How an art show artist really runs

At Merchant Fund Express, we set up Clover for art show artists: the right devices, the features that matter in your workflow and on-site training for your staff.

The rush

Sales happen at fairs, open studios and gallery nights, often in a single weekend that pays for the season. Buyers decide quickly and want to leave with the piece.

The menu

Original works, prints in several sizes, cards and commissions. Prints as items with size variants keep the booth checkout fast.

The payment mix

Cards and taps at the booth, a few large original sales, deposits on commissions and occasional shipping for large pieces.

The people

Usually the artist alone, sometimes with a friend helping at the booth. The device must work while the artist is also talking with buyers.

The hardware layout

A Flex Pocket in a pocket or on a stand, with cellular so outdoor fairs are not a problem, and a Flex if you want printed receipts for big originals.

The core device is the Clover Flex Pocket.

Flex Pocket: Pocket-sized booth terminal
Flex: Printed receipts for originals
Mini: Studio sales counter

Settings worth getting right

Give each person their own login and limit refunds and discounts to managers.
Put your five best sellers on the first screen so new hires find them without hunting.
Check the connection indicator at open so a dropped Wi-Fi link is found before the rush.
Build modifiers once so tickets read the same at the counter, the kitchen and in reports.
Turn on receipt options that match what customers ask for: paper, text or email.

What to avoid

Losing a big sale because the signal dropped is painful. Use a cellular device and keep a charged spare for long show days.

Setup and training

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.

Common questions

Can I take a deposit on a commission?

Yes. The deposit is recorded against the customer, and the balance is collected when the piece is delivered.

Does it work at outdoor fairs?

Yes. The Flex Pocket and Flex have built-in cellular, so you do not need the fair's Wi-Fi.

Will it work at a venue with poor Wi-Fi?

A device with its own cellular connection does not rely on venue Wi-Fi, which is why vendors choose it.

What will this cost me?

At Merchant Fund Express, there is no price list on purpose. Your quote is built from your monthly card sales, your average ticket and the devices you need, so call (305) 384-8391 and we will price your actual setup.

Can I get a free review of my current processing?

Yes. Send or read us a recent statement and we will walk through what you pay today, with no obligation.
