Who They Are
Throw Back Technologies provides full-service payment solutions for general, high-risk, and 2A industry merchants. They deliver credit card processing, ACH services, done-for-you PCI compliance, and integrated marketing support — all backed by purpose-built technology and direct industry expertise.
That last part matters. When a generic processor drops a firearms merchant mid-quarter — and it happens more often than most retailers realize — you lose the ability to take card payments at the counter, online, and through dispositions all at once. Throw Back Technologies exists to keep 2A retailers stable in that environment, with underwriting and support built specifically for the industry.
What They Offer
- Credit Card ProcessingCard-present (POS), card-not-present (eCommerce), and keyed-in transactions on one platform. Supports Dejavoo and Equinox terminals at the counter.
- ACH ServicesBank-to-bank payment rails for high-ticket items, recurring billing, and B2B transactions.
- Done-For-You PCI ComplianceThey handle the certification work so you stay compliant without the annual scramble.
- Integrated Marketing SupportMarketing services bundled with payments — purpose-built for the merchants they underwrite.
How It Connects To MFS Exchange
We integrated Throw Back Technologies into the MFS Exchange POS and checkout so credit-card transactions across every channel flow through the same processor:
- Card-present terminal payments through the POS, including chip, swipe, and tap
- Online checkout for the WooCommerce storefront
- Manual / keyed-in transactions for phone orders and special situations
- Saved-card flow for layaway payment schedules and customer-on-file orders
What Sets Throw Back Technologies Apart
- Firearms-industry specialization. Underwriting firearms retailers is their core business, not a category they tolerate.
- Stable accounts. They don't drop merchants when the political climate shifts — the relationship is built on long-term underwriting, not headline-driven risk teams.
- Reasonable reserves and rates. Pricing built for the realities of firearms retail, not the surcharges generic processors slap on "high-risk" merchants.
- Integrated tightly with MFS Exchange. Direct integration with our POS and checkout means no third-party gateway in the middle eating margin or breaking reconciliation.
- Support that knows the industry. When you call, you're talking to a team that already understands FFL workflows — not explaining what a 4473 is.
