EPIC Merchant Systems: We're Not for Everyone, and That's Okay

“Empowering Home-Based and Growing FFLs with Tailored Payment Solutions”

At EPIC Merchant Systems, we know we're not for everyone—and we're completely fine with that. Unlike the big payment processing companies that aim to be everything to everyone, that's not what we're about. Our focus is clear: we proudly serve home-based, retail, and online FFLs, firearms instructors, and similar businesses that share our values.


Many of our clients started small, operating from their homes, turning their part-time passion into a full-time, thriving business. Unfortunately, these home-based FFLs are often overlooked by larger payment processors, who either refuse to work with them or offer overpriced, unnecessary services. We see things differently. We recognize the potential and dedication of these business owners, and we've tailored our solutions to fit their needs at every stage of their journey.


Tailored Payment Solutions for Every Stage


We offer several programs that empower home-based FFLs to accept payments both in person and online without forcing them to pay for features they don’t need—yet. Whether you're selling from your garage, a small shop, or your local gun show, our solutions scale with you. When the time comes to expand into a commercial storefront, we've got you covered with more comprehensive options like our Clover Point of Sale solutions.


Clover's POS systems integrate seamlessly with FASTBOUND, making compliance and inventory management easier than ever. With access to the Clover App Market, business owners can fully customize their systems to suit their needs rather than settling for cookie-cutter payment solutions that may not align with their business operations.


Your Business, Your Way


We understand that not everyone wants or needs the same setup. Think of it like an AR-15: some prefer a simple, no-frills setup with iron sights, while others want all the bells and whistles. Most business owners, however, find themselves somewhere in between. Our goal is to meet you where you are and provide the right tools to help your business grow without unnecessary complexity or costs.


Whether you're looking for a payment program that allows you to accept payments in your home shop, on the go, or you're ready to scale up to an established storefront with a customized POS system, EPIC Merchant Systems is here to help.


We may not be for everyone, but if you're looking for a payment processing partner that understands your business, values your passion, and offers flexible, scalable solutions—we might be the perfect fit for you.
