Card machine guide · Home & field services
For carpet cleaning companies the Clover Flex Pocket is the usual starting point: truck-mount jobs and upsells. 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 carpet cleaning company: the right devices, the features that matter in your workflow and on-site training for your staff.
For most carpet cleaning companies we start with the Clover Flex Pocket. For people who sell while moving, the Flex Pocket trades a printer for size: cellular connectivity, a long-lasting battery and digital receipts.
Carpet cleaners price by room or area, sell add-ons like protectant on the spot and collect at the end of the job.
Jobs by room or square foot, with add-ons for deodorizing and spot treatment, and packages for whole homes.
Cards by handheld at the end of the job, with invoice billing for property managers.
Two-person crews with a lead who sells add-ons.

Our team ships hardware configured, then comes on site to place it, connect it, build your items and train your staff. We stay on the line through your first service.

Carpet cleaning is an add-on business wearing a cleaning business's clothes: the base clean brings the truck to the door and the protectant, deodorizer and spot treatment are where margin sits. Offering the add-ons at the walkthrough, with a clear price, and capturing a card on file for the annual return visit lifts both.
Merchant Fund Express is the team behind your terminal: we install on site, train your staff and answer the phone after launch. When you want funding or equipment financing, it is available from the same company.
Add-ons can be added to the ticket on the spot and shown on the receipt.
Invoices let property managers pay by card without calling the office.
Yes. A handheld with cellular takes payment right after the work and sends the receipt by text or email.
No. Equipment and processing are quoted to your business, because the right number depends on your volume, card mix and how many stations you need. Call (305) 384-8391 for a personal quote.
