Reviews of Clover
Clover Review
Comments: Clover is very easy to use, doesn't take much space and it makes paying for merchandise and services fast and easy.
Pros:
It's very easy to use, and I love how it accepts so many kinds of credit cards and forms of payments!
Cons:
I don't like how sometimes it will take a few tries to read a card, which can make customers desperate and annoyed.

My Clover Review & Experience
Pros:
I liked the POS system however it has a learning curve. After playing around with it for a couple weeks I was able to better navigate the device. It was a very easy setup.
Cons:
Not what I thought it was going to be like. I was not informed of the additional charges and App Store fee. It was difficult to integrate online booking and salon management with this system. I ultimately had to change. I think it is a wonderful system for maybe a restaurant or other type of business not for salons or spas - in my opinion.
Clover Merchant Processing
Comments: So far so good. We've been using them since 2017.
Pros:
All the information that I need is easy to see on the dashboard. Their devices look slick, modern, & hi-tech.
Cons:
Their terminals are expensive. They no longer allow payment requests/invoicing for healthcare offices.
Alternatives Considered:
Clover is fraud
Comments: it is a total disaster, double charge came, and support saying no, you were charged just once
Pros:
it is a fraud, with mistakes of double charges, which you spend hours to fix, talking to absolutely unprofessional support
Cons:
everything, support is awful, and you spend precious time being transferred from one person to another with no help
Best restaurant POS system that can be fully customized
Comments: Honestly the best POS system I have used and I have used many in different establishments within hospitality. Clover has been the most reliable and consistent, and not to mention the most versatile and customizable. Oh and the POS machines look aesthetically pleasing too!
Pros:
Incredibly easy to navigate and simple interface. Love how Clover has the ability to do everything as a restaurant POS including placing orders, taking payments, integrating a reservation/waitlist option, and even a camera option, which allows for digital QR codes/gift cards to be purchased or applied as payments towards order.
Cons:
In my 2+ years of using Clover, I haven't identified any cons. The only minor issue I have noticed it connectivity issues on occasion but that is expected with POS systems and also may not be specifically related to Clover.
