Clover POS System Review: Is It Right for Your Small Business?

Clover is a versatile point-of-sale system that serves hundreds of thousands of businesses across the United States. From restaurants to retail stores to service businesses, Clover offers a range of hardware and software options. But is it right for your business? Here is an in-depth review.

Hardware Options

• Clover Go: A portable Bluetooth card reader for mobile payments ($49)
• Clover Flex: A handheld device with a touchscreen, receipt printer, and barcode scanner ($499)
• Clover Mini: A compact countertop terminal with a 7-inch touchscreen ($599)
• Clover Station Solo: A full POS station with a 14-inch display ($1,349)
• Clover Station Duo: A dual-screen setup with a merchant display and customer-facing screen ($1,649)

Software Features

Clover's software includes inventory management, employee management, sales reporting, customer engagement tools, and an app marketplace with hundreds of third-party integrations. Clover also natively supports dual pricing programs.

Processing Rates

Clover's processing rates depend on the processor you pair it with. Clover is sold through a network of authorized resellers, and rates vary significantly between them. This is both a strength (you can shop for competitive rates) and a potential pitfall (some resellers charge much more than others).

Pros

• Versatile hardware lineup for any business type
• Extensive app marketplace
• Built-in reporting and analytics
• Supports dual pricing and surcharging
• Good customer-facing display options

Cons

• Pricing varies widely between resellers
• Equipment can be expensive if purchased at full retail
• Some resellers bundle Clover with long-term contracts
