Online checkout and payments for FFL dealers
Why mainstream processors decline firearm dealers, what a firearms-friendly processor looks like, and what checkout must handle.
Published 2026-10-04
Many mainstream payment processors and site builders restrict firearm sales in their terms. Building a store on one of them risks a frozen account the week sales pick up.
What checkout has to handle
- A processor that accepts firearms dealers.
- Collecting the receiving FFL for items that need a transfer.
- Sales tax by the right state: the receiving dealer’s for a transfer, the buyer’s for direct-ship items, yours for pickup.
- Address and card verification to cut fraud.
- Refunds and partial refunds that match your processor statement.
