TacticalPay specializes in payment gateways for FFLs, gun dealers, and GunBroker sellers — the Authorize.net and NMI gateways your merchant account needs to accept cards online, in-store, or both.
Getting approved for payment processing shouldn't feel like a battle. We specialize in helping firearms merchants — from brick-and-mortar FFLs to shooting ranges to GunBroker sellers — get the right payment gateways and merchant accounts. The application is purpose-built for the industry, which means less back-and-forth and faster approvals, with transparent, competitive pricing from day one.
Whether you sell in-store, online, or both, TacticalPay has the payment gateway solutions and firearms-industry expertise to get you processing — so you can grow with confidence.
A firearms-compatible gateway connected to a merchant account built for your industry — add a terminal, a POS, or your website anytime on the same approval.
Connect the Authorize.net or NMI gateway to your website, cart, or virtual terminal, and sell on GunBroker or WooCommerce — where mainstream processors won't let firearms merchants operate at all.
The same firearms-friendly underwriting powers a countertop terminal, a mobile reader at the range or a gun show, or a keyed-in phone order — all tied to the gateway on your account.
Against mainstream gateways and general high-risk providers — built for firearms, not bolted on.
