What to ask before you sign. How to compare bound books, payments, support, and total cost.
An FFL software buyer's guide should cover bound book and 4473 compliance, point of sale, payments, support location, total cost, and exit terms. Use this guide to compare vendors apples-to-apples.
The problem
One policy change away from offline.
Plenty of mainstream processors will happily sign up a gun store, then freeze or drop the account the moment a policy shifts. Losing the ability to take a card can shut a lawful business down overnight. You need a processor that was built for this industry on purpose.
What it does
Card processing, built for this industry.
2A-friendly processing
Card processing for in-store and online firearms sales.
Established partners
Backed by Woodforest Acceptance Solutions and Paysafe.
Recurring billing
