The story

ShotPro operates as a vertical SaaS platform purpose-built for shooting ranges and firearms dealers, acting as merchant of record for Range Services sold through its platform. The company added biometric identity verification via authID to address the unique compliance and safety requirements of the firearms industry, including age verification, exclusion listing, and secure return-visit authentication. The platform's merchant-of-record model positions ShotPro as a payments facilitator for its dealer network, with legal documents indicating Texas law governs its dealer agreements.
