We offer gateway integration for Gunbroker Immediate Checkout, Gearfire, AmmoReady, Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, SquareSpace, Wix, Quickbooks, websites and many other FFL marketplaces.

Paypal, Square and Stripe prohibit the sale of guns, ammo and other related FFL items. If they determine that you used your account with them to accept payment for a gun or FFL related item, they will hold your funds for 6 months or permanently and close your account. We specialize in FFL related businesses and we work with banks that accept gun related transactions without holding your funds.

EPIC PLUS is an interchange plus pricing model designed for FFLs who prefer one price for all customers.

Pricing remains consistent whether the customer pays with cash or credit card. Card acceptance costs are built into the overall pricing of goods and services.

With EPIC PLUS, the business pays per transaction card processing costs and any applicable monthly fees as normal operating expenses.

Because pricing is the same for all customers, both cash and credit card customers share in the cost of accepting cards.

Some FFLs prefer EPIC PLUS for its simplicity and traditional pricing structure.

It offers one consistent price for all customers and treats card acceptance costs as a standard operating expense.

Most FFLs choose one of two primary pricing models offered by EPIC Merchant Systems: EPIC ZERO or EPIC PLUS.

Each model is designed to support different business preferences while maintaining transparency, compliance, and predictable margins, regardless of whether the FFL operates from a storefront, a range, a home-based location, events, or online sales.

Most accounts can be set up within one business day. Authorize.Net or website accounts can take additional time if certain required items are not listed on your website.

Yes, we provide tap-to-pay apps and mobile card readers that allow you to accept payments anywhere, supporting your business on the go.

EPIC is Veteran and family owned and operated. We founded EPIC to assist FFL related and Veteran-owned businesses in navigating the payment industry. 

Clover does not use banks that work with firearms related businesses and therefore will not allow you to set up a merchant account directly. 

We are able to utilize the Clover equipment while using our own FFL friendly banks. This allows us to give firearms and FFL-related businesses the ability to use Clover terminals and Clover POS equipment. Clover also gives you the ability to integrate with Fastbound.

Contact our team by phone or text at 1-888-350-0147 or by email at info@epicmerchantsystems.com to discuss your business needs, and we’ll guide you through selecting and setting up the best payment solution.

Most deposits arrive 2-3 business days after a sale is processed. Next day funding is also available to most businesses.

The processing fee on our EPIC Zero plan is 3.49%. If you are currently accepting cards, this fee can be reduced based on monthly volume and/or card acceptance method. Please contact us for more information.

EPIC ZERO uses a dual pricing framework. Customers are shown a cash price and a credit card price upfront and choose how they want to pay.

Customers who pay with a credit card cover the cost of card acceptance at checkout. Customers who pay with cash pay less.

This allows the business to accept credit cards without absorbing per transaction card acceptance costs.

With EPIC ZERO, the customer who chooses to pay with a credit card covers the cost of card acceptance.

The business owner does not pay per transaction card acceptance costs. The merchant only pays any applicable monthly fees if they exist.

This prevents cash customers from subsidizing card paying customers and they get a cash discount.

Many FFLs choose EPIC ZERO because it protects margins without raising base prices.

It provides transparent pricing, gives customers a clear choice at checkout, and removes per transaction card acceptance costs from the business.

Yes. While EPIC ZERO and EPIC PLUS cover the needs of most FFLs, EPIC Merchant Systems can also support other pricing models when requested.

These may include cash discount programs, surcharging where permitted by card brand rules and state law, tiered pricing, flat rate pricing, and card present versus card not present pricing.

These options are typically used in specific situations and are not commonly selected by most FFLs.
