Merchant services for hunting and outdoor equipment retailers, from optics and gear to firearms accessories, with processing for in-store, online, and trade show sales. Apply with confidence.
Hunting and outdoor retailers often sell items that banks classify as high risk, such as firearms accessories, ammunition, knives, and archery equipment. Mainstream processors may close accounts without warning. As a high risk merchant account provider with 20 acquiring banks, Daystar works with banks that accept outdoor and sporting goods merchants.
Your sales swing with the seasons, spiking before opening day and during holiday shopping. We size processing limits for those peaks so your funds are not held when volume rises. Age verification, shipping records, and compliance with federal, state, and local rules help keep your account in good standing. There are no long-term contracts.
Accept all major cards for rifle scopes, tree stands, camping gear, apparel, and archery equipment in your store. Processing limits are sized for seasonal peaks and higher tickets on optics and hunting packages, so opening-week sales do not trigger an unexpected review. Card-present sales also tend to carry lower dispute rates.


Sell hunting and outdoor gear online with a secure payment gateway that supports address verification, tokenized cards, and fraud filters. Age and shipping restrictions on regulated items are your responsibility, and a gateway that works with your ecommerce platform makes those checks easier to enforce at checkout.
Take your store to gun shows, outdoor expos, and hunting events with mobile card readers. Accepting cards at the booth increases sales, and each transaction is recorded with a time and location for accurate reporting after the show. Readers work over Wi-Fi or cellular data, so rural venues and fairgrounds are not a problem.

ACH and eCheck payments suit larger orders from outfitters, guide services, hunting clubs, and ranches buying equipment in bulk. They also give customers another payment option for high-ticket purchases like blinds, UTV accessories, or complete gear packages. ACH also avoids card limits that can block a single large purchase before the season opens.

Recurring billing works for hunting club memberships, range memberships, gear subscription boxes, lease payments, and layaway plans ahead of the season. Automated collection keeps payments on schedule and reduces the time your staff spends on reminders. Customers can reserve gear months early and finish paying before opening day.

Reach outdoor enthusiasts abroad with multi-currency processing where your products can be legally shipped. Export restrictions apply to many hunting products, so international sales should be limited to items and destinations you are permitted to serve. Multi-currency pricing still helps with camping, fishing, and apparel orders from Canada and beyond.
