Merchant Fund Express installs it on site, trains your staff and quotes processing to your business.

How a chocolate shop really runs

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

The rush

Chocolate shops do a large share of the year around a few dates: Valentine's Day, Easter, Mother's Day and the winter holidays. In those weeks the counter is slammed and pre-orders pile up.

The menu

Pieces by count, boxes by size and custom assortments are the core. Build boxes as items with a choice of pieces, so a staff member can fill a twelve-piece box without retyping prices.

The payment mix

Cards and taps, gift purchases with larger tickets, and corporate orders paid in advance. Gift cards sell well in season and should be easy to ring.

The people

A few experienced staff plus seasonal help in holiday weeks. New hires need a simple screen and limited permissions while they learn the product.

The hardware layout

A Station Duo at the counter with a customer-facing screen, and a Mini or Flex as a second register in peak weeks. Pre-orders can be noted with pickup dates so they are ready on time.

The core device is the Clover Station Duo. We choose it over the Station Solo because the Solo takes chip and swipe only, with no contactless tap.

Mini: Second register in holiday weeks
Flex: Pop-ups and markets

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

Running holiday pre-orders on paper is where shops get burned. Take them in the system with a pickup date and a deposit, and print a pickup list each morning.

Setup and training

Setup is done with you in the room: devices placed where they will really be used, items and modifiers entered in your language, a test of each payment type and a short training session for opening and closing.

Common questions

Can customers pre-order holiday boxes?

Yes. Orders can be taken ahead with a pickup date and paid in full or with a deposit, so the shop knows what to pack before the rush.

Can we sell corporate gift orders?

Large orders can be rung as one ticket, invoiced or paid by card, with notes for packaging and delivery.

Can I sell by weight and by the piece?

Yes. Items can be priced by weight or unit so the register handles both without a calculator.

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.
