How does a veterinarian start accepting credit cards with Clover?

Short answer: A veterinarian can be taking cards after a single installation visit: list your top sellers and logins, have the Clover Station Duo placed, programmed and tested on site, and run a practice sale with every staff member. Then review item, tip and deposit reports after the first week, and call (305) 384-8391 with any questions.

Key facts

  • Before install: top sellers, modifiers, logins and devices
  • Install day: Clover Station Duo placed, programmed and tested
  • First rush: a second person beside the register
  • Week one: review item, tip and deposit reports

Before install day

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

Confirm where the Station Duo will sit and where power and the connection come from.
Decide who gets which login and who can refund or discount.
Photograph your current menu board or price list so items can be built from it.
Write down your top ten sellers and the modifiers each one needs, in the words your staff use.
Gather a recent processing statement for the free rate review.

On install day

A Station Duo at the front desk shows clients each charge on the customer screen, and a Mini handles a pharmacy or retail counter.

Hardware is placed, connected and tested before any customer sees it.
Tip prompts, receipts and closing time are set.

Your first service

Mornings and late afternoons are busiest, with drop-offs, appointments and pickups overlapping at the front desk. Emergencies can arrive at any time.

Keep a second person next to the register for the first hour.
Ask the first ten customers if anything about checkout confused them.
Write down anything that felt slow so it can be fixed the same day.

The first week

Starting a large procedure without a deposit increases the risk of unpaid balances. Collect deposits based on the estimate. Show the client the estimate on the customer screen when taking the deposit, so the final bill holds no surprises.

Look at tips by employee and confirm the payout matches.
Check deposits against your batch reports.
Decide whether a second device would remove a bottleneck you saw.

Common questions

Can I take a deposit before a procedure?

Yes. A deposit can be taken from the estimate and applied at pickup.

Does the POS store medical records?

No. The POS handles payments; your practice software keeps the medical records.

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.
