Service Manager Hospitality Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great for small cafes and shops" September 10, 2021 3.0 Clover offers affordability for small businesses that do very little processing. If you want a stable system and have relatively simple needs, Clover is a great option. Pros In comparison to its' competitors, Clover is by far the easiest POS system to learn. If you can succesfully operate a smartphone, you can manage Clover. This is an asset when dealing with staff who have relatively little POS experience. All of the categories are laid out simply, and everything can be customized with just a few steps. I also like the portability of the physical terminal. Cons Customer service is worst than nonexistent, they are just downright unprofessional. If you manage to reach someone, be prepared to be talked down to. Review Source KP Kristine P. Owner Food & Beverages Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Zero customer service" January 9, 2021 1.0 I’ve been with several Pos systems over the years and these guys take the cake at worst all around. Pros Nothing... I would never use this service again. They have out of country phone servicer’s who just “escalate” your case. It takes days and weeks to get information after wasted time making calls to them. Cons Customer service, not organized, no return calls, filled with apologies and excuses Switched from [Clover](https://www.capterra.com/p/226864/Clover/) Problems never get solved Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Business Consultant Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "It's like switching from a basic cell phone to an IPhone, without the cost increase" October 19, 2016 5.0 The Clover unit has made my day-to-day operation so much easier. There are so many free and or low cost apps available that I am always finding new ways to free up my time. I use apps to handle my sales tax collection and filing, my employee scheduling, my social media postings and my inventory. As I look at the app store, I imagine new ways I can use apps to make my life easier. When I went into business, I had no idea how time consuming it would be, Clover has given me so much of my time back. Pros App store Efficiency Support from my First Data rep Cons I should have done this years ago. Review Source LR London R. Owner Restaurants Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "less than one star" August 2, 2019 1.0 Pros none, would strongly advice against any partnership with clover as its terrible Cons Long story short I was promised these devices would accept a particular gift card which my restaurant used in the past which they were never able to get working despite that promise. I was told the range of the devices were great which within our small restaurant they kept dropping. One device also wouldn’t charge and when I called the support line was placed on hold for an hour and a half to which was then disconnected and no call back was made despite have my number, this is just a couple a issues we had in the one shift they were used, the list could go on and on. We used these devices literally once and since have been trying to return them. It’s been 7weeks and I can’t seem to get anyone to take the machines back from clover from paylidify or first data I've reached out to as many outlets as humanly possible. They are a leased device so I’ve been charged to have them sitting and collecting dust. I’ve sent 17email 27phone calls to the 1888 number 14 calls to the rep who signed us up 8 text messages with that person as well. I’ve now spoken with 11 different people giving me 11 different answers on returning them as to which I’ve jumped thru every hoop and have done all that was asked and still have the units. I’ve been promised 6 times boxes were coming for me to return them which still have yet to come. So currently still have the units which have been used once! Customer support is beyond terrible in fact arguably the worst I have ever experienced in my life! Was promi Review Source SF Shannan F. Owner Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Hands down worst company ever!" February 24, 2022 1.0 The worst company ever! Pros Nothing.................................. Cons Customer service is absolutely horrible! Will spend hours upon hours on the phone being transferred multiple times for every single issue(lots of issues) updates with no notice n screws everything up. Customer service is nil. Fees r just outrageous! Review Source JA Joe A. Owner Hospitality Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great Device" July 6, 2022 5.0 Very good experience Pros Extremely easy to use with a lot positive features Cons Was not great for salon purposes and everyday needs Alternatives considered [Square Payments](https://www.capterra.com/p/170278/Square-Payments-Processing/) Review Source KP Kelly P. Barista/Cashier Food & Beverages Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Ideal POS system for a food truck. " December 16, 2019 4.0 Overall a very positive experience! Great for foodservice and customer support has been able to quickly resolve issues whenever they came up. Pros The interface is clear, easily navigated and very editable to meet your needs. This has been ideal for our coffee truck that enjoys making custom, often complicated orders. Cons "Waking up" the system is a slow process, often takes us somewhere between 5 to 10 minutes every morning. Most days we have to do a full reboot in order to get things operational.

Cant switch because the buy out is 10,000.00 for something that costs 2000.00 at most. 3 Clover Minis ABSOLUTELY AWFUL! Pros Nothing The Product has NO pros no ease of use Absolutely Awful Cons The features are not in tune for a large restaurant with many employees, or any restaurant with waitstaff. The server can accidentally void a transaction easily and if you want to end that buy a feature. Server can work without clocking in want to stop that buy a Feature. Crazy That this product is doing so well Absolutely Awful Reason for choosing Clover Was forced by my bank going to sue them to get out of this contract absolutly AWFUL Review Source JL Jeremy L. Retired Military Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Clover" October 1, 2022 5.0 Pros Easy payment processing, rewards and loyalty program Cons Nothing to add nothing to subtract not too hard to use Review Source RF Robert F. Operations Manager Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Clover for Bicycle Retail" June 12, 2021 4.0 The implementation of Clover was very good and they are a tool for our business. But, their support knowledge base and service is not acceptable. Pros The POS tablets are very easy to use and train new staff on their operation. Also, set up of the tablets is fairly simple. The portal is fairly easy to navigate and once all accounts are set up, managing multiple locations is fairly simple. Cons Getting help on the portal and/or our accounts is like calling a government office...alot of menus, tedious, and it depends on who you talk to if they need a secret code, they pass you off, or maybe they can help. Review Source JL Jacqueline L. CSR Veterinary Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Clover " July 12, 2022 4.0 Pros The best part about this software is that the devices are wireless, during covid we were strictly curbside, no clients were allowed in the building and the clover was a lifesaver to be able to check people out outside. The clover website is easy to use and navigate and the handheld is very easy to use, I received no training on it and was able to figure it out. Cons I love this software, I cant think of anything different, I love that everyone has a different code so we can keep track if someone makes a mistake with charges. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Consultant Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Affordable Startup Cost, but You’ll Pay For it Later" May 23, 2021 1.0 Clover is one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had I a retail setting. We have pushed clients to look at the Square, Shopify or LightSpeed point of sale systems in its place. Pros Not much to like about Clover. It gets businesses with its cheap entry pricing and variable processing rates sound good but in reality it will bleed you dry. Cons Everything about Clover is just terrible. It’s a clunky Android user experience, the “apps” are just annoying upsells for features that should be built into the point of sale, and the payment processing can be expensive if you get a lot of AMEX and Discover cards. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer President Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Nice Product, Easy to Utilize, Great Features" May 7, 2019 5.0 Pros The software on the back end of the clover POS systems is very nice. Easy to use, ability to make changes very quickly, lots of features and additional add-ons available. Cons There is not much to dislike about this software, other than the inventory module is not included from the start. Review Source jI jeffrey I. Manager Hospitality Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "My best friend every day" February 19, 2021 5.0 Love the product, interface, features and reliability. No desire to change anything at this time. Pros I'm impressed with the ease of use and customizable features. My new employees are able to learn the system in a day or two. Thus far I've been able to create all the reports necessary for me to run the business. Cons My ability to quickly reach a technical support person was slightly difficult. However, once I reached the right person I was able to resolve my issues immediately! Reason for choosing Clover Cost, size of our business, look and feel and integration with our bank partner. Review Source KM Kaytlin M. Payment Specialist Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A modern processor ." March 23, 2021 5.0 Pros The interface has a futuresque feel to it . You have the option to input the information directly on the cloud and this is both more convenient and more efficient. Changes sync up instantly and people , thousands of miles from each other , can work on the same data in real time . Cons Singled out transactions come with a lot of additional data ,that for us personally is not necessary. This makes Clover not that printer-friendly when it comes to our specific niche . Refunding takes more effort than ideal . Review Source JW James W. Owner Restaurants Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Delayed Opening of new business" December 15, 2022 1.0 I am solving a business problem by kicking Clover to the curb Pros There was nothing I like about Clover honestly. Cons I disliked the companies deceiving methods. I was lied to from the very beginning. They lied about every aspect of the Clover process and hardware that I would be receiving. They entered my bank account number wrong into their system and that was an entirely new disaster. They sent me a new Clover system on top of the one already had, so they tried to charge me double monthly subscription fees. Oh, I didn't mention that once you buy the Clover system, and graciously give them a percentage of your sales, you still have to pay them a monthly subscription fee? So long Clover! Reason for choosing Clover It was a last minute decision, and I regret it! Review Source TE Teresa E. Accounting Manager Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Clover" September 20, 2022 2.0 Pros Easy to use, easy to install, handheld scanners Cons Inventory module is horrible, very easy for theft to occur at the register Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Merchandise Manager Sports Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great POS system and company" January 22, 2019 5.0 Pros Clover made it incredibly easy to conduct retail transactions. The simple interface and Clover POS systems are the most user friendly I've ever experienced. Cons Setting up my tax information was a little confusing, but a quick call to customer service cleared up any issues. Review Source KK Katey K. Operations Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "For accepting payments" October 28, 2020 4.0 Positive. Much easier than our last system. Just wish they weren't so expensive. Pros That it is portable and easy to use for people who are not tech savy. You can also take pictures of people if you need to when you take their payment. Cons How expensive it is to replace a machine that is out of it's warranty. Switched from [Number](https://www.capterra.com/p/78230/EASY-PAY/) I am not sure. My company made the choice to switch. Review Source KS Katie S. Office Manager Mental Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "This software & accompanying app are a good way to accept CC payments securely from remote locations" June 5, 2018 5.0 The reason why we choose this software was the hardware that allowed us to accept chips instead of a standard slide of a credit card which is much less secure. Also, because we have individuals accepting payments in remote locations, it was necessary to choose a device that could be used on cell phones or tablets. Pros What I like most about Clover is the ability to take payments on any Smart phone or tablet. Each user has a unique username and password that has certain functionality depending on the permissions given to the user which is necessary when multiple user types will be using the software. Cons What I like least about the software is that you must enter a person's name on the order because only sometimes does the card reader capture the card holder's name making it tough to manually reconcile registers after the fact. Also, the app has the option to use a pin number to avoid having to enter a username and password each time, but the app frequently shuts down when inputting the pin and forces the user to always enter their username and password. Review Source DP Deb P. Practice Manager Veterinary Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Meets all of our needs" May 20, 2021 5.0 Excellent experience. Quality equipment. Reasonably priced. Easy to reconcile to other financial reports. Pros Loved portable units. During the pandemic, our business was operating 100 % curbside. With the mobile units, it made checking out clients an easy process. Easy reporting. Cons We haven't found anything we do not like about Clover. We would highly recommend this to practices needing portable units. Reason for choosing Clover Most closely met our needs and very competitively priced. Review Source CW Christine W. Office Manager Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use with a lot of features" June 17, 2020 5.0 Clover is very easy to use and my staff enjoys using it. Pros The clover payment devices are touchscreen and very easy for our patients to use. You can accept a wide variety of payments including cash, credit, check, and apple pay. We use the clover mini as well as the clover flex. Cons Clover does not have a built-in recurring payment function that I am aware of. You need to add and app that comes with additional fees. Review Source MH MOHAMAD H. Owner Food & Beverages Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Bad online presence " December 1, 2020 3.0 Not great impression, especially given we were pushed to buy the hardware. Pros How does a POS during COVID TIMES, not include photos on the online menu? Clover takes the register’s inventory list that is made for in-house ease of ordering and makes a million item list as a “online menu”. Customers are expected to read through the menu like a newspaper. How is this a good marketing strategy? Seams like an ABC rule for any POS company to perfect, if not in normal times, it should be a priority to fix immediately. Cons Rep sold the system as competitive to Square. We bought it only because the rep promised to build an online website for ordering, like square does for free. We didn’t know we will be getting a newspaper list filled with items that are priced “ FREE” because the price depended on the size of the drink, “ a modifier” . Hiring a person to give this some thought at clover would be a plus.

March 9, 2021 5.0 We had dinosaur service prior to the Clover Mini, at least half of the time you would have to go online and key everything in because the reader didn't work. Clover feels and looks and acts like the rocket age! Pros We have a Clover mini in our offices. It is quite sharp looking, and sooooo intuitive to program for each office as well as use for check or charge, AND to research entries. It takes a little getting used to the icons, but they do make sense once you get used to it. Great instructions came with it for the set-up as well. Love it!!! Cons There is nothing I can think of that I do not like about this product, or that they could even improve upon! It is terrific! Review Source HA Hafiz A. Owner Restaurants Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Stay away from Clover" February 9, 2024 1.0 Pros I can't find any benefit of using this company, whenever you call, you have different answers for the same question again and again. Cons Stay away from Clover, they don\`t have an explanation about their charges, they take out money from your account at any time. The sales rep told me I could cancel my services at any time, but when I requested to cancel my services they said I have to pay $500 for cancelation. I have a very bad experience.
