Navigating eCommerce platforms as a firearms or FFL-related business can be tricky – not all platforms treat firearm-related sales equally. For example, Shopify’s built-in gateway (Shopify Payments) restricts the sale of firearms and certain accessories under its Acceptable Use Policy. However, many compliant businesses still use Shopify successfully by integrating third-party, FFL-friendly payment gateways. We help you understand what’s allowed and ensure you stay within platform guidelines.
If you prefer more flexibility, self-hosted platforms like WooCommerce or Magento, as well as BigCommerce, generally allow more customization for FFL workflows, including checkout processes, dealer networks, and age verification. Our team provides expert guidance on choosing and configuring the right eCommerce setup to keep your business compliant, functional, and optimized for firearm sales.
Start accepting payments by following three simple steps:
Selling firearms online requires more than just a payment gateway – it demands strict compliance and strong risk controls. We help ensure your checkout process captures essential information, such as the buyer’s selected FFL dealer for shipment and required order notes, keeping your operation aligned with ATF requirements.
To protect your business from fraud and chargebacks, we provide advanced tools like AVS/CVV checks, velocity filters, PCI compliance support, and hands-on dispute assistance, all designed to keep your approval rates high and risk exposure low.
Transparent pricing, clear terms, and firearm-aware policies.
Approvals in days and processing built to last, no surprise “policy changes.”
We understand Immediate Checkout and gateway requirements for seamless settlement.
From POS hardware to eCommerce and mobile, plus training and ongoing PCI help.
