High Risk Merchant Accounts For GunBroker
An Overview
Get A High Risk Merchant Account That Seamlessly Integrates With GunBroker.
GunBroker is the world’s largest online marketplace for firearms, ammunition, and related accessories, enabling sellers to reach a vast audience of buyers. With powerful tools for listings, auctions, and inventory management, it’s an ideal platform for firearms dealers to sell. However, when it comes time to accept credit card payments from your customers, you’ll need to integrate a merchant account. But because you’re selling guns, ammo, or other regulated items, your business is classified as high risk and you’ll have a hard time accepting credit cards with most payment processors. That’s where SoarPay comes in.
SoarPay specializes in high-risk merchant accounts tailored for the firearms industry. We partner with reliable third-party payment gateways like Authorize.net and NMI (Network Merchants Inc.) to ensure seamless integration with GunBroker. This allows you to accept credit and debit cards directly in the GunBroker checkout, providing a smooth experience for your customers while complying with industry regulations.
Whether you’re a licensed FFL dealer or selling non-restricted accessories, our solutions help you process payments securely and efficiently. Avoid the limitations of credit card processors that often reject firearms businesses, get approved quickly with SoarPay.
Why Do GunBroker Sellers Need A High Risk Merchant Account?
2A Businesses that want to sell on GunBroker are looking for an alternative to low risk credit card processors like Square, Stripe or PayPal or even large banks like Chase or Wells Fargo for a few reasons:
- Application Denied. The 2A industry (e.g., firearms, ammunition, gun parts, tactical gear, or related products like shooting accessories) are typically categorized as high-risk and therefore are not accepted by most credit card processors.
- Frozen Merchant Account. Many 2A businesses were initially accepted by a low risk payment processor, but getting a chargeback, or hitting a volume limit have triggered account review which led to frozen funds or account terminations.
Without a high risk merchant account, you risk account freezes, denied payments, or platform restrictions on GunBroker. SoarPay’s high risk merchant account is designed for 2A businesses, ensuring you can focus on growing your business without payment hurdles.
