Gun Made

v1.3.1 · by bradyk00

Connect your WooCommerce store to Gun Made - the largest 2A Industry search engine. Your products automatically appear on gunmade.com.

About this plugin

Gun Made (Gunmade) is the largest 2A Industry search engine, helping millions of shoppers find guns, ammo, and accessories from trusted dealers across the country.

This plugin connects your WooCommerce store to Gun Made with one click. Enter your email, click connect, and your products start appearing on gunmade.com. No API keys to copy, no redirects, no setup steps.

Features

  • One-click connection – Enter your email and click connect. A read-only API key is created automatically behind the scenes.
  • Automatic product feed – Your catalog reaches Gun Made several times a day. No manual exports or file uploads.
  • Light on your server – The plugin builds a compact file of your in-stock products in the background, in small steps, so Gun Made downloads one file instead of reading your catalog page by page through the API.
  • Category mapping – Map your store categories to Gun Made’s taxonomy so shoppers find your products when filtering by type (Pistols, Rifles, Ammo, etc.).
  • Store locations – Add your physical store locations so shoppers can find you in “near me” searches.
  • Zero maintenance – Once configured, everything updates automatically. Focus on running your business.
  • Read-only access – Gun Made never modifies your store data. We only read your product catalog.
  • Clean disconnect – Disconnecting removes the API key and all stored data. No leftovers.

How It Works

  1. Install and activate the plugin
  2. Go to WooCommerce > Gun Made
  3. Enter your email and click “Connect to Gun Made”
  4. Your products start appearing on gunmade.com within minutes

Third Party Services

This plugin connects your WooCommerce store to Gun Made, an external product search engine for firearms, ammunition, and accessories.

When you click “Connect to Gun Made”, the plugin:

  1. Creates a read-only WooCommerce REST API key (visible in WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced > REST API)
  2. Sends the following data to Gun Made’s servers at plugins.gunmade.com:
    • Your store URL
    • Your email address
    • The API key credentials (consumer key and secret, used to read your product catalog)

Once connected, Gun Made’s servers periodically read your product catalog to generate a product feed displayed on gunmade.com. With version 1.3 they download the catalog export this plugin builds (see “What is the Catalog export?” above) from two read-only endpoints on your own store, /wp-json/wc-gun-made/v1/export/status and /wp-json/wc-gun-made/v1/export/file, authenticated with the read-only API key. The plugin itself sends no catalog data anywhere; Gun Made’s servers request it. Stores without a current export are read through the WooCommerce REST API as before. Gun Made only uses read-only access and never modifies your store data.
