So I spoke with the CFP and was told my license has been issued and told I know hold restricted privileges, however my profile on the individual web services says non-restricted. Am I able to buy a handgun online with my new license number or do I have to wait until it says my profile has been updated to restricted?

Yup, you can buy, a new license will be printed when your firearm transfer is approved.

I thought so. However I literally just got a call back from the shop I tried to make a purchase through saying I could not purchase a restricted so I was given wrong info by the cfp

Yes, and my profile on individual web services says my RPAL has been issued.
