Firearms & Shooting Sports Payment Processing
Compliant payment processing for FFL dealers, gun shops, and shooting ranges
Firearms retailers and shooting ranges operate in a highly regulated industry that many payment processors won't touch. UBC Unlimited works with specialized banking partners to provide reliable, compliant payment processing for FFL dealers, gun shops, ammo retailers, and shooting ranges across Utah. Due to the specialized underwriting required for this category, approval typically takes 5–7 business days.

Challenges We Solve for Firearms & Shooting Sports Businesses
Our experience in the firearms & shooting sports space gives us a clear picture of the challenges businesses in this industry face. Here are the problems we hear most — and exactly how we solve them.
The Challenge
Our Solution

Standard processors refusing or terminating firearms accounts
Major payment processors increasingly refuse to work with firearms retailers, leaving businesses scrambling for a stable processing solution.

Stable, uninterrupted processing
2

Sell online without fear of shutdown
3
High chargeback exposure from online sales

Protected merchant account
4
Gunsmithing and repair service billing
Gunsmiths and repair shops need to collect deposits for work orders and final payment on completion, often for customers who aren't present when the work is done.
Virtual terminal and payment link invoicing
Virtual TerminalsCollect deposits at drop-off via a virtual terminal or payment link. Send a digital invoice via SMS or email when the repair is complete. Customers pay online before pickup — no awkward payment conversations at the counter.
Faster collections, fewer no-shows
5
Range and membership fee collection
Shooting ranges and gun clubs need to collect range fees, lane rentals, and annual membership dues efficiently without long lines at the counter.
Mobile POS and recurring membership billing
Mobile ProcessingAccept range fees and lane rentals with a fast mobile POS. Set up automatic annual or monthly membership billing via ACH or credit card. Members can pay online or at the counter.
Faster range check-in, reliable membership revenue
6
Layaway and special order deposit management
Firearms retailers frequently handle layaway plans and special orders requiring deposits. Managing these manually with paper records creates errors and disputes.
Digital deposit and layaway tracking
Virtual TerminalsCollect and track layaway deposits and special order payments digitally. Customers receive a receipt showing their balance and payment history. Final payment is collected automatically when the item arrives.
Fewer layaway disputes, better tracking
7
Processing fees on high-ticket firearms purchases
A 2.5% fee on a $2,000 firearm is $50. For a high-volume retailer, processing fees on premium firearms significantly erode margins.
Cash Discount & Dual Pricing
Cash Discount & Dual PricingOffer a cash price and a card price. Customers who pay by card cover the processing fee. On high-ticket firearms, this can save $25–$75 per transaction.
