What Orchid Does With This File
Unlike GunBroker, Guns.com is NOT a traditional migration - Orchid has built a bi-directional 'sync' button that is used one-time, just prior to go-live, to reconcile your active Guns.com listings with your Orchid POS inventory. The customer action here is minimal: confirm your Guns.com seller account credentials and a list of active SKUs so Orchid can run the sync.
Required File Format
Excel (.xlsx) or CSV - one row per active listing (lightweight - confirmation only)
Required Fields
- Guns.com Listing ID (or SKU)
- Listing Title
- UPC (must match your Inventory export)
- Manufacturer Part Number
- Serial Number (if serialized)
- Current Price
- Quantity Available
- Notes
Reconciliation Rules
- UPC MUST match Inventory. The Guns.com sync reconciles inventory between Guns.com and Orchid POS based on UPC.
- For firearm listings, Serial Number MUST appear in A&D Bound Book Open Inventory.
Before You Start
- Confirm with your Orchid consultant: this is a sync, not a migration. The 'export' here is mainly for verification - Orchid pulls the live state from Guns.com at cutover via API.
- Make sure your Guns.com seller account credentials are available to your Orchid consultant (or that you can sign in yourself when prompted at sync time).
How to Export from Your Current System
Guns.com Seller Dashboard
Sign in to your Guns.com seller account. Go to your Active Listings view. Export to CSV if available, or screenshot the list as a backup. Most of the heavy lifting is done by Orchid's sync, not a manual export.
Watch Out For
- Per the spec: 'Guns.com is not migrated. We have developed a bi-directional sync button that is used one-time, just prior to go-live.' Treat this as a verification step, not a migration.
- Mismatches between your Guns.com listings and your Orchid POS inventory are surfaced by the sync tool - your consultant will walk you through resolving them at cutover.
- Post-cutover, Orchid does NOT continuously sync with Guns.com (unlike the ongoing GunBroker API integration). You'll continue managing Guns.com listings directly in the Guns.com seller dashboard, with manual inventory updates as needed.
