Quickbooks Reverses Tens of Thousands Of Dollars Of Gunsite's Charges


About ten days ago the Gunsite bookkeeper found herself on the receiving end of a phone call from QuickBooks. The company felt there was “trouble” because they had realized Gunsite sold knives and guns on their website. This, the QuickBooks rep said, meant sales weren’t face-to-face and “kids could buy them.”
Gunsite took the time to patiently, politely educate the rep on how FFLs work and explain the laws and processes of firearm sales. Once the process and regulations were laid out, the rep backpedaled, saying now that they understood the procedure, it was alright after all and business could continue.
Then, a week ago – May 11th, 2018 – Gunsite got another phone call from QuickBooks. This time it didn’t go as well. The software company informed Gunsite that they were immediately ceasing all business with them. Why? Because they sell and promote firearms.
At first blush this was frustrating news, but Gunsite figured it could be handled. Then the other shoe dropped: in addition to cutting business ties with Gunsite, QuickBooks/Intuit refused to release the money from credit card charges currently in process from sales that had already made

It’s real. Listened to the founder and owner of honordefense.com on the radio yesterday talk about how he was black balled twice:

The first was by Stripe, a godaddy.com credit card processing company told him that they would no longer process any credit card transactions for them because they were a firearms company.

The second time was from Intuit saying that they would not process any transactions from them that were not swiped with an actual card, a.k.a. No online sales because “you can’t verify who your selling to over the web”. Hello, That’s what he flippin’ FFL is for!

Fast forward to 23:00 if you want to hear it for yourself.

**** liberals

I guess liberals in this country really like how the UK works. They say "duhhh *drool*, at least you don't have mass shootings in the UK *changes genders randomly*." Uh huh, and instead you have a severe police state where the police aren't even armed, religion-of-peace sidewalk mow-downs, bombings, and assault bicycle wheels.

"Oy! Butter knife? Where'sya knife license ya wanker?"
"What about yeh butter license?
"Where'sya license license guv'na?"

How the hell is that even legal? You can't withhold a companies revenue because you disagree with their politics.

 

[tt335ci03cobra]

Not legal, supreme ruling will side with gun site, this isn’t a right to refuse business policy, it’s a constitutionally unfounded over reach.

Quick books is overplaying their hand. Will be bad.

A smart entrepreneur should open a CC processing company supporting gun sales.

Intuit, the parent company of TurboTax and QuickBooks, disputed claims this week it stopped processing payments for gun sales.

Heather Mclellan, a company spokesperson, told Guns.com Monday “our policy is not new, nor has it changed” when questioned why the credit service reportedly refunded customers for sales made at gun-related stores, leaving business owners unpaid.

“Our company does NOT prohibit ANY of these regulated industries — including the firearms industry — from using QuickBooks for payment processing,” she said. “In fact, many do so today. However, for these transactions our bank partner requires them to be done face-to-face. To meet this requirement, our policy today requires the customer to be present to swipe their credit card.”

So they admit the story is true. Disgusting.

I am not surprised at all that Intuit did this. One of the reasons that Intuit gave was the product being offered falls under a list of products or services that are deemed risky and/or prohibited. When Gunsite applied to use Intuit's payment processor, Gunsite had to fill out a merchant agreement application. Gunsite's merchant application should have been declined as the type of transactions conducted are contrary to Intuit's acceptable use policy. Instead the application was accepted, for whatever reason, likely due to someone's oversight. As a result, Gunsite was using Intuit to process its transactions until the agreement was abruptly cancelled. Gunsite agreed to the terms under both the merchant agreement and the acceptable use policy. Perhaps in the future Gunsite should read agreements and applications with better precision to avoid this sort of headache. That said, I don't know why Intuit is holding Gunsite's money hostage. That seems very fishy and/or something else is left out in the story.
Acceptable Use Policy

It looks like the SJWs are trying to influence the banks to reject firearm purchases. I think the payment processors are just stuck in the middle

Right? The only downside is the huge problem with actually starting said business. Id bet there's hundreds of laws, regulations, etc youd need to know to even start. I think at this point these sorts of businesses are almost impossible to start.

I think the same anytime a conservative, constitutional loving company is any way blackballed or shunned or whatnot by a company with obvious liberal leanings. But just starting any company with no knowledge of the industry is a surefire way to lose your ass.
