At Merchant Fund Express, we set up Clover for fishing charters: the right devices, the features that matter in your workflow and on-site training for your staff.
Charters book weeks ahead and run on tides and weather. The dock is busy before dawn and again when boats return. Early departures mean the first payment of the day may be taken before sunrise, on a dock with weak signal.
Trips by length and party size, deposits, gear and fish cleaning. Balances are usually collected at the dock. Fish cleaning, licenses where you sell them, ice and gear rental are add-ons worth ringing as items, not lumped into the trip.
Deposits at booking, balances on the dock and tips for the crew. Groups often split the balance among several anglers, so separate payments on one booking save an argument on the dock.
Captains and mates handle payments on the dock. Captains, mates and a booking person each touch the money, and tips are often split among the crew, so records by person help settle up after each trip.
A Flex Pocket collects balances and tips on the dock, using cellular where Wi-Fi is unavailable. A Mini can sit in the booking office.
The core device is the Clover Flex Pocket.
Weather cancellations with no recorded credit lead to disputes. Record credits and refunds against the booking. Also note deposits for no-shows clearly so your cancellation policy is applied the same way every time.
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.
Merchant Fund Express is the team behind your terminal: we install on site, train your staff and answer the phone after launch. When you want funding or equipment financing, it is available from the same company.
