EPIC Merchant Systems Partners with NMI to Deliver a Best in Class Payment Gateway for Firearms Businesses
A smarter, more compliant, GunBroker ready payment gateway backed by a veteran owned, Pro Second Amendment payments partner.
Firearms businesses operate under more scrutiny than almost any other industry. Your payment gateway is not just a piece of tech. It is a critical compliance layer that can either protect your business or put it at risk.
That is why EPIC Merchant Systems is proud to announce our partnership with NMI, one of the most trusted and firearms capable payment gateways in the industry.
This partnership gives EPIC clients access to a robust, scalable, and GunBroker ready gateway, backed by a payments provider that understands firearms, compliance, and the realities of running a Second Amendment business in today’s environment.
Why This Partnership Matters for Firearms Businesses
Not all payment gateways are created equal. And most were never built with firearms businesses in mind.
Gun stores, FFLs, ammo sellers, and firearms related businesses face:
- Higher underwriting scrutiny
- Platform restrictions and sudden policy changes
- Gateway shutdowns tied to acceptable use violations
- Frozen funds with little warning
- Ecommerce and marketplace specific risks
With NMI serving as a preferred payment gateway for GunBroker Immediate Checkout, EPIC clients gain access to infrastructure that aligns with marketplace requirements while reducing unnecessary payment risk.
The EPIC plus NMI partnership directly addresses these challenges by pairing the right gateway with the right merchant services strategy.
What Is NMI and Why It Matters
NMI, also known as Network Merchants, is a leading payment gateway trusted by processors and regulated industries nationwide.
For firearms businesses, NMI stands out because it offers:
- Advanced fraud and risk management tools
- Secure tokenization and PCI compliant architecture
- Support for in store, ecommerce, MOTO, and mobile transactions
- Scalability for single location dealers and multi location operations
- Flexible integrations with leading shopping carts and POS systems
Most importantly, NMI is a preferred payment gateway for GunBroker Immediate Checkout.
NMI as a Preferred Payment Gateway for GunBroker Immediate Checkout
If you sell on GunBroker, your payment gateway is not optional infrastructure. It is a requirement that affects whether buyers can complete transactions smoothly and whether sellers get paid without interruption.
NMI is a preferred payment gateway for GunBroker Immediate Checkout, making it a strong choice for sellers who want a seamless, compliant checkout experience on the largest online firearms marketplace.
GunBroker Immediate Checkout requires gateways that meet strict technical, security, and reliability standards. NMI consistently meets those requirements and is widely used by established GunBroker sellers across the country.
Through EPIC Merchant Systems, GunBroker sellers using NMI benefit from:
- Compatibility with GunBroker Immediate Checkout
- Faster, smoother buyer checkout experiences
- Reduced payment friction that can lead to higher completion rates
- Lower risk of transaction disruptions
- A gateway built to handle firearms related transaction flows
This matters because checkout friction costs sales, and unsupported gateways can lead to failed payments, account reviews, or marketplace limitations.
