Welcome to BKW Servicing
Have you ever been to a gun show? Gun shows are popular events for firearm enthusiasts from near and far. This can include hunters, firearm collectors, and gun shop owners and vendors. As you can imagine, this can be a tricky place when it comes to compliance and regulations. No matter what your role at the gun show is, you will want to make sure that every transaction you facilitate is secure and legally compliant. In this article, we will explore how BKW Servicing helps to support businesses that choose to frequent gun shows and direct transactions while doing so.
Let’s start by understanding how to navigate the gun show environment. While every gun show is different, the legal context surrounding firearm transactions typically remains the same. Depending on the state and location in which the gun show is operating, the show will be obligated to abide by these local and Federal laws. You can expect everything from background checks required for purchasing, to specific licensing for vendors who are selling products at the show itself.
Before you go to a gun show, be sure you are familiar with the Gun Control Act of 1968. This is a federal law that regulates the sale of firearms, so becoming familiar with it will help you feel confident in your knowledge before stepping on the floor. Gun shows often feature dealers and private sellers, who are both required to abide by a different set of rules. As such, payment methods accepted at gun show events must be in line with these legal requirements.
Understanding what kind of vendor you are before going to the gun show is crucial. This will help you know what is required of you before completing the sale of a firearm. For example, federally licensed firearm dealers must conduct background checks on every person seeking a firearm, while private sellers may not be required to do the same. Lucky for you, BKW Servicing has designed payment solutions with these different complexities in mind. Not only can you feel confident in a clear record of each transaction, but your customer will experience a seamless user interface as well.
BKW Servicing provides a payment processing system that is flexible, secure, and fully compliant. Let’s explore some of the key features that you can take advantage of when using our payment solutions!
BKW Servicing is known for offering a seamless mobile payment solution. If you have ever been to a gun show, you know how chaotic and exciting this environment can be. As such, it is not always possible to rely on a traditional payment system that requires a wired connection. Luckily, we offer fully mobile solutions so that you can accept payments directly from a phone or tablet. This can be especially useful if you are a vendor operating out of a booth and a large and crowded hall, that needs a speedy and reliable payment system. Our mobile system also integrates with a variety of different payment methods such as credit cards, debit cards, and Apple pay. The ability to offer top to pay solutions can help customers move along quickly and ensure a speedy sale.
As a gun show vendor, you’ll want to be present in the moment with customers enjoying the excitement of the event, not only focusing on compliance and payments. By providing user-friendly interfaces such as BKW Servicing, you are able to focus on selling while we take care of the rest.
BKW Servicing has formed relationships with 20 different banks and payment processors over our time in business. This allows us to curate an individualized merchant account services plan for each of our clients. Whether high risk or low risk, we understand the impact payment processing has on your small business gun shop. Contact us today, and we’ll work to get your shop approved for a payment processing plan that serves your business, rather than draining your profit.
