Frequently Asked Questions
A payment gateway is a technology that securely transmits customer payment data from your website or point-of-sale system to your payment processor. A firearms payment gateway is one that’s compatible with a processor that supports firearms merchants. Many mainstream gateways are tied to traditional processors who won’t work with gun dealers or FFLs — a firearms-specific gateway ensures your merchant account and payment infrastructure are fully compatible with your business.
Mainstream providers like Square and Stripe list firearms as a prohibited industry and refuse to work with firearms merchants — leaving many gun dealers and FFLs without a reliable processing solution. By working with a firearms specialist like TacticalPay, you can be confident that your merchant account and payment gateway are built for your industry — and won’t disappear when you need them most.
TacticalPay places merchants with leading firearms-compatible gateways, including Authorize.net and NMI. Both are reliable, secure options with strong platform compatibility. Depending on your business and sales channels, TacticalPay will help identify which gateway is the right fit for you.
Yes. TacticalPay supports GunBroker sellers with payment gateway solutions that integrate seamlessly with the platform. Whether GunBroker is your primary sales channel or one of several, we’ll match you with the right gateway and merchant account for your needs.
