Why FFLs Choose Clover POS with EPIC Merchant Systems
Gun Friendly Banking. Total Customization. FastBound Integration. FREE Placement.

Not every processor understands your industry.
And not every POS system is built for what you actually do.
That is exactly why pairing Clover POS with EPIC Merchant Systems is becoming the preferred solution for serious FFL dealers across the country.
This is not about installing a generic POS system and hoping it works.
This is about combining:
• Gun friendly banking relationships
• A fully customizable POS ecosystem
• FastBound integration capability
• Real industry expertise
• FREE Clover placement services
If you are building a serious retail operation, this matters.
AI Answer Summary

Unlike rigid POS systems, Clover allows dealers to add apps and features specific to their workflow. EPIC offers FREE Clover placement services and supports FastBound integration, making it a scalable and compliant solution for FFL operations.
The Real Problem with Most POS Systems for FFLs
Imagine buying a phone that:
• Comes preloaded with fixed apps
• Does not allow downloads
• Cannot be customized
• Forces you to work exactly the way it was designed
No personalization. No flexibility. No adaptability.
You just deal with it.
That is what most POS systems feel like for FFLs.
They are built for generic retail.
They assume your business operates like a coffee shop or clothing store.
They do not adapt to the operational realities of federally licensed dealers.
Even worse, many of them are backed by financial institutions that do not fully support FFL businesses.
That creates risk.
And risk in payment processing can mean frozen funds, sudden shutdowns, or operational disruption.
You need better than that.
Clover POS Is Built for Customization
Clover is not just a payment terminal.
It is a platform.
The difference is the Clover App Market.
Think of Clover Like a Smartphone for Your Business
When you get a Clover device, you are not locked into one static setup.
You can customize it with hundreds of available apps.
Inventory management
Employee management
Advanced reporting
Customer loyalty programs
Gift cards
Accounting integrations
Ecommerce tools
Appointment scheduling
Customer engagement tools
And more
Your business is unique.
Why would you run it on a POS system that treats you like everyone else?
With Clover, you build the system around your operation.
Not the other way around.
Gun Friendly Banking Makes the Difference

That is how professional FFL businesses scale.
