Clover feature · Automotive
A practical walk-through of work-order invoicing on Clover for auto detailing shops: what happens, who does what and what to set up first.
✓ Installed by our team and supported by phone. Rates and equipment are quoted to your business.
Merchant Fund Express configures this Clover capability with your devices, menu and team, so it is working from the first shift.
Work-order invoicing ties each job to a work order, so labor, parts and approvals roll into one invoice the customer can pay.
For a auto detailing shop, the detail that matters is this: packages (basic, full, ceramic) with add-ons (pet hair, odor, headlight restoration). Vehicle size modifiers change time and scope.
bookings are staged by package and vehicle size.
add-ons such as ceramic coating or odor removal are sold at drop-off.
cars are inspected with the owner before payment.
unfinished jobs are noted for next-day pickup.
In a auto detailing shop, disputes come from surprises. A work order that logs changes means the invoice is no surprise.
A auto detailing shop that records approvals as they happen rarely argues about the total.
Waiting to take payment until the owner returns means cars sit and bays back up; take payment at the vehicle.
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.
Leaving work orders open for days.
It matters more in a auto detailing shop because detailing shops sell packages at drop-off and upsell at pickup, with a mix of walk-ins and weekly regulars.
Packages are set by vehicle size with add-ons as modifiers, so a tall truck and a compact car ring correctly without separate buttons.
Detailers and a manager. Keep price overrides with the manager.
Detail shops sell results, and the quickest way to prove them is a before-and-after conversation at drop-off and pickup. Packages priced by vehicle size, add-ons offered once at intake and a recurring maintenance plan for fleet and regular customers turn a one-time job into a standing revenue line.
