How a trade show seller really runs

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

The rush

Trade show sellers set up a booth, sell for two or three days and ship the rest home, so the payment tool has to be fast to set up and to reconcile.

The menu

A small number of products or services with show specials and bundles that change by day.

The payment mix

Cards and wallets from a rotating crowd, with large tickets from buyers and occasional invoices.

The people

Two or three staff at the booth, often borrowed from other departments.

The hardware layout

A Flex Pocket or Flex on cellular, a charger and a simple price card at the booth.

The core device is the Clover Flex Pocket.

Flex Pocket: Booth terminal
Flex: With printer
Mini: Fixed showroom

Settings worth getting right

Build modifiers once so tickets read the same at the counter, the kitchen and in reports.
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.

What to avoid

Relying on convention-center Wi-Fi that is overloaded the moment the doors open.

Setup and training

Our team ships hardware configured, then comes on site to place it, connect it, build your items and train your staff. We stay on the line through your first service.

A typical day, hour by hour

Prior

booth number and show hours are set, and stock is shipped.

Setup day

the booth is built and the device is tested on the hall's connection.

Show days

buyers visit in waves, so one person qualifies and another takes payment.

Teardown

invoices for post-show orders are sent.

Reports worth reading each week

Sales by day of show

shows traffic.

Orders by buyer type

shows retail vs wholesale.

Invoices outstanding

shows post-show follow-up.

How the catalog is built

Show specials are bundles priced for the show; wholesale follow-ups are invoices rather than card sales on the floor.

Trade shows are expensive per square foot, so the goal is leads converted, not only cash taken. A short list of show specials, a way to take payment at the booth and an invoice for the buyer who needs a purchase order afterward let a booth serve both the impulse buyer and the procurement team.

The case to plan for

Large orders at a show are often invoiced, so keep a payment link ready.

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

Will it work on a show floor?

A device with its own cellular connection does not rely on convention-center Wi-Fi.

Can I invoice a buyer after the show?

Yes. Invoices with a payment link let a buyer pay by card later.

Will it work at a venue with poor Wi-Fi?

A device with its own cellular connection does not rely on venue Wi-Fi, which is why vendors choose it.

Who installs and trains my staff?

The Merchant Fund Express team installs on site, configures your items and trains your staff, then stays available by phone after launch.

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.
