HARTFORD, CT (March 14, 2023) – A premier online firearms component retailer, 80% Lowers is now accepting ecommerce payments using firearm-friendly Orchid Pay merchant processing. Owned and operated by veterans, hunters and firearm enthusiasts, the ecommerce retailer provides gun owners with the tools they need to build, maintain and clean their firearms at 80-lower.com.
“We don’t just sell gun parts; we grant access to the Constitution's most important right – the inalienable right to keep and bear arms,” said 80% Lowers President Chad Myers. “Switching our ecommerce payment processor to Orchid Pay not only saved us substantial money in credit card fees, but also freed us from anti-gun establishment and empowered us to stay true to our mission of protecting the Second Amendment for all who wish to take advantage of it.”
Orchid Pay offers online and in-store payment processing for firearm manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and ecommerce businesses. With low interchange-plus rates, Orchid Pay enables FFLs to keep more of what they earn to reinvest back into their business and pass savings onto customers. Combined with next-day funding and versatile swipe, dip, tap, and contactless payment card devices, Orchid Pay is a leading merchant solution for all firearm operations.
“Payment processing is one of the biggest expenses and risks businesses in our industry face,” said Shaun Phelan, Orchid VP of Sales & Implementation. “If your business engages in activities prohibited by a merchant processor, it’s not a matter of if services will be dropped, but when. Orchid Pay eliminates that risk while increasing revenue by helping FFLs avoid anti-gun financial providers and their unchecked processing fees.”
Uniquely dedicated to firearms, Orchid Pay is widely adopted across the industry, with protection enjoyed by every Orchid POS and eCommerce merchant, as well as major players such as SilencerCo, Taurus and 4473 Cloud.

Industry members are also encouraged to attend the 2023 Firearms Industry Conference (FIC) for expert-led financial education sessions impacting FFLs, including merchant processing fees, FAET, and mergers and acquisitions. Organized by Orchid and Williams Mullen’s Firearms Industry Group, FIC 2023 will be held virtually April 27-28 and in Atlanta, May 1-3, 2023.
