Card machine guide · Retail
For furniture stores the Clover Station Duo is the usual starting point: large tickets and delivery scheduling. Read on for the layout we would quote and the mistakes we see most.
✓ 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 furniture store: the right devices, the features that matter in your workflow and on-site training for your staff.
For most furniture stores 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.
Furniture is a large-ticket, low-frequency sale: customers browse for weeks, buy on a weekend and want delivery on a date.
High-value items with options (fabric, finish), delivery fees as items and optional protection plans. Quotes and deposits come before final payment.
Cards for large deposits and balances, with financing questions that go beyond the POS. Payments often come in two stages.
Sales associates earn commission on tickets, so reports by employee matter.
A Station Duo at the sales desk with a customer screen for signing and confirming, plus a Flex on the floor for deposits at the piece.
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 desk |
| Add-on | Flex | On-floor deposits |
| Add-on | Mini | Warehouse pickup counter |

open balances and delivery dates are reviewed.

Large-ticket items with options. Delivery and protection plans are separate items so the ticket shows each charge.
Furniture sales are decided slowly and delivered late, which turns every order into a small project. Capturing a deposit at the decision, a delivery date and the balance due on the same record, and scheduling a reminder before delivery, is what keeps the balance collected and the customer informed.
What you get from Merchant Fund Express is a team, not a box: installation at your location, practical training and phone support, plus funding options from the same company if your plans grow.
