However, securing a reliable gun merchant account can be challenging, as most payment processors classify firearm businesses as high-risk and refuse to work with gun dealers. This limits the number of payment options available to online customers and can negatively impact your bottom line.

Benefits of a Gun Merchant Account with High Risk Pay
Unbeatable Service
We have partnered with leading gun-friendly credit card processors in the United States to ensure reliable service with no interruptions, payout freezes, or payment-related issues that could impact your business.
High Risk Pay understands the unique challenges firearm merchants face when securing payment processing. Many providers refuse to work with gun-related businesses due to regulatory concerns, chargeback risks, and industry restrictions. We specialize in firearm merchant accounts, ensuring your business receives the support it needs to operate smoothly.
Competitive Pricing and High-Volume Processing
Most high-risk merchants in industries like firearms and ammunition face excessive payment fees. However, our long-standing experience in the industry allows us to offer competitive pricing, helping you keep costs low and pass savings on to your customers.
Firearm sales often involve high-ticket transactions, with average gun prices ranging from $800 to $1,400. Many payment processors classify these sales as high-risk due to their value. Our system is optimized for high-volume gun transactions, ensuring smooth payment processing for large orders.
Comprehensive Fraud and Chargeback Protection
Firearm businesses are at a higher risk of credit card fraud and chargebacks due to the nature of the industry. Illegal purchases, fraudulent credit card use, and customers disputing high-ticket transactions contribute to these risks.
At High Risk Pay, we provide firearm merchant accounts with built-in fraud protection and chargeback prevention systems. These safeguards help reduce potential losses and ensure smoother transactions.
Multiple Gun Merchant Account Processing Options
We support a wide range of firearm-related businesses, including:
- Retail firearm stores
- Online gun merchants, including e-commerce and mobile apps
- Ammunition and accessory dealers
- Firearm distributors and resellers
- Manufacturers and licensed firearm vendors
Regardless of your business model, we help you navigate the legal complexities and secure a stable payment processing solution.
Simplified Application and Compliance Support
Many payment providers require extensive documentation, high fees, or refuse to work with firearm businesses altogether. We make the application process simple, with no setup fees, no long-term contracts, and a 99% approval rate.
Legal compliance is a key concern for firearm merchants, as gun sales require a Federal Firearms License (FFL) and adherence to state-specific laws. Our team understands these challenges and ensures your payment processing solution aligns with federal and state regulations.

Firearm Industry Frequently Asked Questions
Why are firearm merchants and businesses considered high risk by payment processors?
Firearm businesses are classified as high risk due to strict regulations, chargeback risks, and fraud concerns. Many traditional payment processors avoid working with firearm merchants due to legal complexities and increased scrutiny from financial institutions. High Risk Pay specializes in providing secure, compliant gun merchant accounts to help businesses operate without payment disruptions.
Can I use PayPal, Square, or Stripe to process firearm sales?
No, PayPal, Square, and Stripe do not support firearm transactions due to their low-risk business model. These platforms often suspend or terminate accounts processing firearm-related sales. To ensure long-term stability, a dedicated firearm merchant account from High Risk Pay is the best solution for secure and compliant payment processing.
What types of firearm businesses qualify for a gun merchant account?
High Risk Pay supports a wide range of firearm-related businesses, including FFL dealers, gun shops, online firearm retailers, ammunition sellers, and firearm training courses.
