With clover you can’t go wrong

I opened a store in the local mall with very little time for buildout and hire let alone learn then train new staff on a POS system I didn’t know myself yet. But thankfully the equipment came on time and was such a breeze to learn that I thanked them then and I thank them now

Pros

Ease of use. I have a retail store and some of the employees are a bit older and some are high school age. But no matter what group they fall in they all get the flow of the system

Cons

The processing charges. I’m not going to lie for anyone. The ease of use is offset by the cost of use. But still well worth it.

Reasons for Switching to Clover

All the extra bells and whistles. Plus it is a lot more attractive than the competition

The machine works fine but customer service is terrible

Have made 4 calls with extreme wait times each time. I was tossed around from person to person and never got anywhere. After an hour of waiting and re-explaining the reason for my call, the line went dead. They ask for a call back# in case you get disconnected but no one has ever called me back. I scheduled a call back and never received it. It is difficult to communicate with many representatives. When you call, it is no surprise that they have to mention they won't tolerate abusive behavior. Very frustrating experience. There was a miscommunication and a device was sent to me in error and charged to an account that it should not have been charged to. When I called they said it couldn't be returned or refunded. When I got transferred to yet another dept, the line went dead. Now what?

Pros

The machine and online dashboard work well and are easy to use.

Cons

The phone support is atrocious. Getting through to someone is a lengthy process and the technology doesn't always function as it should. My calls were disconnected and no one has ever followed up with me, so I go through the process all over again. It is still unresolved.

not recommend it

the overall experience was marred by high fees and poor customer service. The setup was smooth initially, but the customer service was slow and unhelpful. I was not adequately informed about charges, and I had to make three calls to speak with the right agent to resolve the issue and cancel the service.

Pros

Honestly that I do not have like most about clover... I have a bad Experience ..

Cons

at least is simple and simple.. however there are better one Than this.. I would not recommend it

Clover Review

We switch ed from Quickbooks POS to Clover years ago. Clover has been great! It was easy to load all inventory from a spread sheet. A few items needed correction after transfer but for the most part the transition was incredibly easy. It also has saved us a ton of money with the credit card processing fee feature. I like it and do refer it to friends and others in business.

Pros

I currently use Clover for my retail wholesale business. I have multiple locations. The system works great for us!

Cons

Backend work generally requires a call to customer service. But for the most part it is easy to use.
