// Why FFLs choose it

Everything you need to take a card. Nothing to carry.

The contactless hardware is already in your phone. Tap turns it into a firearms-friendly register.

Your phone is the terminal

No hardware to buy — Tap uses the contactless reader already built into your iPhone or Android. Nothing to charge, nothing to leave behind at a gun show.

Every contactless way they pay

Contactless only, and that's the point: tap cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, digital wallets, and wearables. If a customer can tap it, you can take it.

Sell anywhere you have signal

The counter, the range, a table at a show, the parking lot after a class. Same rates, same account, no second setup.

Your customers' data stays protected

TacticalPay Tap is PCI-DSS compliant, and no card data is stored on your device or on external servers. The sensitive part never lives on your phone.

Firearms-friendly by default

Square, Stripe, and PayPal refuse to work with firearms merchants, and plenty of FFLs have found that out mid-season. We underwrite firearms businesses on purpose.

One flat monthly rate

$69/mo, all-in. No tiers, no custom quote, no surprise line items on the statement.

No hardware. Just the app on the phone you already carry.

Download the app, sign in to your TacticalPay account, and take the first tap in minutes.

Why Tap
The whole counter, in your pocket.

Do I need a card reader, and which phones work?

No card reader — Tap uses the contactless hardware already built into your phone. It runs on iPhone (iOS 16.0 or later) and any NFC-capable Android; check the Play Store listing for current device requirements.

Can I just download the app and start taking payments?

You can download the app for free, but taking payments takes one more step. Add Tap to your cart and complete a short application. Once you're approved, we send you a one-time activation code that turns on payments in the app — approval usually lands within 24 to 72 hours.

Can I use it at gun shows and events?

Yes. That is what it is best at. You need a data connection, nothing else.

Is my customers' card data safe?

Yes. TacticalPay Tap is PCI-DSS compliant, and no card data is stored on your device or on external servers.

What is the $29?

Your software license, onboarding, and support. One time, not monthly.

What does processing cost?

TacticalPay uses simple, transparent per-transaction pricing: • In-person standard cards: 2.6% + $0.30 per transaction • Card-not-present and premium cards*: 3.5% + $0.30 per transaction *Premium cards include American Express and select business, corporate, rewards, and international cards.

Can I use Tap alongside a terminal?

Yes. Plenty of shops run Tap on the floor and a T1 at the counter on the same merchant account.

I recently went to all electronic. POS, FFL Books, Fingerprints, etc. It has been a challenge for me but Rich with tactical pay has been a real asset. He always has time and gets me going asap. Thanks Rich and Tactical Pay.
