Card machine guide · Professional services
For tutoring centers the Clover Station Duo is the usual starting point: package sales and recurring 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 tutoring center: the right devices, the features that matter in your workflow and on-site training for your staff.
For most tutoring centers we start with the Clover Station Duo. On the Station Duo the staff work on a large 14-inch display while the customer sees and tips on a second 8-inch screen. Tap, chip and swipe are all accepted and the printer is built in.
Tutoring centers sell packages and monthly programs, with families that pay in terms and a rush at enrollment.
Session packages, monthly programs, assessments and materials, with sibling discounts.
Cards on file for monthly billing and desk payments for packages.
Tutors and a front-desk person; reports by tutor and by student guide scheduling.

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.
| Role | Device | Why it earns its place |
|---|---|---|
| Primary | Station Duo | Front desk |

Tutoring revenue depends on renewals, not first sessions. Tracking packages by sessions remaining, and putting a renewal conversation on the calendar when a pack is down to its last visits, keeps students from lapsing between terms; a report of packs about to expire is the single most useful list a front desk can have.
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.
Packages can be sold as items with a count tracked against sessions.
Recurring billing tools can support monthly programs.
The Merchant Fund Express team installs on site, configures your items and trains your staff, then stays available by phone after launch.
No. Equipment and processing are quoted to your business, because the right number depends on your volume, card mix and how many stations you need. Call (305) 384-8391 for a personal quote.
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.
Recurring billing supports monthly programs, so families on a set program are charged on a schedule they authorized.
Call Merchant Fund Express. We install it, train your staff and stay on the line after launch. Ask for a free rate review while you are at it.
