If you run an FFL, sell ammunition, manufacture products, operate a training company, or serve the 2A community in any way, you already know something most businesses never think about:

Payment processing is not neutral.

Banks have policies.
Processors have risk departments.
Gateways have restrictions.
Platforms change rules.

And most of them were not built with you in mind.



At EPIC Merchant Systems, we made a decision years ago.

We would not “also support” the firearms industry.

We would build a company specifically for it.

This Is Not a Vertical. This Is All We Do.

Most payment processors serve dozens of industries.

Restaurants.
Retail stores.
Ecommerce brands.
Salons.
Subscription businesses.
CBD companies.
Vape shops.

Firearms are just one category inside a massive portfolio.

If pressure increases, policies tighten, or political winds shift, that category can become expendable.

At EPIC Merchant Systems, firearms are not a category.

They are the mission.

We work exclusively with:

• Home-based FFLs
• Retail storefront FFLs
• Mobile FFLs
• Gun show dealers
• Online sellers
• GunBroker sellers
• Ammunition retailers
• Manufacturers
• 2A training companies
• Related businesses in the 2A ecosystem

This is our lane. We stay in it. We build in it. We protect it.

We Only Partner With Gun-Friendly Banks. Period.

This is where most processors fall apart.

They rely on general acquiring banks that:

• Allow firearms today
• Re-evaluate tomorrow
• Restrict certain product types
• Limit card-not-present transactions
• Quietly change underwriting standards

That creates uncertainty for your business.

We do not gamble with your stability.

We intentionally partner only with gun-friendly banks that understand this industry.

That means you can sell:

• In-store
• Online
• At gun shows
• On GunBroker
• Through invoices
• Through mobile terminals

Without wondering whether your processor is comfortable with your business model.

Built for How FFLs Actually Operate

You do not operate like a coffee shop.

You may run:

• A retail storefront
• A home-based transfer business
• A mobile operation
• A distributor-backed ecommerce model
• A hybrid of all of the above

Your payment provider should understand that complexity.

We support:

• Clover POS backed by gun-friendly banking
• Dejavoo and Valor terminals
• Tap to Pay mobile solutions
• Authorize.net and NMI gateways
• GunBroker integrations
• FastBound integration for compliance tracking

This is not generic retail processing.

This is infrastructure built specifically for FFL workflows.

Veteran-Owned. Active in the 2A Community.

We are not outsiders trying to monetize a niche.

EPIC Merchant Systems is Veteran-owned.

Leadership matters in industries that require strength and clarity.

We are active participants in the 2A community. You will find us at:

• SHOT Show
• NRA Annual Meeting
• GOA events
• National trade shows
• Industry conferences

We do not hide behind email support and call centers.

We show up.

We shake hands.

We build relationships.

That matters in this industry.

We Are Not Testing This Market. We Are Building the Financial Backbone of It.

There is a major difference between serving an industry and committing to it.

Many processors diversify across dozens of industries. That works for them.

But when pressure hits, they have options.

We do not pivot.

We do not rebrand.

We do not quietly move away from the 2A space.

This is our main effort.

We are building long-term financial infrastructure for:

• FFLs
• Ammunition retailers
• Manufacturers
• 2A ecommerce businesses
• Training companies
• Accessory brands

• Compliance expectations
