Yes. Authorize.net came with the web package. BUT,,,,my agreement specifically states no firearm sales. Since we only sell parts it has not been an issue but things always change. This is nothing new as when you sign up for a merchant account this is usually run by you by a risk management department. Same with business insurance in some cases with many who deal in firearms using the NRA business alliance for their requirements. I don't have any idea what the specifics in the news item are. If a dealer is so inclined to take plastic for firearms the easiest thing is to use the merchant account that allows checkout on Gunbroker.
