Walkthrough

Scenarios

10 carts that end differently. Each one opens the demo checkout already loaded with the cart, the destination, the account type, and the sample ID it needs, so the whole path runs without any setup.

Simulated

Every scenario runs on seeded data. Identity checks use fictional sample documents, dealers are fictional, and no payment is taken.

Scenario 01

The order that started this

Three mounting accessories to a Eureka address.

Rails are mounting hardware: not a §30515(a) feature and not designed for manufacturing a firearm. Nothing in this order triggers the gate, so it ships USPS Priority the same day.

Scenario 02

AR parts under a conservative policy

Two AR-pattern parts to a Eureka address.

This policy routes AR-pattern parts through the gate until each SKU is reviewed, so the buyer sees the notice, attests, and verifies identity. The order clears and ships with an adult signature required.

Scenario 03

A barrel goes to the dealer

A PH3 barrel and a rail to a Eureka address.

SB 704 sends an unattached barrel to a California licensed dealer. The rail rides along in the same box because delivery to a dealer is exempt from the accessory requirements.

Scenario 04

Dealer account, same cart

The AR parts cart, billed to a licensed dealer in Sacramento.

Exempt

Licensed dealers, on-duty law enforcement, and licensed wholesalers are exempt from the accessory delivery requirements. The order ships direct and the exemption is written into the record.

Scenario 05

The customer moved

One AR part to Eureka, with an ID that still shows Arcata.

Held

The document verifies, but the address on the ID does not match the delivery address. Cleared holds the order and offers two ways out: ship to the address on the ID, or route to a dealer.

Scenario 06

Under 18

One AR part to Eureka, with a purchaser born in 2009.

The gate reads the date of birth off the document and the purchaser is 17. California requires 18 or older for these items, so the order stops before payment.

Scenario 07

Expired document

One AR part to Eureka, with a document that expired in 2024.

An expired document is not a failure, it is a retry: the gate asks for another document. Running the step again with a valid ID clears the order.

Scenario 08

Same cart, Idaho address

The AR parts cart to a Boise address.

AB-1263 applies to California destinations only. The identical cart ships direct to Idaho with no notice, no attestation, and no ID check.

Scenario 09

A stripped lower, any state

One SP223 Gen2 Billet Lower to a Boise address.

A stripped lower receiver is a firearm under federal law, whatever the destination. It transfers through a licensed dealer in every state, so Cleared routes it there.

Scenario 10

The two rifles

A PH3 and an Element Hunter to a Eureka address.

Complete firearms transfer through a licensed dealer everywhere, which is the one part of this flow retailers already have wired. This is how the rifles in this project actually shipped.
