Merchant Fund Express configures this Clover capability with your devices, menu and team, so it is working from the first shift.
Loyalty and rebooking help a tattoo shop turn each visit into the next one.
For a tattoo shop, the detail that matters is this: cards and cash, with generous tips and deposits taken ahead of sessions.
consults and appointments are reviewed.
deposits are applied and tips taken.
aftercare is sold.
artist totals are reviewed.
A tattoo shop that asks for the next visit before the client leaves fills its calendar without advertising.
Repeat clients are the cheapest revenue a service business has, and they lapse mostly because nobody asked. Offering the next visit at the moment of payment, with a reward they can see, does more than any ad.
Not attaching an artist to each ticket makes the end-of-week split a manual exercise.
Our team ships hardware configured, then comes on site to place it, connect it, build your items and train your staff. We stay on the line through your first service.
Building a clever points system nobody can explain. If staff cannot say it in a sentence, clients will not use it.
It matters more in a tattoo shop because tattoo shops combine consultations, long sessions and walk-ins, with artists who run their own calendars under one roof.

Tattoo shops run on artists, and most arrangements are commission or booth rent. Clean per-artist reports and a consistent deposit rule make settlement a report instead of an argument, and aftercare products at the end of a session are a small, steady revenue line that is easy to miss without a prompt.
A tattoo studio's calendar is built from consultations, long sessions and touch-ups, each with its own price logic. Separating the consultation fee, the session deposit and the final balance on one client record, and keeping aftercare products on the same ticket, gives artists and the front desk the same picture of what has been paid and what is owed.
As explained by Merchant Fund Express. Updated 2026.
Yes. Sign-up can happen on the customer screen or handheld at payment.
Customer records and reports help you spot clients who have lapsed.
Deposits can be taken as a partial payment and applied against the final total.
It helps but is not required. A recent processing statement lets us compare your effective rate to what a Clover setup would look like for your sales mix.
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.
Employee reports show sales by artist, which supports commission and booth-rent accounting without a spreadsheet at the end of the week.
Deposits are recorded when the appointment is booked and applied at the session, so a no-show has a visible cost and a kept appointment a visible credit.
