What is the best Clover POS setup for a used car dealer?

Short answer: For most used car dealers, the core of a Clover setup is the Clover Station Duo (sales office with customer screen). A Station Duo in the sales office shows the buyer the amount and vehicle on the customer screen, and a Flex lets a salesperson take a deposit on the lot before the buyer leaves.

Key facts

  • Core device: Clover Station Duo
  • Flex: deposits on the lot

How a used car dealer really runs

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

The rush

Weekends and the end of the month are busiest, with buyers arriving for test drives and negotiations that can take hours. A good weekend means several deals closing on the same afternoon.

The menu

Card payments usually cover deposits to hold a vehicle, part of a down payment, documentation-related charges you set, and service or detailing work. Vehicle financing itself is handled separately.

The payment mix

Tickets are large, and many card issuers set limits, so deposits are often split across cards or combined with other payment methods. Every payment needs a clear receipt tied to the vehicle.

The people

Salespeople, a finance manager and a service desk may all take payments. Individual logins show who took each deposit. Finance managers handle the bigger payments, so permissions can limit refunds and large adjustments to managers only.

The hardware layout

A Station Duo in the sales office shows the buyer the amount and vehicle on the customer screen, and a Flex lets a salesperson take a deposit on the lot before the buyer leaves.

The core device is the Clover Station Duo.

What to avoid

Letting a serious buyer leave without a deposit is how vehicles get sold out from under a deal. Take the deposit when the handshake happens.

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.

Questions to settle first

Common questions

Can I take a deposit to hold a vehicle?

Yes. A deposit can be taken on the lot or in the office and noted against the vehicle.

Can I take payments for service work too?

Yes. Service and detailing can be rung on the same system with their own items.

Can I take payment at the vehicle?

Yes. A handheld lets you collect at the bay or driveway and send a receipt on the spot.

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.

How long does it take to get running?

At Merchant Fund Express, once your account is approved the hardware is configured and scheduled for on-site installation. We give you a real date when you call, and we stay with you through the first service.
