How FastBound Software Works with Merchant Services in the Firearm Industry
Operating within the firearm industry requires more than just product knowledge—it demands strict ATF compliance, accurate inventory tracking, and secure payment solutions. FastBound, a leading software for firearm dealers, helps streamline ATF-compliant recordkeeping and simplifies complex processes like bound book entries and Form 4473 completion. When paired with reliable merchant services like Pistol Payments, FastBound becomes a complete solution for running a legal, efficient, and profitable firearms business.
FastBound’s software integrates with point-of-sale systems (POS) that are specifically designed for the firearm and pawn shop industry. These POS systems—such as Defender, Clover or Korona POS Systems—are capable of handling credit card payments, inventory tracking, customer management, and more. By connecting with FastBound, your POS not only manages transactions but also communicates directly with your ATF compliance tools.
For example, when a sale is initiated, FastBound automatically generates a digital 4473 form, populates it with customer information, and prepares it for e-signature. Once completed, the firearm transaction is logged into the electronic bound book in real-time. At the same time, the merchant services system processes the payment securely—whether it’s via credit card, mobile wallet, or contactless payment—creating a seamless and efficient workflow.
Key Benefits of Using FastBound with Merchant Services:
- ATF-Compliant Transactions: Automatically log firearm sales and transfers into a digital bound book.
