support for the New York State P12 Handgun Form, commonly referred to as the “Dealer Transaction Slip.” The new functionality enables New York firearms dealers to streamline and simplify state and county-level handgun compliance within Orchid POS.

“The release of the automated Orchid POS P12 Dealer Transaction Slip is another meaningful step in helping our clients automate retail firearms compliance,” said Philip Milks, Attorney and Senior Vice President of Orchid’s Regulatory Compliance Practice. “By streamlining the creation of this required New York form and reducing manual entry, dealers can focus more on serving customers and less on paperwork, while maintaining the highest standards of compliance and record accuracy.”

The New York P12 form is mandatory for all handgun receipts and dispositions across the state. Although formatting and submission procedures vary by county, the P12 is traditionally a 3” x 3” form identifying the firearm, the transaction type, and the involved parties.

With this update, Orchid POS now automatically generates the required form at the appropriate step in the workflow. Dealers may print the P12 on standard paper sizes or leverage Orchid’s recommended integration to a compatible 3” x 3” printer and card stock for maximum efficiency and time savings.

Key Features Include:

• Automated P12 Form Generation for all handgun acquisitions and dispositions— including sales, trades, consignments, gunsmithing work orders, and transfers.
• Smart Auto-Population of firearm, customer, and vendor data to minimize manual entry and reduce compliance risk.
• Configurable Print Options supporting both single-form and four-form layouts.
• Centralized Access to view, search, reprint, and bulk-print P12 forms from a unified menu inside Orchid POS.
