The short answer for handymen

At Merchant Fund Express, we set up Clover for which credit card machine is best for a handyman: the right devices, the features that matter in your workflow and on-site training for your staff.

For most handymen we start with the Clover Flex Pocket. The Flex Pocket is the lightest device in the lineup: pocket-sized, Wi-Fi and cellular, tap, chip and swipe, with digital receipts by email or text.

Handymen take many small jobs in a day, each with its own invoice and often a customer who wants to pay by card right after.

What a handyman needs from a card machine

How the menu rings

Hourly or flat-rate jobs, materials and service fees, with small invoices that add up across the week.

How customers pay

Cards at the end of a job by handheld, with invoices for repeat clients.

Who is using it

Usually a solo operator or a very small crew; clean records are the main need.

Where it lives

A Flex Pocket in the tool bag, with digital receipts and a payment link when the customer is not home.

Mistakes handymen make

Mixing personal and business payments in one app makes tax time painful; keep business sales in the system.

Leaving permissions open so every employee can refund or discount.
Forgetting a backup connection plan for the day the main one drops.
Closing out at different times each day and then chasing deposits.

Why work with us

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.

Common questions

Can I take small payments efficiently?

Yes. A handheld takes tap, chip and swipe payments quickly, and digital receipts avoid carrying a printer.

Can I keep records for taxes?

Reports and exports give your accountant a clean record of sales and tips.

Can I get paid at the job site?

Yes. A handheld with cellular takes payment right after the work and sends the receipt by text or email.

What will this cost me?

At Merchant Fund Express, there is no price list on purpose. Your quote is built from your monthly card sales, your average ticket and the devices you need, so call (305) 384-8391 and we will price your actual setup.

Can I get a free review of my current processing?

Yes. Send or read us a recent statement and we will walk through what you pay today, with no obligation.
