A retail account that won't drop you.
Mainstream processors like Square and Stripe prohibit firearms — and even when a general high-risk provider takes you on, a routine review can freeze your funds mid-day. TacticalPay underwrites for firearms from the start, so the terminal at your counter keeps working, with transparent rates and a Texas team that answers the phone.
The right terminal. The right partner.
Chip, contactless, and swipe on a merchant account built for firearms — with the option to add a full POS or an online gateway on the same approval.
