FFL Dealer or Firearms Instructor? Here’s the 2A-Friendly Payment Solution You’ve Been Waiting For

Steve Kelly • April 23, 2025

When Big Payment Companies Say No, EPIC Merchant Systems Says HELL YES.

Are you a home-based FFL, retail gun store, online dealer, or certified firearms instructor? You’re in the business of freedom — and it’s about time your payment processor acted like it.

At EPIC Merchant Systems, we understand the uphill battle you face just to run a legal, compliant business in today’s climate. Most processors either won’t work with you — or worse, they’ll shut you down without warning.

We’re different. We’re unapologetically Pro-2A, Veteran-owned, and proud to offer a full suite of payment tools built specifically for the firearms industry.


Who We Serve

Whether you’re working out of your home or managing a high-volume retail operation, we’ve got your six.
Here’s who we’re built to support:

  • 🔧 Home-Based FFLs – Flexible mobile and countertop setups for low overhead.
  • 🛒 Retail Firearm Dealers – Powerful POS systems with inventory and CRM support.
  • 💻 Online Firearms Stores – E-commerce gateways that actually let you sell guns.
  • 🎯 Firearms Instructors – Mobile payments and online booking for classes and events.

No matter how you run your firearms business, we have a reliable, 2A-compliant way to get you paid.

Why Big Payment Providers Don’t Want Your Business

Here’s the hard truth:
Most of the big guys — Stripe, PayPal, Square — have policies that explicitly restrict firearms sales.

What happens if you try anyway?

  • ❌ Frozen funds
  • ❌ Terminated accounts
  • ❌ Weeks or months without payment
  • ❌ Zero customer service

If you’ve already been burned, you’re not alone. That’s why we exist — to give you a better way.

At EPIC, we partner with processors and platforms that understand your business. Here's what we offer:

🖥️ Dejavoo

Perfect for retail shops. Simple to use, secure, and EMV-compliant countertop terminals.

📱 SwipeSimple

Accept payments anywhere — at the range, at a gun show, or at your kitchen table.

📊 Valor Paytech

Advanced mobile and countertop options with tip prompts, reporting, and virtual terminal support.

🛍️ Clover POS

A customizable system built like an iPhone — add inventory apps, accounting tools, and customer rewards.

🌐 Authorize.net

Each of these integrates seamlessly with firearms sales and supports the features you need — without working against your rights.


Choose Your Program: EPIC ZERO vs. EPIC PLUS

💥 EPIC ZERO

Eliminate your credit card processing fees with a dual pricing model. You keep 100% of your sale — customers cover the fee if they choose to use a card.

Why choose EPIC ZERO?

  • Keeps more profit in your pocket
  • Transparent pricing that’s easy to explain to customers
  • Encourages cash for faster funding

🔧 EPIC PLUS

A traditional-style payment program where both cash and credit card buyers pay the same price — with card processing fees already built into the price at checkout. This keeps your pricing consistent while covering your costs behind the scenes.

Why choose EPIC PLUS?

  • Simple, unified pricing that avoids customer confusion
  • Seamless integration with your existing checkout process
