Hicks Inc API Integration
for FFL Dealers
Connect Hicks Inc to your dealer workflow through FirearmDistributors.com. We handle the API plumbing so your team works in one dashboard, not 20 portals.
First, the name. Hicks Inc is a different company from Bill Hicks and Co. Both are on our platform and the catalogs overlap very little.
Hicks Inc is a hunting and outdoor accessories house. Of the Hicks Inc SKUs in our catalog that carry a category, about a third are hunting accessories, and freshwater fishing baits and lures sit in the top seven alongside handguns. Average cost is around $132 and 70 percent of the catalog is under $50.
Roughly 70 percent of the Hicks Inc catalog is carried by no other distributor in our system, among the highest of any feed we run. For a dealer, that means this account adds breadth rather than a second price on things you already source. GSM Outdoors, Power Custom, Taurus and Great Lakes Firearms are among the heaviest brands by SKU count.

FirearmDistributors.com handles the API integration for you
FirearmDistributors.com is a SaaS platform built for FFL dealers. We are not a distributor and we are not selling raw API access. We are the layer that sits on top of Hicks Inc and 20 other distributor APIs and turns them into one searchable, comparable, alert-driven dashboard.
You do not write any code. You do not parse XML, debug FTP connections, or maintain SOAP envelopes. You log in, enter your Hicks Inc dealer credentials once, and the platform takes it from there.
