What do you dislike about Clover?

API is not well documented and not displayed on website for engineers (as least when I integrated with them).

The product is not "hip", it not tailored towards engineers and engineers do not readily want to associate themselves with BluePay compared to Stripe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Clover?

What do you dislike about Clover?

I wish there was a bit more flexibility with the equipment. Being able to update from one processor to another could be helpful if needed. It would be nice if there was an approval process for that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Clover solving and how is that benefiting you?

Clover allows me to run my business clients how they need to be run. It's as simple or complex as you want it to be. The app market allows me access to customize the process for almost anyone Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Clover?

Clover makes it incredibly easy to run PCI compliance scans and generate compliance documents. As an end-user, I love that we can schedule our scans on a regular basis and then have them automatically transmitted to our merchant service provider. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Clover?

If you don't have any prior experience with web architecture or security scans, the interface can be a little difficult to understand. More robust help files and better click-paths would be a huge help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Clover solving and how is that benefiting you?

Clover handles our PCI compliance scans to make sure that our credit card processing network is secure and that we remain in compliance with the latest PCI regulations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to take payment. Easy to access payment data. Generally simple dashboard to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Clover?

Their setup process could be better. The codes needed to verify the account were glitchy at best. We don't use a clover device so some of the tutorials didn't apply in terms of refunding orders. We were coming off of PayEazy (acquired) and predominately needed a system provide return payments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Clover solving and how is that benefiting you?

Refunds for customer orders when an order is beyond the refund date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Clover?

Clover can be easy to setup. It doesn't take long to begin taking payments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Clover?

Pretty much everything else is a negative. It's hard to know where to start. To begin, you must know that they disallow the use of used equipment. That means if you're dissatisfied with Clover your equipment is pretty much bricked. You get nothing for it. Oh, and you will be dissatified with them. There are so many annoyances. Their batch is setup for 7pm PST, in the middle of a shift. Their deposits then combine multiple days with no report to know what days are in the deposit. You can't do partial refunds unless you're in their highest tier. I can almost never get a report on the device, I have to login on a computer. It goes on and on. Oh, and forget a "trial period" they don't honor it and won't allow you to return the equipment. Clover is just in it to get your money. They do not care about you as a customer, at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Clover solving and how is that benefiting you?

Not much other than allowing me to take payments, which there are plenty of other companies out there that will do it better than them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Clover?

The portable clover Unit allows us to hand off the device for signatures and do transactions without being stuck to a static desk or location. This is a significant benefit if we need to deliver a project to the customer and collect payment via hotspot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Clover?

I wish that the unit would be able to accept standard-size receipt papers so we don't have to use tiny ones. If the housing were larger at the end, which it already is, it would be perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Clover solving and how is that benefiting you?

It solves the need to hook up a static credit card machine to a LAN line or ethernet port. That way it eliminates the need to stay stuck to a signal point of sale, and we can be mobile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Clover?

It's a very reliable platform for handling a small business I would say, keeps inventory in order and is easy to use on a daily basis during Sales, returns and such Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Clover?

I wouldn't say dislike, but the lack of variants/child products integration kind of make it hard to organize, as we needed to enter the items as individual items even though they were part of a Parent Product Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Clover solving and how is that benefiting you?

Well all the manual work of doing conciliation and inventory management, Clover made it way easier for me and team mates, and its user friendly so our less tech savvy contributors were able to understand the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Clover?

I like that it walks you through each step and will let you know if you filled out a part incorrectly. I also like that it will show you what card you are using (Visa,Amex, etc.). I like all the options for how you can send a receipt. I usually email it to myself and will forward it to the homeowner. It makes it easier to accept payments over the phone if you are not currently set up to take online payments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Clover?

Only issues I've had is with logging in, but with the facial recognition it makes it no problem to log in. I also don't like that you can't run payments on their website, only able to do so in the mobile app. It might be something as simple as how I am set up on our company account, but other than that, its a great app to use for a company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Clover:

If you are hesitant to try it, don't be. It is very easy to use and is quick and easy. Sends receipt immediately or it will let you know its been declined. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Clover solving and how is that benefiting you?

Clover helps our company collect payments quicker, instead of having to wait for it to be mailed to our main office. It also helps gets the receipts over to the homeowner faster. Overall, it helps with time management, payables, and receivables. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
