Guides to help you evaluate Clover in context.
Key terms relevant to evaluating Clover.
Clover is manufactured by Fiserv, but it is sold through multiple channels: directly from Clover, through banks (including many regional and community banks), and through independent sales organizations (ISOs). This means the processing rates, software plan pricing, hardware pricing, and contract terms you receive can vary significantly depending on your source. Always compare offers from multiple channels.
Processing rates for Clover depend on the reseller or bank through which you purchase. Some channels offer flat-rate pricing; others offer interchange-plus. Because Clover is not a single-source product, there is no universal published rate. Verify processing rates directly with whichever entity is selling and processing through your Clover device.
Contract terms vary by sales channel. Some Clover setups sold through banks or ISOs include multi-year processing agreements and early termination fees — especially if hardware is financed. Read the full contract terms from your specific Clover seller carefully before signing.
The Clover App Market is an ecosystem of third-party apps that extend Clover's functionality — covering categories like payroll, loyalty, reservations, inventory, and reporting. Some apps are free; others carry additional monthly fees. Evaluate which apps you need and their costs before committing to the Clover platform.
Clover has restaurant-specific hardware configurations and software plans. However, dedicated restaurant platforms like Toast and Lightspeed Restaurant offer deeper food-service-specific features (table mapping, kitchen display integration, course firing). Whether Clover fits a restaurant depends on the complexity of the operation and the specific Clover plan purchased. Verify restaurant feature availability directly.
