Clover, the POS payment solution for our transactions

Thanks to the security and efficiency provided by Clover we can manage our payment system in a faster and more automated way, by using their electronic devices we have significantly improved the speed of our deliveries and the boost it generates to the attention of potential customers. The customer service was always friendly and helped us in different occasions with problems that we could not solve, in addition to maintaining a virtual guide during all the steps of the process of adaptation to the company. Sometimes they were slow to attend and it was a bit annoying because you always expect good service, but when they did attend they always provided solutions. Clover has been for us a big step forward, with their devices we could have a plus of novelty in our business, in addition to the reliability of its operations keeps us constantly informed with accurate reports, although you must learn to use correctly to avoid errors that hinder the experience and can generate changes in accounting that can then be very annoying.<div><br></div>
  • Clover's POS system and its line of point-of-sale devices guarantees secure money transactions, allowing our customers to place their orders and payments quickly through any available means, promoting self-service and generating a positive impact on customer service.
  • Because Clover devices are based on Android, their interface and functionality is very similar to that of current cell phones, highlighting a greater ergonomics when using the software for both consumers and users.
  • Clover integrates in its operation an inventory control system that is updated in each transaction, this allows the user to have more attention in the replenishment of stocks, thus helping to avoid the inventory losses and allowing to calculate in real time the profitability and rotation of the product instantly.
Cons
  • One of the things I liked least about Clover is that from the first moment you have to use one of their electronic equipment, and generate a contract that in the future is very expensive to abandon, however we still continue with the service.
  • Clover could have a greater number of tools for small companies, because the ones it has are intended for large companies, it can generate that small companies can not finish using each tool of the software in question.
  • The operating system is already a bit old, based on Android 4.4 can present failures and moments of slowness when it is overloaded, which increases waiting times and makes us have to restart the devices constantly, this after a constant time in use.
Clover is a very useful tool for places where a product is going to be offered on a constant basis, as it allows you to manage inventories, order requests and the collection system efficiently, keeping billing and income information up to date. It is suitable for the addition of new products, allowing the customer to see different items at any time, and through a touch screen can take their order, make changes or simply make payment using their credit card quickly and securely. I don't see it working well in a company with few workers, because of the capacity of the functions that Clover has, they won't be able to take advantage of them correctly and will end up making limited use of it.

Great for Consistent Business

We currently use Clover in our Country Market & Cafe as our POS system to handle sales, generate reports, and track inventory. Our accounting department is then able to use the data generated to keep track of the numbers and the Retail Manager is able to decide what to order based on how sales are going.
  • Clover has an excellent POS system with several add-on pieces of equipment available. Many many features to fit all business needs
  • Very easy to use, and even has an online login where you can edit inventory and settings, as well as get real time reports
  • Inventory control, offline mode, and customer information storage are also wonderful tools to help you keep up with your business
  • Reports! The reports are great!!
Cons
  • Pricing and contracts. When we first decided to use Clover we were required to use their equipment and have a contract. Their monthly fees are a bit high
  • Customer service needs some improvement. A lot of what we have learned we figured out on our own.
  • You have to use their equipment. They don't have an app you can put on any device
Clover is good if you are going to have consistent business all year long, wish to have inventory control, and have a reliable internet connection. We also use it in our cafe, which is great because you can customize things and print an "order" receipt, which is what the chef uses to make the order. It definitely needs to be in a stable environment with an actual table or counter.

Clover is a great and cheap way to have an effective POS system up and running, without having to outlay a large amount of startup capital on your till system. I have seen too many young companies fail in the initial months having spent too much on POS and other shop fittings etc. Clover helps in this respect.
  • Low cost
  • Very user friendly
  • EFTPOS included
Cons
  • Not geared towards larger organisations
  • Not many areas of customisation
  • Little third party add ons
If the opening budget for a shop is tight, Clover can help keep this in check with the bundled method of billing each month that can be applied. There is also the small learning curve which means that you do not have a large training program to undertake to use Clover.

Clover is great!

Right now Clover is just being used by one department. It is being used by my department (Finance/Accounting) and we use it to receive discounts from local businesses.
  • Clover is great for finding local businesses around you.
  • Clover is also great for receiving discounts or promotions from these local businesses.
Cons
  • The setup of the app could use some improvement.
  • I feel like the app is a little confusing to navigate.
  • This may be difficult for older users who are not as comfortable or savvy in an app setting.
Clover is well suited in situations where you'd want to support businesses around you while receiving the promotion or discount they have on the app. It also is well suited for companies who often purchase from these stores or restaurants and want to save a little money from time to time.

Our organization used BluePay as our sole credit card processor for receiving donations as a non-profit. At the time we began using them, they were the only processor available to work with Bloomerang, our previous CRM.
  • Detailed transaction reports
  • Robust transaction search feature
Cons
  • Customer service
  • Internal communication and organization
BluePay certainly got the job done. Our transactions were processed. But the layout of their two sites (BluePay and CardPointe) and the customer service confusion between the two was challenging to navigate. We also found that their follow up communication was lacking. They even failed to get back to us multiple times regarding their own rented equipment, and we were unable to return an item to them until nearly a year later. And we were never charged even for the initial rental. That was just one example of how their internal communication and organization were lacking.
