Card machine guide · Home & field services
For pest control companies the Clover Flex Pocket is the usual starting point: recurring plans and route billing. Here is how we size the setup and what to avoid.
✓ 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 pest control company: the right devices, the features that matter in your workflow and on-site training for your staff.
For most pest control companies 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.
Pest control runs on recurring plans and one-time treatments, with technicians covering routes and a busy spring and summer.
Treatment plans billed monthly or quarterly, initial services priced separately and add-ons for specific pests.
Cards on file for recurring plans, with handheld payment for one-time jobs.
Technicians on routes, with reports by route and technician.

We configure your account and hardware before anything ships, then come to you to install, load your items, connect the extras and walk your staff through the first rush, with a phone number for anything that comes up afterward.
| Role | Device | Why it earns its place |
|---|---|---|

Recurring plans and one-time treatments are separate items.
Pest control is a recurring-revenue business wearing a service business's clothes. The strongest habit is separating plan customers from one-time treatments in reports, so you can see how many customers are on plan, how many renew and how many one-time visits could be converted into plans with a single conversation at the end of a job.
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.
At Merchant Fund Express, recurring billing tools can support plan billing; we confirm the best setup.

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

Once your account is approved the hardware is configured and scheduled for on-site installation. We give you a real date when you call, and we stay with you through the first service.
