How a craft store really runs

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

The rush

Craft stores are busy on weekends and before holidays, with a second business in classes and workshops that fill evenings. Class nights bring a crowd that shops before and after.

The menu

Thousands of small SKUs (yarn, paper, paint, beads) plus class registrations and kits. Barcodes and clear categories are what keep the inventory count believable. Kits that bundle supplies for a project are easy to sell as single items, which saves the cashier from scanning twenty small parts.

The payment mix

Cards and taps at the counter, class fees paid ahead, and gift cards around the holidays. Class fees are usually paid in advance, and students often buy supplies on class night, which makes Tuesday or Thursday evenings look like weekends.

The people

A mix of long-time staff and part-timers who also teach. Individual logins tie class sales and retail sales to the right person. Instructors may sell kits in the classroom; giving them their own login keeps class income tied to the class that produced it.

The hardware layout

A Station Duo at the register with a barcode scanner, and a Flex for the class room or a sale table. Class sign-ups can be rung as items with a fixed number of seats.

The core device is the Clover Station Duo.

Station Duo: Main register with scanner
Flex: Class room and sale tables
Mini: Second register in holiday season

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

Selling class seats with a paper sheet means double-booking. Ring classes in the system so seats and payments line up. Also set a seat limit for each class so the system stops selling when the room is full.

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.

Common questions

Can we sell class registrations?

Yes. Classes can be set up as items, paid in advance, so you know who is coming and who has paid.

How do we keep track of thousands of small items?

A barcode scanner and organized categories keep checkout fast, and inventory reports show what to reorder.

Can I track inventory by SKU?

Yes. Items can carry SKUs and barcodes, stock counts update as you sell and reports show what moves.

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.
