Retail firearm sales
Home-based FFL operations

ZERO vs PLUS

Z4R offers two primary pricing options designed specifically for firearm-related businesses.

ZERO “Pay Your Way”

ZERO uses a dual pricing model.

Customers are shown both a cash price and a credit card price before making a payment decision.

Cash-paying customers pay less. Customers who choose to use a credit card cover the cost of card acceptance.

This allows business owners to protect profit margins without raising prices across the board.

Under ZERO pricing, the merchant does not pay per-transaction credit card processing costs. Customers who choose to pay with a credit card cover those costs at checkout. The merchant only pays any applicable monthly fees if they exist.

PLUS INTERCHANGE Plus Pricing

PLUS is designed for businesses that prefer one price for every customer regardless of payment method.

With PLUS, both cash-paying and credit card-paying customers contribute to the overall cost of accepting cards because processing expenses are treated as a standard operating expense of doing business.

The merchant pays wholesale interchange costs plus a clearly disclosed markup from Z4R Merchant Systems. Processing expenses are paid by the business and spread across all sales rather than being separated by payment type.

This model pricing is not cost effective however, it provides simple, transparent pricing.
