  1. Map the work. Bring a loan, buy, sale, or firearm transfer example. Ask which steps are included and which require another module.
  2. Scope the move. Confirm which records can transfer, what needs cleanup, how data will be checked, and what your team must do. Timing and any interruption depend on the plan agreed for your store.
  3. Plan training and support. Ask who handles onboarding, how your staff will train, and which support channels, hours, and escalation options apply. Get those expectations in writing.
  4. Compare the full cost. Review software, hardware, payments, optional modules, and onboarding alongside the starting price.

Questions and answers

Frequently asked questions

What is Bravo Store Systems?

Bravo brings point of sale, inventory, buying, selling, pawn loans and firearms recordkeeping into one cloud-based system for independent retailers. Founded in 2011, Bravo serves 3,300+ stores. Explore the workflows for your store type or talk with an expert about fit.

What kinds of stores does Bravo support?

Bravo serves pawn shops, licensed firearms dealers including eligible home-based FFL businesses, jewelry stores, and resale and consignment businesses. If your store combines several business types, tell us which workflows you need so we can confirm the right setup.

Is Bravo cloud-based?

Yes. Bravo is a cloud-based SaaS platform. Your data syncs automatically across registers, back-office computers, and mobile devices, and you can access reporting from anywhere with an internet connection. Bravo handles backups, security patching, and uptime so you do not need to maintain your own servers.

How long does it take to switch to Bravo?

Timing depends on your current system, available data exports, hardware, training needs and number of locations. Before committing to a date, review the migration scope, records to retain, responsibilities and cutover plan with Bravo's team. Do not assume every historical field or document can be imported.

Does Bravo handle ATF and firearms compliance?

Bravo includes electronic 4473, an electronic A&D book and firearms reporting workflows. These tools support recordkeeping; your business remains responsible for correct records and applicable requirements. Ask us to demonstrate the workflows relevant to your license and store.

Can Bravo run a multi-location business?

Bravo supports multi-location operations with shared reporting, inventory visibility and store-level permissions. Discuss your locations, transfer workflows and reporting requirements with our team to confirm the configuration.

Does Bravo lock me into buying its hardware?

Bravo works with supported, off-the-shelf equipment. Some existing computers, scanners and receipt printers may be reusable. Have the team confirm compatibility, payment-terminal requirements and any replacement costs before you commit.

How much does Bravo cost?

The Home FFL offer starts at $99 per month for eligible businesses. That is not a universal price for every store or configuration. Confirm eligibility, included features, implementation, hardware, payment-processing terms and optional products with our team. Other store configurations are quoted around their requirements.

What payment processors work with Bravo?

Bravo works with Worldpay, Fortis and Bluedog for integrated card processing. Confirm supported hardware, fees and account terms for your store. Credova is a financing option, not a card processor.
