Electronic 4473 cost: what your quote should include

There is no public e4473 price list. Pricing is tailored to your store's size, locations, transfer workflow, and the parts of Bravo Store Systems you use. To compare quotes fairly, count the point of sale, electronic 4473, A&D Book, storage, setup, support, and the staff time required to keep separate systems matched. This guide shows what belongs in that comparison and how to get a firm number for your shop.

How to get an exact e4473 price

Your quote depends on your store rather than a public tier. The Bravo team will ask about your locations, transfer volume, current point of sale, and whether you are moving from paper or another electronic system. A short product walkthrough gives them enough context to prepare tailored pricing. For more detail on the quote process, see how e4473 pricing works.

Add up every part of the setup

A standalone 4473 subscription does not run alone. You may also pay for the point of sale it connects to, storage, implementation, or integrations. Then there is staff time that may not appear on an invoice. Use the free Paper 4473 Cost Calculator to put your own transfer volume and labor cost into the baseline.

  • The point of sale subscription the bolt-on tool depends on.
  • The separate 4473 and bound book license itself.
  • Long-term storage of your 4473s, frequently an add-on or a third party.
  • Staff time spent entering the same customer and firearm details twice, on every transfer.
  • The hours spent reconciling two systems before an inspection to make sure they still agree.
  • Two support contracts, and the delay when a problem falls between them.

One system, one bill, one number to call

e4473 is included in the Bravo Store Systems point of sale, so the electronic 4473, NICS, your A&D Book, and long-term cloud storage are part of one system with no separate 4473 license to buy. You are not adding a compliance tool to a register. The register already has it.

Comparison reflects the integrated-system vs. bolt-on approach; competitor pricing and packaging vary and change over time.

Count the work between separate records

When the 4473 lives in a different system than the sale, staff must keep the customer, firearm, and disposition details matched. That takes time before an inspection and creates another place for a discrepancy to appear. A shared record does not guarantee a clean inspection, but it removes the re-keying and system-to-system reconciliation from this part of the workflow.

The bottom line

Compare the same requirements on every quote: point of sale, electronic 4473, A&D Book, storage, setup, support, and staff time. e4473 includes the 4473, NICS workflow, A&D Book, and permanent encrypted cloud storage within Bravo Store Systems and is backed by Bravo's 100% ATF compliance guarantee.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is e4473 cheaper than FastBound?

The honest answer depends on what you count. A bolt-on tool is generally priced on top of a separate point of sale, plus storage and the staff time to keep two systems in sync. e4473 includes the 4473, NICS, the A&D Book, and cloud storage in the Bravo Store Systems point of sale, so the comparison is one bill against several. For exact pricing for your shop, request a demo.

Does e4473 charge a separate fee for the electronic 4473?

No. The electronic ATF Form 4473 is part of the Bravo Store Systems point of sale, so there is no separate 4473 license to buy on top of your register.

Is long-term 4473 storage an extra cost?

No. Permanent, encrypted cloud storage with a restricted ATF audit portal is part of e4473, rather than an add-on or a third-party service you contract separately.

What is the cost of double entry with a bolt-on setup?

It is staff time on every transfer plus audit risk. Entering the same customer and firearm details into two systems is slow at the counter and creates a chance for the records to disagree, which is a common source of inspection findings. With one record, there is nothing to re-key or reconcile.
