The Features You Need. Built For Firearms Merchants.
The right merchant account. The right partner. Everything you need, in one place.
Firearms-Friendly
Traditional processors like Stripe and Square won’t work with firearms merchants. TacticalPay works exclusively with banks that support the firearms industry — so you get a stable, long-term account without the runaround.
Transparent Pricing
No hidden markups. No confusing rate structures. We offer clear, straightforward pricing — so you always know exactly what you’re paying and why.
Fast & Easy Application
Our application is purpose-built for firearms merchants. Expert underwriting, typically completed in 24 to 72 hours, keeps the process simple — so you can start processing payments without the wait.
Built-In Security & Fraud Protection
Every merchant account includes built-in fraud filters, protecting your business and your customers from the moment the first transaction goes through.
Sell Anywhere
In-store, online, or on GunBroker — we support a wide range of POS systems, plus eCommerce platforms like WooCommerce. Wherever you sell, we’ll work with your setup.
ATF Compliance Ready
Already using FastBound or another compliance platform? Keep using it. Our merchant accounts are designed to work alongside the ATF compliance tools your business already relies on.
Accept More Payment Types
Our merchant accounts support ACH bank transfers and other modern payment methods — giving your customers more ways to pay.
Industry Expertise
Firearms payments is our sole focus — and we’ve been doing it for over a decade. We know the regulations, the workflows, and the specific needs of FFLs — better than any other processor.
Texas-Based Support
When you call or email, you’ll reach our in-house team — knowledgeable people who understand firearms payment processing. No third-party call centers, no runaround.
