Why EPIC Merchant Systems Is the Obvious 2A-Friendly Payment Provider for GunBroker Immediate Checkout

Seamless Immediate Checkout, Authorize.net Integration, and Unapologetic Support for Firearms Dealers


The Importance of Immediate Checkout on GunBroker


GunBroker.com is the world’s largest online auction platform dedicated to firearms, hunting, shooting sports, and related products. With an average of 7 million unique monthly visitors, more than 4 million registered users, and 80 percent repeat traffic, GunBroker is not just a marketplace. It is the backbone of online firearms commerce.


For sellers, speed and trust matter. That is exactly why GunBroker Immediate Checkout exists.

Immediate Checkout allows buyers to enter shipping details, FFL information, payment information, and applicable sales tax immediately after purchasing an item. This creates a faster, cleaner transaction for both buyers and sellers while reducing abandoned sales and payment delays.


To use Immediate Checkout, sellers must:

  • Accept credit cards through GunBroker’s Checkout system
  • Use a supported payment gateway
  • Have pre-determined shipping costs

That is where choosing the right payment provider becomes critical.


Why Payment Processing Matters More for FFL Dealers

Firearms dealers face challenges that most businesses never encounter. Many large processors either restrict firearm sales outright or quietly shut down accounts without warning.

FFL dealers need:

  • firearm-friendly merchant account
  • A processor that understands GunBroker requirements
  • Stable gateway integration
  • Direct access to real support when issues arise

Choosing the wrong provider can mean frozen funds, terminated accounts, or losing the ability to use Immediate Checkout entirely.


EPIC Merchant Systems Is Built for the Second Amendment

EPIC Merchant Systems is a veteran-owned, unapologetically Pro-2A merchant services company. We work with firearms dealers nationwide and understand the realities of operating in today’s payment environment.

We do not “tolerate” the firearms industry.
We 
support it.

Our mission is simple:

  • Protect lawful commerce
  • Defend constitutional rights
  • Provide reliable payment infrastructure for FFL dealers


EPIC Merchant Systems and GunBroker Immediate Checkout

GunBroker supports a limited number of payment gateways for Immediate Checkout. One of the preferred gateways is Authorize.net.

EPIC Merchant Systems uses Authorize.net as our preferred gateway, making us a natural fit for GunBroker sellers who want Immediate Checkout enabled.

  • Seamless Authorize.net integration
  • Compatibility with GunBroker Immediate Checkout
  • Payments deposited directly into your bank account

When a buyer completes a purchase using Immediate Checkout:

  • Funds flow directly through your payment gateway
  • EPIC does not hold your money
  • You remain in full control of refunds and customer communication

This is exactly how GunBroker designed the system to work.
