Orion Wholesale API Integration
for FFL Dealers
Connect Orion Wholesale (orionwholesale.com) to your dealer workflow through FirearmDistributors.com. We handle the API plumbing so your team works in one dashboard, not 20 portals.
Orion is one of the most handgun-heavy catalogs we carry. Semi-auto pistols are close to 19 percent of the roughly 15,400 Orion SKUs in our catalog, and once revolvers and the rest of the handgun categories are counted, handguns are better than a quarter of everything Orion lists. Bolt-action rifles are a distant second at 9 percent. Average cost is about $519 and nearly 40 percent of the catalog is $500 or more.
One thing worth knowing about the integration, because it affects what you can trust: Orion’s own catalog API returns no quantities at all, every product comes back as zero. Real stock comes from a separate file Orion refreshes roughly every fifteen minutes, and that file is what our sync reads. If you build against Orion directly rather than through us, plan for that.
About 14 percent of the Orion catalog is exclusive to them in our system. The rest can be priced against nineteen other distributors on the same UPC, which on a catalog this firearm-heavy is where the comparison pays.

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 Orion Wholesale 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 Orion Wholesale dealer credentials once, and the platform takes it from there.
