Why Choose Daystar for Pawnshop Payment Processing

Pawnshops handle a mix that few merchants share: high-ticket jewelry, gold, electronics, firearms and tools sold at the counter and online, plus loan payments, interest and extension fees. Large tickets, resale of pre-owned goods and regulatory oversight lead many processors to treat pawn as high risk, and some decline pawnbrokers entirely or cap the ticket sizes you can run.

Daystar understands the pawn industry and works with 20 acquiring banks across 4 continents to place pawnbrokers with banks that support them. As a high risk merchant account provider, we have a 95% approval rate among qualified applicants, most decisions arrive within 24 hours, and there are no long-term contracts. Our solutions integrate with pawnshop management systems so your counter keeps moving.
