Card machine guide · Retail
For toy stores the Clover Station Duo is the usual starting point: seasonal peaks and gift-wrap services. 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 toy store: the right devices, the features that matter in your workflow and on-site training for your staff.
For most toy stores we start with the Clover Station Duo. The Station Duo pairs a 14-inch staff screen with an 8-inch customer-facing screen and a built-in printer, and it accepts contactless tap, chip and swipe.
Toy stores see a wall of demand in the weeks before holidays and birthday shopping all year.
SKUs with barcodes, gift wrap as a paid add-on and layaway-style holds.
Cards and gift cards with many small and a few big tickets.
Seasonal staff and gift-wrap helpers; lines form at the counter.
Two Station Duo lanes in the holidays, a Mini at the wrap station and a Flex for line busting.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Primary | Station Duo | Main lanes |
| Add-on | Mini | Wrap station |
| Add-on | Flex | Line busting |
A single register for the holidays creates a line that costs more sales than any extra device.
