Square used to permit swiped transactions for firearms, just no internet/keyed payments for them. No more as of today: https://squareup.com/legal/seller-agreement

I am a manager for First Data. The processor of Square, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Paypal, etc.... The reason why that happens is because Square (along with some other merchant services) do not offer PCI compliance. Needed for your protection (as a merchant) from chargebacks and disputes. I give my small gun shops on a similar phone swiper (or terminal of any kind) at a rate of 1.75% (compared to Square's 2.75% and Paypal's ~3.50%) plus my PCI compliance fee of $9.95. A small price to pay to keep a legitimate business going the way it should. And your insurance that we can protect you from illegitimate chargebacks.
