[Key takeaways](#key-takeaways)[Our verdict](#our-verdict)[Alternatives](#alternatives)[Users](#users)[Pros and Cons](#pros-cons)[Interface](#interface)[Features](#features)[Pricing](#pricing)[Integrations](#integrations)[Support](#support)[Reviews](#reviews) Clover Clover Overview: ### Key takeaways Insights from verified Capterra reviews Clover is a point-of-sale and payment processing tool used mainly by small businesses in retail, food and beverage, and restaurant sectors. It stands out for its mobile compatibility and ease of use, and supports fast transactions and flexible device options. However, several reviewers mention challenges with customer support and unexpected fees, and pricing is seen as high for small teams needing multiple terminals. ### Our verdict Clover is a practical option for small teams that want to simplify daily transactions and manage payments across mobile and countertop devices. While its setup is straightforward and the interface is easy to navigate, users may face slow support escalation, limited reporting depth, and added costs for extra terminals or advanced features. It suits firms that prioritize usability over customization.

As an event planner, having this option on site has made on site event payments a breeze for clients and guests. Pros I am a private event planner and Clover has been a game changer! I'm able to use it at any venue, in any weather condition, indoors or outdoors, no matter the occasion! It's the perfect party accessory! Cons NO cons! It was super easy to learn and share with my team! They picked it up quickly and we used it for an event the very first day we got it!

Ocassional issues but customer service seems to be able to resolve them quickly Pros The portable card readers have been excellent for checking out appointments in the exam room!

Anything and everything Food Production ### "Embarrassing customer service" 1.0 Overall Rating 1.0 1.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 4/10 March 23, 2026 As long as everything is going well, things are going well. The second anything goes wrong you can’t rely on customer service. Pros For the most part, the system works well for us. Clover was not able to do everything it promised us it would, but we have adjusted our practices to continue. Cons A duplicate charge caused by clover system during a service outage cannot be refunded—by me or by their support team. After spending a long time in chat, being told repeatedly the issue was resolved (it wasn’t), I was ultimately told nothing could be done. Meanwhile, my customer is double charged. This is unacceptable for a payment processor in 2026. Please provide a real solution other than mailing a check that’s embarrassing Switched from [Square Point of Sale](https://www.capterra.com/p/275802/Square-Point-of-Sale/) We switched because it was promised us that we would be able to use multiple locations and we bought lots of equipment to do so but then that was not a feature you have or were able to produce.

We have recommended it to others and would continue to do so. Pros I appreciate the ease of use. It works great for inventory and I also am grateful for the many details that can be added.

Owner Restaurants ### "BUYER BEWARE" 1.0 Overall Rating 1.0 1.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 February 1, 2026 The customer service is horrible for speed, we have an issue that has been in their hands for many many months, and advanced support is not able to solve it. Their Customer Support seems very knowledgeable about how to actually fix their own products. Pros Ease of use for administration and the team. Ability to have reports auto emailed to the appropriate people. Cons Buyer Beware! We had an issue where our team could not redeem the reward for new customers on one of our replaced clover flex devices. No big deal, we called clover support, they took down a bunch of information, and we waited for a reply. It went months and haven't heard a thing. When I called to check on the case number, they told me that it was closed. Pretty strange since no one called me and we were still having the issue. They reopened the case and we continued to wait, patiently. It got to be the 6 month mark and their solution was to reset the device. This didnt work so we asked for a replacement under warranty. We were advised that we were 2 weeks out of our warranty expiration! Seriously?! We gave the courtesy of giving their team 6 MONTHS to fix the problem and they won't honor the warranty? Fast forward a month and the more I thought about it the more angry it would make me. We are a multi-location business with many many clover devices, all of them work perfectly with the rewards program. I enter another support ticket, hoping someone will be able to help. I receive an email stating there is no item attached to that reward. Impossible since the other 20-some devices work just fine. I follow their steps and now we have 1 device that works and the rest do not! I called support to bring this to their attention and they tell me they will get back to me in 3 business days. They do not care about the merchants. We WILL be switching to Square.

RM Rachael M. Server Food & Beverages ### "Continues to be the best POS system out there that looks clean and offers so much customizability" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 January 18, 2026 Still the best POS system I have used across multiple industries from hospitality to retail. There are no other comparable options out there that can match both the streamlined modern yet simple aesthetic alongside top notch performance and customizability. Pros Clover still remains very easy to navigate due to its simple and aesthetically pleasing interface. While I primarily used it in hospitality and saw it mostly used in hospitality settings by others, it has now expanded greatly into more retail settings. The expansion of its use has really helped to elevated technological features, improvements in reliability of the software, and more streamlined integration across different applications and multiple uses. Cons The only occasional con that has arose is connectivity issues, which can be a hassle and time consuming to restore, which can cause issues when it is very busy. This is minor occurrence that is occasional and has improved greatly. Switched from [TouchBistro](https://www.capterra.com/p/140677/TouchBistro/) Functionality and efficiency with portable POS devices.

Practice Manager Veterinary ### "Lucky As A 4 Leaf Clover" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 December 18, 2025 After dealing with terminals that would shut down or restart randomly or glitch and end up charging a client multiple times, Clover has been a huge, HUGE change for the better. Customer service has always been quick to help and they are always positive and pleasant to speak with. Clients comment all the time how quick and hassle less check out is and our older clients love how visible the screens are. I will always highly recommend using Clover. Pros There are so many things that I love about Clover, from the ease of use, the simple and quick payment processing with card payments, the instant and ready to help customer support and just over all financial management. Cons So far, there has been nothing about Clover that I do not like. I have used several other credit card terminals and online platforms that are subpar compared to Clover. Switched from [Shepherd](https://www.capterra.com/p/172485/Shepherd-App/) Lower card processing fees for clients and ourselves and just a more ease of use.

Owner Tobacco ### "Clover is a ripoff" 1.0 Overall Rating 1.0 1.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 1.0 1.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 December 16, 2025 I liked it, however, if time comes back I will never use clover again. Premium money for a basic pos Pros Register was okay, modifiers and categories are a little messy. Good for restaurants because they don’t have to deal with barcodes. Inventory system is weak Cons Limited functionalities, many pos systems are way ahead of the game. i have had over 20 units throughout my business venture and I got to say, they are a ripoff. You buy system, if you move to another merchant you have to buy a new system. Money spent wasnt worth it.

BP Bill P. CEO Non-Profit Organization Management ### "Clover is a top notch payment processor!" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 November 25, 2025 Overall I like Clover better than other payment processors for value, ease of use, and ability to maintain mobile payments - but know that if you're using them across many stations, you will need early controls! Pros Clover is incredibly easy to use and intuitive based on other payment processors. It processes funds quickly, and is relatively easy to navigate sales through singular machines. Our clover machines move well across our campus. Cons Multiple clover machines can be difficult to navigate at the outset - especially when you get them over course of time. And as such, reporting internally on the machines can be skewed due to different machines being used simultaneously - that is NOT intuitive.

Owner Restaurants ### "My first POS sytsem" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 6/10 October 15, 2025 Ran with them for about 4 years, and while they were my first POS system, they just weren't a fit for our restaurant, System rarely crashed, and you could rely on it to print almost every time Pros Its design - It's sleek, and modern looking - the flex portable payment system is also out of the world. Cons The inability to customize things to our shoppe- The system itself is great, but it isn't geared towards restaurants, more retail.
