Card machine guide · Personal services
For pet groomers the Clover Flex is the usual starting point: appointment add-ons and tips. 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 pet groomer: the right devices, the features that matter in your workflow and on-site training for your staff.
For most pet groomers we start with the Clover Flex. A Flex goes where the sale happens: its own cellular connection, a long-lasting battery, a printer in the body and a drop-resistant build.
Groomers book by the dog or cat, with size-based service tiers, add-ons and a lot of regulars on a six-week cycle.
Breed or size tiers with add-ons (teeth, nails, de-shedding). Tickets should record the pet and the groomer for tips and reports.
Cards and tips on screen, with many repeat clients paying the same way each visit.
Groomers often work on commission, so reports by employee are important.
A Flex at the grooming station for checkout without crossing the shop, and a Mini at reception.
Setup is done with you in the room: devices placed where they will really be used, items and modifiers entered in your language, a test of each payment type and a short training session for opening and closing.
| Role | Device | Why it earns its place |
|---|---|---|
| Primary | Flex | Grooming station checkout |
| Add-on | Mini | Reception |
| Add-on | Station Duo | Busy shops with retail |
