Payment Processing for Every Self-Defense & Safety Merchants

Host Merchant Services supports payment processing for businesses that sell self-defense and personal-safety products, including:

Everyday Carry Tools (Stun Guns, Tasers, Tactical Pens, Personal Alarms)
Pepper Spray and Mace
Home Safety Solutions (Door/Window Alarms, Personal Alert Systems, Wearable Devices)
Wearables and Safety Tech (GPS-Enabled Devices, Smart Jewelry for Emergency Alerts)
Outdoor/Travel Protection for Campers, Hikers, and Travelers

Because many processors classify these categories as high-risk (for example, some restrict pepper spray and stun guns), a dedicated high-risk provider like HMS helps you get approved, stay compliant, and keep transactions running smoothly.
