Firearms, accessories, optics, holsters, ammunition and adjacent 2A categories are on the list of categories Shopify Payments often restricts. Storefront, product catalog, ads, FFL integration and fulfillment continue working after a restriction. Payment step breaks. Own-domain checkout wires the 2A-friendly gateway you contracted with (2A Processing, Corepay, TransNational, high-risk NMI reseller) without touching Shopify's approved list.
Firearms-category flags from Shopify Payments affect the payment method, not the Shopify account. Product catalog, FFL integration (if you route transfers via an FFL app), age-gate + ID verification workflows on the storefront, customer accounts, Klaviyo, ERP, fulfillment and marketing pixels all continue firing. Move the checkout URL and Shopify continues.
API keys for the 2A-friendly gateway you have already contracted with. 2A Processing, Corepay, TransNational, high-risk NMI reseller.
checkout.your-brand.com with TLS + PCI tokenization. Compatible with FFL-transfer add-ons and ID-verification workflows running on the storefront.
Second 2A-friendly MID as fallback. Cascade rotates on decline, throttle, velocity block.
Legal status of firearms sales varies significantly by country, US state, product category (complete firearms, frames/receivers, ammunition, accessories), FFL requirements, background-check obligations, and shipping regulations (ATF Form 4473 requirements, state-specific waiting periods, magazine-capacity restrictions). You remain responsible for FFL compliance, ATF regulations, and MCC disclosure in every jurisdiction you sell to.
Firearms and many firearms accessories are categories Shopify Payments often restricts. The Shopify storefront and fulfillment usually keep working; the payment step is what fails. Own-domain checkout via CascadeCheckout wires a 2A-friendly gateway you contracted with, without touching Shopify's approved list.
No. We do not underwrite MIDs. You contract with your own 2A-friendly acquirer (2A Processing, Corepay, TransNational, high-risk NMI reseller). We are the software layer that wires the MID you bring.
Legal status of firearms sales varies by country, US state, product category, FFL requirements, background-check obligations, and shipping regulations. You remain responsible for FFL compliance, ATF regulations, and MCC disclosure in every jurisdiction.
2A Processing, Corepay, TransNational and several NMI resellers actively underwrite firearms merchants. Coverage depends on your specific product mix (accessories only vs FFL-required items) and jurisdiction.
Bring the MID. We wire the cascade.
