Payment At Citadel Guns
At Citadel Guns , we strive to provide a streamlined and secure purchasing experience. Because we specialize in tactical firearms and high-performance equipment, we utilize payment methods that ensure privacy, security, and immediate processing.
Accepted Payment Methods
We currently accept the following forms of payment:
Zelle: A fast and secure way to send money directly from your bank account to ours. Payments are usually processed instantly, allowing us to move your order to the shipping phase faster.
Cryptocurrency: We accept a variety of digital currencies, including Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) . Crypto payments offer the highest level of privacy and are ideal for customers who prefer decentralized payment platforms.
Why We Do Not Accept Credit or Debit Cards
Many customers ask why a premier firearms retailer like Citadel Guns does not accept traditional credit card payments. The answer lies in the current landscape of the financial services industry:
Industry Restrictions: Many major credit card processors and “Big Tech” payment gateways have restrictive policies against the firearms industry. These companies often freeze accounts or delay funds for legal firearm transactions, which disrupts our ability to serve our customers.
Privacy & Security: Traditional card processing requires the sharing of extensive personal data through multiple third-party intermediaries. By using Zelle and Cryptocurrency , we reduce the “digital footprint” of your transaction and keep your financial data between you and your bank.
Lower Overhead, Better Prices: Credit card companies charge high merchant fees (often 3-5% per transaction). By eliminating these fees, we are able to keep our prices competitive and pass those savings directly to you.
How to Complete Your Payment
Once you have placed your order, you will receive an automated email with specific instructions on how to finalize your payment:
For Zelle: You will receive our registered Zelle email or phone number. Please include your Order Number in the “Memo” or “Note” section of the transfer.
For Cryptocurrency: You will be provided with a unique wallet address. Once the transaction is confirmed on the blockchain, your order status will be updated to “Processing.”
Important Payment Information
Verification: Orders will not be processed or shipped until payment is fully verified and cleared.
Order Cancellations: If payment is not received within 24 hours of placing the order, the items will be returned to our active inventory, and the order may be canceled.
No Hidden Fees: Unlike other retailers, we do not charge “processing fees” or “convenience fees” for using Zelle or Crypto.
