Clover POS · Retail
A Clover setup built around how a hardware store actually sells: the rush, the menu, the payments and the people who run it.
✓ Installed by our team and supported by phone. Rates and equipment are quoted to your business.
At Merchant Fund Express, we set up Clover for hardware stores: the right devices, the features that matter in your workflow and on-site training for your staff.
A hardware store sells thousands of small items to contractors at opening and to weekend DIYers all afternoon, with a key-cutting counter and a paint desk that each have their own line.
SKUs run into the tens of thousands, so barcode scanning and item search carry the checkout. Paint mixing, key cutting and cut-to-length items are services or by-the-unit items entered at the counter.
Cards dominate, with many contractor accounts and large tickets for a truckload of lumber. Contractors expect a receipt that itemizes the job.
Floor staff know the aisles and cashiers know the register. Permissions matter for price overrides and returns, which are daily events.
A Station Duo at the front with a barcode scanner, a second Duo or Mini at the paint desk and a Flex for the lumber yard so large orders are paid at the pile.
The core device is the Clover Station Duo.
Entering items without barcodes forces cashiers to search names, which is the slowest thing a hardware store can do at 7:30 a.m.
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.

Tens of thousands of SKUs with barcodes. Cut-to-length and by-the-foot items are priced by unit.
A hardware store's depth is its edge: the customer who needs one specific fitting has nowhere else to go. Keeping barcodes and item names clean, tracking the long tail with low-stock alerts and offering accounts for regular contractors turn that depth into repeat business instead of a catalog nobody can search.
Returns without receipts are frequent; require a manager and a reason.
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.

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.
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.
Yes. A barcode scanner pairs with the Station so cashiers scan instead of searching, which matters most at the early contractor rush when the line is long and the ticket is large.
