How a auto parts store really runs

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

The rush

Auto parts stores sell to walk-in DIYers and to repair shops with accounts, often by part number and vehicle.

The menu

SKUs by part number, core charges, special orders and trade accounts with their own pricing.

The payment mix

Cards from DIY buyers and account billing for shops, with core returns handled at the counter.

The people

Counter staff look up parts all day, so search speed and accuracy are the main concerns.

The hardware layout

A Station Duo with a barcode scanner at the counter and a Flex for delivery drivers who bring parts to shops.

The core device is the Clover Station Duo.

Station Duo: Counter
Flex: Delivery drivers
Mini: Wholesale desk

Settings worth getting right

Set suggested tip amounts that fit your average ticket instead of the default.
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.

What to avoid

Searching parts by name rather than part number makes mistakes with similar items.

Setup and training

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.

How the catalog is built

Part numbers and cores are the heart of the catalog; core charges are separate items refunded on return.

A parts counter lives on lookup speed and availability. Clean part numbers, a clear policy for cores and returns and accounts for the repair shops that order daily turn the counter from a retail till into a supplier relationship, and a delivery handheld makes the route a rolling second register.

The case to plan for

Core returns bring a deposit back; record the return against the original sale so it nets correctly.

Why work with us

With Merchant Fund Express you deal with the people who set the system up. We come on site, train your team and stay reachable by phone, and our funding side is there if you later need capital or equipment financing.

Common questions

Can I handle core charges?

Core charges can be added and refunded as items when the core is returned.

Can drivers take payment on delivery?

A Flex lets drivers collect when they drop parts at a shop.

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.

Do you publish prices for this setup?

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.

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.

Can delivery drivers take payment?

A handheld lets drivers collect when they drop parts at a shop.
