How a auto body shop really runs

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

The rush

Auto body shops work from estimates and insurance claims, with large tickets that include deductibles, supplements and parts, often paid in stages.

The menu

Estimates, supplemental work orders, deductible amounts and parts as separate lines.

The payment mix

Cards for deductibles and out-of-pocket work, with payments from insurers arriving by other methods.

The people

Estimators, technicians and a front desk; each job passes through several hands.

The hardware layout

A Station Duo at the front desk, invoicing for larger balances and a Flex for payments at the vehicle.

The core device is the Clover Station Duo.

Station Duo: Front desk
Flex: Vehicle-side payments
Mini: Estimator desk

Settings worth getting right

Close out the same time every day so deposits and reports line up.
Decide who can open the drawer and keep that list short.
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.

What to avoid

Treating a deductible as the whole sale leaves the insurer portion invisible in the books.

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.

How the catalog is built

A job is a work order with labor, paint and parts lines, plus supplements added after teardown. Keeping each as its own line shows the customer what changed and why.

Collision work is a three-party transaction: the customer, the insurer and the shop. Separating what the customer owes (deductible, upgrades, extras) from what the insurer pays, recording supplements as they are approved and noting the promised-by date on every order keep the shop out of the most common disputes.

The case to plan for

The customer pays a deductible while an insurer pays the rest; record only what the customer owes at the counter and track the remainder outside the card flow.

Why work with us

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.

Common questions

Can I take a deductible separately?

Partial payments and invoices let you record the customer's share and track the rest.

Can I invoice a larger balance?

Invoices with a payment link let customers pay by card online.

Can I take payment at the vehicle?

Yes. A handheld lets you collect at the bay or driveway and send a receipt on the spot.

How long does it take to get running?

At Merchant Fund Express, 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.

What if I am already under a processing contract?

Tell us the term and the equipment arrangement. We will explain what switching would involve and tell you honestly if waiting makes more sense.

Can I take only the deductible by card?

Yes. You can charge the amount the customer owes and keep the insurer portion as a separate note or invoice, so the card total matches the deductible exactly.

Can I add supplements to a job?

Additional work can be added as new lines or a follow-up invoice so the customer sees each change before paying.
