How a painter really runs

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

The rush

Painting jobs run over days, with a deposit for supplies and a final payment on a walk-through.

The menu

Estimates by room or square footage, with a deposit, a progress payment and a final payment after the punch list.

The payment mix

Cards by invoice and handheld, with a final payment tied to client sign-off.

The people

A small crew with the owner handling quotes and customers.

The hardware layout

A Flex Pocket in the van and invoicing from a phone for each stage.

The core device is the Clover Flex Pocket.

Flex Pocket: Van terminal
Flex: With printer
Mini: Office desk

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

Collecting the whole payment at the end puts the cost of paint and labor on your cash flow.

Setup and training

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.

How the catalog is built

Estimates by room or square foot; paint and supplies are lines.

Painting jobs are won on the estimate and lost on the scope. Writing the rooms, coats and prep on the quote, collecting a deposit for materials and invoicing the balance at the walk-through gives both sides a shared document; an extra room added mid-job is easy to handle when it becomes a new line on the invoice instead of a conversation.

The case to plan for

Change orders for extra rooms should be written and approved.

Common questions

Can I collect a deposit for supplies?

Yes. Deposits can be invoiced when the job is booked.

Can the final payment be tied to a walk-through?

You can send the final invoice at completion and collect on the spot with a handheld.

Can I get paid at the job site?

Yes. A handheld with cellular takes payment right after the work and sends the receipt by text or email.

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.

Can I collect a deposit?

Invoices can collect a deposit for supplies when the job is booked, so paint and materials are paid for before the first coat.

Can final payment be tied to the walk-through?

Send the final invoice at completion and collect on site.
