Card machine guide · Home & field services
For moving companies the Clover Flex Pocket is the usual starting point: deposits and final payment at delivery. 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 moving company: the right devices, the features that matter in your workflow and on-site training for your staff.
For most moving 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.
Moving companies book weeks ahead, take a deposit and collect the balance at delivery, with crews working under time pressure.
Hourly rates or flat quotes, with packing materials and fees as line items and a deposit on booking.
Cards for deposits online and for balances on delivery by handheld, with invoices for corporate moves.
Crew leads collect on site; the office reconciles each job.
A Flex Pocket in each lead's cab and invoicing for deposits.
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 |
|---|---|---|

Moves are a calendar business with a heavy first and last week of the month. A deposit to hold the date, a written estimate that states what happens if the job runs long and a handheld for the crew lead to settle the balance and any add-ons at delivery are the three pieces that keep the day from turning into a dispute.
With Merchant Fund Express you deal with the people who set the system up. We come on site, train your team and stay reachable by phone, and our funding side is there if you later need capital or equipment financing.
Invoices let you collect a deposit and hold the date.
A handheld takes payment at the delivery and sends a receipt.
Yes. A handheld with cellular takes payment right after the work and sends the receipt by text or email.
