How a makeup artist really runs

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

The rush

Makeup artists work on location for weddings, shoots and events, collecting deposits well ahead and balances on the day.

The menu

Packages by number of people, travel and trial sessions, with add-ons for lashes or touch-ups.

The payment mix

Cards by invoice for deposits and by handheld on the day, with tips from clients and wedding parties.

The people

Often solo with an assistant; a clear record of who was paid what supports the books.

The hardware layout

A Flex Pocket in the case with cellular and a charged power bank, plus invoicing for deposits.

The core device is the Clover Flex Pocket.

Flex Pocket: Location terminal
Flex: Receipt printer option
Mini: Studio desk

Settings worth getting right

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.
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.

What to avoid

Collecting deposits informally and the balance in cash leaves no paper trail for the booking.

Setup and training

We stage the system before it ships, install it with you in the room, and rehearse a real service so launch day is not the first time anyone uses it.

How the catalog is built

Packages by number of people, with travel and trial as separate items.

Makeup bookings are sold months ahead and delivered on a morning with no margin for error. A clear package, a deposit that holds the date, a trial that is priced separately and a balance due on the day make the business predictable, and an invoice for each member of a wedding party removes the awkwardness of one person fronting the bill.

The case to plan for

Last-minute party changes are normal; adjust the invoice rather than re-ringing.

Why work with us

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.

Common questions

Can I take a deposit when someone books?

Yes. Invoices or partial payments hold the date and show what is still due.

Can I take payment on location?

A cellular handheld works at venues without reliable Wi-Fi.

Can I take a deposit when a client books?

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

What if I am already under a processing contract?

At Merchant Fund Express, tell us the term and the equipment arrangement. We will explain what switching would involve and tell you honestly if waiting makes more sense.

What will this cost me?

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 take payment at the venue?

A cellular handheld works at venues without reliable Wi-Fi, so payment on location does not depend on a hotel or hall network.
