Card machine guide · Personal services
For massage therapists the Clover Flex is the usual starting point: memberships, tips and appointment reminders. The sections below cover sizing, the usual traps and what installation looks like.
✓ 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 massage therapist: the right devices, the features that matter in your workflow and on-site training for your staff.
For most massage therapists we start with the Clover Flex. The Flex keeps checkout moving away from the counter, with cellular connectivity, tap, chip and swipe, and a printer built in.
Massage practices run on a calendar of single-client sessions with memberships and packages that drive repeat visits.
Session lengths (30, 60, 90 minutes) with add-ons and packages. Membership billing and gift cards are common.
Card and wallet, with tips on the card and a membership plan that renews.
Solo practitioners and small teams with room rental. Employee reports support payroll and room-rent accounting.
A Flex at the front desk or in a hallway nook, plus a Mini if the practice has a reception area.
Installation is a visit, not a shipment: a technician places and tests each device, programs your menu or services with you, connects printers and drawers and practices a full transaction with every person who will use it.
| Role | Device | Why it earns its place |
|---|---|---|
| Primary | Flex | Handheld for the front desk |
| Add-on | Mini | Reception counter |
| Add-on | Flex Pocket | Mobile sessions |
Selling packages as manual price edits means nobody knows how many sessions remain.
