Card machine guide · Home & field services
For roofers the Clover Flex Pocket is the usual starting point: large invoices and milestone payments. Read on for the layout we would quote and the mistakes we see most.

At Merchant Fund Express, we set up Clover for which credit card machine is best for a roofer: the right devices, the features that matter in your workflow and on-site training for your staff.
For most roofers we start with the Clover Flex Pocket. A Flex Pocket rides in a pocket or bag and takes tap, chip and swipe payments, sending receipts by email or text rather than printing.
Roofing jobs are large, weather-dependent and paid in stages, from a deposit to materials and a final payment after the last nail.
Estimates become jobs with deposits, material payments and change orders. Storm-season work arrives in a rush.
Cards for deposits and final payments by invoice or handheld, with checks from insurers for larger jobs.
A crew leader on the roof and an owner who quotes; reports by job show margin.

We stage the system before it ships, install it with you in the room, and rehearse a real service so launch day is not the first time anyone uses it.

A roof is usually the largest bill a homeowner pays in years, so the payment flow is part of the sale. A deposit when materials are ordered, a progress payment at tear-off and a final payment after the walk-through gives the customer a sense of control and keeps your cash from running ahead of your costs; invoices with a payment link make each step easy to say yes to.
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.
Invoices can be issued for the deposit, materials and final balance and tracked until paid.
Invoices include a payment link so they can pay from their phone.
Yes. A handheld with cellular takes payment right after the work and sends the receipt by text or email.
