Firearms & Ammunition Merchant Processing

Firearms & Ammunition Payment Processing Solutions

The firearms industry generates over $28 billion in annual sales in the United States, but gun shops and ammunition dealers face significant payment processing challenges due to banking restrictions, regulatory compliance requirements, and social stigma. Following Operation Choke Point and continued banking hesitancy, many firearms dealers struggle to find reliable payment processing. HighRiskChamps provides specialized merchant processing solutions designed specifically for FFL holders, gun shops, ammunition retailers, and firearms accessories businesses.

Why Firearms Are Considered High-Risk

Firearms and ammunition businesses encounter unique payment processing challenges:

• Banking Restrictions: Many banks refuse firearms businesses due to reputational risk concerns
• Operation Choke Point Legacy: Lasting impact from federal program targeting firearms businesses
• FFL Compliance: Federal Firearms License requirements and ATF regulations
• Age Verification: Strict age restrictions (18+ for rifles/shotguns, 21+ for handguns)
• Background Checks: NICS background check requirements for firearm sales
• State-by-State Regulations: Varying state laws affecting online ammunition and firearms sales
• Processor Limitations: Payment restrictions on certain firearms categories and accessories
