How does the GunTab process work?

GunTab is escrow, so our process is slightly different from a payment platform. We hold the buyer’s payment:

  1. First, the Buyer can send a payment offer or the Seller can send a payment request or post a “Pay with GunTab” button, then the counterparty accepts. (See Getting Started to learn more.)
  2. For a firearm, or anything else that requires transfer through a gun dealer, GunTab helps the Buyer find a local gun dealer who can accept the firearm shipment and conduct the background check. For other transactions, GunTab asks the Buyer for an ordinary shipping address. Then GunTab collects the Buyer’s payment information and gets the payment processed.
  3. After the payment has been processed, GunTab sends shipping instructions to the Seller.
  4. When the shipment is marked as delivered, the Buyer’s 3-day inspection period begins. Any dispute must be filed in this period. If there is no problem, the buyer can accept early or allow the inspection period to end automatically.
  5. As soon as the inspection period ends without a dispute, GunTab disburses the funds directly to the Seller’s bank account.
