Steve Kelly • February 1, 2025

Effortless Payments for Gun Shows, Firearms Instruction, and Range Time

If you’re a home-based FFL, you already know that flexibility is key. Whether you're selling at gun shows, providing firearms instruction, or managing range time transactions, you need a payment solution that works as hard as you do—without unnecessary complexity or high costs. That’s where EPIC ZERO and SwipeSimple from EPIC Merchant Systems come in.


Why Home-Based FFLs Need a Reliable, Simple Payment Solution



For many home-based FFLs, a traditional point-of-sale (POS) system is overkill. You’re not running a brick-and-mortar store with a high volume of daily transactions, but you do need a secure, efficient way to accept payments—especially when you're on the go. Whether you're handling a few transactions a week or setting up shop at a gun show, EPIC ZERO and SwipeSimple deliver the perfect balance of affordability, ease of use, and reliability.
