Card machine guide · Home & field services
For electricians the Clover Flex Pocket is the usual starting point: estimates, invoices and deposits. Below: what the setup looks like, who it suits and where owners go wrong.
✓ 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 an electrician: the right devices, the features that matter in your workflow and on-site training for your staff.
For most electricians we start with the Clover Flex Pocket. A Flex Pocket rides in a pocket or bag and takes tap, chip and swipe payments, sending receipts by email or text rather than printing.
Electricians quote jobs, order materials and often work on a mix of residential calls and commercial projects with staged billing.
Estimates become invoices, with deposits for materials and progress payments on larger jobs.
Card at the job site for small calls, invoice links for contractors and property managers.
Small teams with an owner who does estimates; reports by job type help price the next one.

Setup is done with you in the room: devices placed where they will really be used, items and modifiers entered in your language, a test of each payment type and a short training session for opening and closing.
| Role | Device | Why it earns its place |
|---|---|---|
| Primary | Flex Pocket | Truck terminal |
| Add-on | Flex | Printer on site |
| Add-on | Mini | Office counter |
Skipping the deposit on materials leaves the electrician financing the customer's project.
