We all know that cash is king, but plastic is most prevalent. It doesn’t matter if you’re only doing a handful of internet sale gun transfers on a table in your garage or if you’ve got a full-blow, brick-and-mortar store doing a brisk business. These days, if you don’t accept credit cards, you’re literally leaving money on the table. This is where gun friendly merchant credit card processing comes into picture.
We polled our FFL123 members, and they reported back that they saw an average of a 30% increase in sales when they started taking credit cards, especially when set up at gun shows. Sure, there are ATMs at most shows, but it’s a lot easier as a customer to just swipe a card at the table than to go to the ATM and pay them for the privilege of accessing your own money. Remember to be sure to post a small sign at the show on your table showing you take plastic, as some dealers don’t, and that could be the difference between making a sale or not.
Unfortunately, more and more credit card processing companies have ceased accepting merchants who sell firearms. In fact, the vast majority of them won’t do it anymore. Popular companies like Square, Stripe, and PayPal all have policies preventing their use for our kind of business. That means you will need to find a gun friendly merchant services provider.
