How does a waxing studio start accepting credit cards with Clover?

Short answer: A waxing studio can be taking cards after a single installation visit: list your top sellers and logins, have the Clover Flex 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 Flex 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 waxing studio: the right devices, the features that matter in your workflow and on-site training for your staff.

Confirm where the Flex will sit and where power and the connection come from.
List every printer, drawer and scanner the setup needs.
Pick the day and time of install so it does not collide with a delivery or a rush.
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.

On install day

A Flex for room-side checkout, a Mini at reception and a printer for receipts if clients ask.

Items, prices and modifiers are built with you in the room.
Printers and drawers are fired off to confirm they work together.

Your first service

Waxing studios book many short services and sell packages, with a steady rhythm of repeat clients and a clear peak before holidays and vacations.

Write down anything that felt slow so it can be fixed the same day.
Keep the support number on a card by the register.
Close out at your usual time and compare the report to the drawer.

The first week

Selling packages as manual discounts means no one knows how many visits remain.

Decide whether a second device would remove a bottleneck you saw.
Tell us what your staff keep asking about so we can add training.
Review the item report and trim buttons nobody uses.

What your first day usually looks like

The situation to prepare for

Package visits expire; state it and track it.

How the catalog should be organized

Services by area with packages and add-ons.

Waxing is one of the most rebooking-driven services, because hair growth sets a natural four-to-six-week rhythm. Offering the next slot at the chair, with a package that rewards a committed series, tends to do more for the calendar than any promotion, and the receipt can carry the next appointment date so clients leave with it in hand.

Why work with us

With Merchant Fund Express you deal with the people who set the system up. We come on site, train your team and stay reachable by phone, and our funding side is there if you later need capital or equipment financing.

A Flex lets estheticians close out in the treatment room.
