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.

My overall experience with this company is not good. They have been unhelpful very spiteful and no communication at all. Most of them can’t even speak English.
Pros: Still as not been out come Only thing I liked about the machine it was quick I don’t know what else to say about this company very unhappy with them
Cons: I have still not seen a deposit yet and they have lost my money. This is not acceptable very unhappy with this company.
Kevin P. · Owner Doctor · Hospital & Health Care · April 28, 2026
Overall I can say that I love Clover. It is super easy to use and it definitely helps that you can use Tap To Pay with it since that it something that we as a society are seeing more and more nowadays. I will continue to use Clover and upgrade it for a long time and I definitely recommend it to every business!
Pros: I like that Clover is super easy to use and navigate. It keeps everything organized for you and it is quick for payment processing, financial management, sales, and inventory management! It has an amazing value for your money and the customer support is also a huge plus!
Cons: The only thing I could say that I dislike about it is only when we accidentally forget to put the device on the charger correctly because sometimes it can be tricky, and it does not always get charged, but that is mostly user error.

Pros: I like how Clover makes it easier to integrate with other 3rd party providers lets say with Uber, Doordash etc. Another thing I loved about Clover is how they has a very friendly, easy to use dashboard and a mobile app.
Cons: The synchronization issues between the Clover and the third party plugins was something we constantly faced issue with. Other than that, I love this product.
Swagat G. · IT Administrator · Retail · April 9, 2026
Overall I would never use it willingly. It’s awful and really doesn’t work for you. There are better options out there and they don’t charge you for information like clover does.
Pros: I liked that I could use clover to make production sheets for my staff but even that couldn’t be completely accurate due to clovers programming. It cannot convert ounces into pounds etc and you can’t use half numbers.
Cons: It is not intuitive for example when searching for something if spacing or capitalization is off it will not find the item. Also when entering inventory it will not let you use halves making things less accurate. It is a very clunky system and the running joke in the office was just hit refresh because clover will not update itself. It takes forever to enter data too unless you have them do it which they charge you for.
Mallory T. · Executive sous chef · Food & Beverages · April 7, 2026
A true lifesaver for a seamless payment process at events large and small. 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!
Mai M. · Managing Director · Hospitality · March 26, 2026
Overall, 9/10 rating! 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! Clients really like this option
Cons: The newer reader is a bit larger and did not come with the protective sleeve, so hoepfully they do not get dropped
Jennifer H. · Office Administrator · Veterinary · March 24, 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
Tiffany L. · Anything and everything · Food Production · March 23, 2026
Our experience has been a positive one. 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.
Cons: I really don’t have any complaints. It has been a smooth transition and we have been happy with the product.
Hilary C. · Bookstore Director · Non-Profit Organization Management · March 19, 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: $90
David H. · Owner · Restaurants · February 1, 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.
Rachael M. · Server · Food & Beverages · January 18, 2026
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.
Amanda G. · Practice Manager · Veterinary · December 18, 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.
Elias T. · Owner · Tobacco · December 16, 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.
Bill P. · CEO · Non-Profit Organization Management · November 25, 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.
Sean D. · Owner · Restaurants · October 15, 2025
Me di de baja. Me siguieron descontando un año más y es misión imposible que me devuelvan el dinero....
Pros: No me gustó nada. Caro, ningún beneficio, tardan los depositos..
Cons: Reintegran tarde, es caro,.
Guillermo L. · Titular · Textiles · September 8, 2025
Don’t see myself changing the system or hardware anytime soon. Satisfied with both and it gives the store a modern look compared to old registers.
Pros: It allows me to keep track of inventory and sales on a daily basis even when im away from the store. It also compares sales from a week before and months before.
Cons: When making a sale it will apply it to the person that is logged in but sometimes the sale is split and there is no way to put two employees.
Criselen V. · Owner · Apparel & Fashion · August 29, 2025
Overall, clover was easy to use, easy to interact with the clients with and kept the clean, digital look of our salon without a bulky, outdated POS system
Pros: Clover is easy to use, makes payment processing super simple and has a great customer support if you ever need it. Having a more digital point of sale helps with the customers as well when completing their sales.
Cons: We had to type in the amount of the transaction which would sometimes result in an incorrect amount being charged to the client instead of connecting with our software to pull up the amount automatically.
Leah F. · Manager · Cosmetics · August 21, 2025
Cons: I wanna leave a review about you worker NAI or NAY, he was very root on the phone, I asked hen few times for confirmation email, he sad to me he can’t do that and I asked to transfer me to the Menager, also he did ignore me and put me on hold for long time and didn’t come back, terrible customer service and support!!!
Mariana C. · Owner · Retail · August 18, 2025
bad service bad service unit failed and they did not replace failed unit I switched services and they kept charging me , It is impossible to cancel without supreme run around and they tried to phish me for more info to give me a bonus !))bucks for cancelling but i had to switch to another recorded line to give my bank info they already should have had
Pros: was recommended by a banker because it was less bad than others ,However she said it was more expensive
Cons: Cannot get customer service to help cancelling my Clover service fee even iI stopped using it 3 years ago and they put me on hold I was still charged monthly fee me Chat helper gives another phone number when you want to cancel, They cannot cancel (they still charge you )and cancellation attempts leads you to call center that wants to update your banking info so they can give you 100 $. bonus for cancelling Too sketchy and they still do not cancel ,
thomas m. · pres · Medical Devices · August 14, 2025
My experience with Clover was generally positive in terms of usability and ease of training. However, the platform lacks important features compared to its competitors, and I’ve seen multiple clients migrate away from it. Unfortunately, I no longer recommend Clover to my clients as I once did.
Pros: I found Clover to be a relatively simple system to use, with an intuitive interface that makes staff training quick and easy.
Cons: Clover feels significantly behind its competitors. I used it with three different clients, and all of them eventually switched to other systems. It lacks many features that have already been standard in other platforms for quite some time.
Marcelo M. · CEO · Management Consulting · August 4, 2025
The hard ware of the system, was nice. If you are a new business owner and you will not have a loyalty program then this will work for you. If you are a current business with a loyalty program THIS IS NOT THE POS FOR YOU.
Pros: The easy and look of the actual system, card reader, customer reader, receipt, and the sale screen was really nice and easy to work with. However I only work with it for 3 days, then I was DONE with Clover.
Cons: $91
Jen S. · Manager · Retail · July 30, 2025
Clover has been the single worst decision I’ve made for my restaurant. Their system is a complete joke — it does NOT integrate with DoorDash or Uber Eats the way they claim. You can’t even change your prices or modifiers for those platforms, which is a critical part of surviving in the food industry. AND THEY ARE WITH HOLDING MY INFORMATION!
Pros: The customer app is the only good thing that clover has going for it. Other than the app, they are use less!
Cons: Clover is withholding MY customer rewards data. I’ve spent $800 over the last 8 months entering my customers’ info and rewards points into THEIR system. Now that I’m switching to Square, they REFUSE to release that information — MY information — like they somehow own
Mikayla M. · Owner · Restaurants · July 29, 2025
I use clover daily in my practice. I use it to keep up to date with my clients, their schedules and appointments. I also use it to help facilitate reviews for my Google page
Pros: Clover is a great program for people in the law profession. It is incredibly easy to use for clients and compatible to other softwares.
Cons: I honestly don't have anything bad to say about clover. It has been nothing but helpful in my practice.
Sammy M. · Admin · Law Practice · July 13, 2025
Pros: Clover was never a problem for me at all. The looking at previous transactions aspect was very helpful for us.
Cons: The only real problem I had with clover was the offline payment processing and sometimes it wouldn’t go through after the internet came back on.
Anonymous User · Manager · Veterinary · July 13, 2025
I’ve been with clover for 2 years and I sold my business and they told me I either have to refer someone to them or pay the 500$ penalty which I got them a customer and they told me I’m good to cancel without any penalty and apparently that person charged he’s mind and canceled with them and got charged 250$ and they changed their mind and told me I have to pay 500$ so not fair That was really bad for their reputation I don’t recommend clover at all
Pros: There was nothing to like about clover the only good thing was that they gave me the machine fast that’s it
Cons: The long contracts and the fact there is no one really fair to care for small businesses and also everyone has very strong accent and hard to understand
