What is the best Clover POS setup for a tanning salon?

Short answer: For most tanning salons, the core of a Clover setup is the Clover Station Duo (front desk and lotion sales). A Station Duo at the desk shows each session and lotion on the customer screen, and a Mini covers a second counter during the pre-summer rush. Merchant Fund Express installs it on site, trains your staff and quotes processing to your business.

Key facts

  • Core device: Clover Station Duo
  • Mini: second counter for busy seasons

How a tanning salon really runs

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

The rush

Demand jumps before summer, prom, spring break and holidays, while memberships keep regulars coming all year. After-work hours are the busiest part of most days.

The menu

Single sessions, session packages, unlimited memberships, spray tans and a lotion wall. Lotions are often the most profitable part of the business, so they deserve a proper retail setup.

The payment mix

Card and recurring membership billing dominate, with lotion add-ons at the counter that can lift a small ticket considerably. Membership billing works best with a card on file, so renewals happen on schedule without a conversation at the desk.

The people

Front-desk staff check clients in, recommend lotions and keep beds turning. Individual logins track retail sales, which matters if staff earn commission on lotions.

The hardware layout

A Station Duo at the desk shows each session and lotion on the customer screen, and a Mini covers a second counter during the pre-summer rush.

The core device is the Clover Station Duo.

Mini: Second counter for busy seasons
Flex Pocket: Events and pop-ups

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

Memberships that quietly lapse are lost regulars. Use customer reports to see who is due for renewal and follow up. A quick look at lapsed members each week, followed by a renewal offer, brings back many regulars before summer.

Setup and training

We configure your account and hardware before anything ships, then come to you to install, load your items, connect the extras and walk your staff through the first rush, with a phone number for anything that comes up afterward.

Questions to settle first

Common questions

Can I sell memberships and packages?

Yes. Memberships and session packages can be set up as items and sold at the desk.

Can staff earn commission on lotion sales?

Yes. Sales are tracked by employee login, so reports show who sold what.

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.
