Card machine guide · Retail
For bike shops the Clover Station Duo is the usual starting point: service tickets plus retail sales. Here is how we size the setup and what to avoid.
✓ Installed by our team and supported by phone. Rates and equipment are quoted to your business.
At Merchant Fund Express, we set up Clover for which credit card machine is best for a bike shop: the right devices, the features that matter in your workflow and on-site training for your staff.
For most bike shops we start with the Clover Station Duo. On the Station Duo the staff work on a large 14-inch display while the customer sees and tips on a second 8-inch screen. Tap, chip and swipe are all accepted and the printer is built in.
Bike shops sell bikes and accessories while a repair stand keeps a queue of service tickets that overlap with retail.
Retail SKUs, service labor and parts on the same ticket, with bikes taken in and picked up days later.
Cards with larger tickets for bikes and smaller service tickets, plus deposits for special orders.
Mechanics and sales staff; service tickets need an owner and a status.
A Station Duo at the sales counter, a Mini at the service desk and a barcode scanner for parts.
We stage the system before it ships, install it with you in the room, and rehearse a real service so launch day is not the first time anyone uses it.
| Role | Device | Why it earns its place |
|---|---|---|
| Primary | Station Duo | Sales counter |
| Add-on | Mini | Service desk |
| Add-on | Flex | Events |
Treating service tickets as retail sales breaks the link between a bike and its repair history.
