What is the best Clover POS setup for a day spa?

Short answer: For most day spas, the core of a Clover setup is the Clover Station Duo (front desk with tip screen). A Station Duo at the front desk shows the client their services, the tip screen and the retail items. Merchant Fund Express installs it on site, trains your staff and quotes processing to your business.

How a day spa really runs

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

The rush

Weekends and holidays fill the schedule, and gift-card sales spike before major holidays. Couples and groups often book together and check out together.

The menu

Services, packages, add-on upgrades, gift cards and retail skincare share the menu. Add-ons such as extended time or aromatherapy work best as modifiers on the service.

The payment mix

Card and gift cards dominate. Clients tip on the customer screen, and tips must reach the right therapist or be pooled by your policy.

The people

Front-desk staff handle check-in and payment while therapists perform services. Logins track sales by employee so commission and tips are clear. Commission on retail skincare is common, so sales should be tied to the therapist or front-desk person who recommended the product.

The hardware layout

A Station Duo at the front desk shows the client their services, the tip screen and the retail items. A Mini handles a separate retail counter.

The core device is the Clover Station Duo.

Settings worth getting right

Turn on receipt options that match what customers ask for: paper, text or email.
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.

What to avoid

Unclear tip assignment causes disputes. Assign each service to the therapist when it is rung so tips follow automatically. Decide your tip policy before opening day, set it up once, and therapists will see exactly what they earned on every shift report.

Setup and training

Installation is on site: hardware set up and tested, your items and modifiers programmed, printers and drawers connected and your staff walked through a practice rush.

Common questions

Can tips be assigned to the therapist who did the service?

Yes. Each service can be assigned to an employee so tips and commission are credited to the right person.

Can I sell spa packages and gift cards?

Yes. Packages and gift cards can be sold in person or online and redeemed at checkout.

Can I take a deposit when a client books?

Yes. Deposits can be recorded as partial payments and applied at the appointment.

Should I send a statement before I call?

It helps but is not required. A recent processing statement lets us compare your effective rate to what a Clover setup would look like for your sales mix.

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.
