[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Best Credit Card Processor for gunbroker?

Posted: 12/20/2017 6:23:50 PM EDT

Looking into setting up credit card processing for my gunbroker account. Got a quote, basically its ~20 bucks a month plus 2.2% on all transactions and another ~50cents or so in other fees per transaction. Wondering what others are using and also if anyone knows how hard it will be to set up instant checkout and which processor is the best for that. Thanks in advance!

if you get that, let me know. I am working with my cousin, and he just started a military clone business and was quoted 3.45% plus monthly fees, through Authorize.net, and he technically is not even selling firearms, just parts.

Look at Stripe. 2.9% and .30 cents, no other fees. Not sure how they feel about online gun sales, but I have a feeling they are okay with it.

Most all processors quote the above rate, but very few will deal with firearms or gun parts. Those which do, tend to charge a premium.

Look at the one offered by Kelly McMillan or the Payment Alliance (NRA recommended).

PAI has stupid high fees. I would also check out their subforum on FFLSOnly before contacting them.

Stripe has anti gun wording in their prohibited businesses section of their use contract. I would like to find a cc processor that is pro gun that is as cheap as stripe is.

What do you need to know? I called them they offered great rates, they explained everything in terms of "selling glocks" and was easy to deal with.

I'd have to read the contract if I am allowed to say, but they are lower than everyone else I have found, actually lower than my non gun business too... and I'm planning on moving that to them soon too.

I didnt like PAI (Alliance) they always had BS fee's in there. One time i had a portable card reader (gun shows)that went bad and i paid to have a new one overnighted to me for a gun show. They charged me $30 shipping and i got it a week later.

I would check bluedog or https://www.tsys.com/
