Card machine guide · Personal services
For yoga studios the Clover Station Duo is the usual starting point: class passes, memberships and retail. The sections below cover sizing, the usual traps and what installation looks like.

At Merchant Fund Express, we set up Clover for which credit card machine is best for a yoga studio: the right devices, the features that matter in your workflow and on-site training for your staff.
For most yoga studios we start with the Clover Station Duo. The Duo is the full countertop system: two screens, a built-in printer, tap, chip and swipe, Ethernet and Wi-Fi, and fingerprint login for staff.
Yoga studios run on a class schedule, with drop-ins, class packs and memberships. The front desk is busiest in the fifteen minutes before and after class.
Class passes, intro offers, memberships and retail (mats, apparel). Intro offers drive new students, and packs need a count.
Cards and wallets, with recurring memberships and automatic renewals.
Instructors, desk staff and sometimes teachers' retail commission; reports by item show what sells.
A Station Duo at the front desk with a customer-facing tip and signature screen, plus a Mini in a retail corner.
Installation is a visit, not a shipment: a technician places and tests each device, programs your menu or services with you, connects printers and drawers and practices a full transaction with every person who will use it.
| Role | Device | Why it earns its place |
|---|---|---|
| Primary | Station Duo | Front desk |
| Add-on | Mini | Retail corner |
| Add-on | Flex Pocket | Outdoor classes and events |
Selling intro offers manually without tracking expiry means the studio gives away classes for free.
What you get from Merchant Fund Express is a team, not a box: installation at your location, practical training and phone support, plus funding options from the same company if your plans grow.
