dont ever trust a company that puts you on flat rate pricing. every business should use interchange plus unless you are surcharging.
Thanks for your information! it's great!
Thank you, Tilly! We are so happy you're enjoying it.
Great review. Thanks! 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for stopping by our channel today!
thank you !!!
Thanks for the info, been browsing some of your videos. Currently use clover but considering switching to possibly lightspeed or square. The business does about 20-30k in credit transactions a month. Do you have a recommendation? Our clover mini broke twice in a year which is why we're considering switching. May stick with clover and go with the POS register system
Hi and thanks for visiting! With that volume, we typically recommend a traditional merchant account over Square because you may be able to get a lower processing rate. That being said, Square's suite of tools oftentimes makes up for it because they are just that robust! We are still updating our posts, but take note that Square for Retail now has a free version as well. Take a look at our Square Equipment guide to learn more: www.merchantmaverick.com/a-guide-to-square-credit-card-readers-and-pos-bundles/
Very well explained and informative, will greatly help people that are looking to get this system.
Thanks for stopping by!
Thank you for the review!
What POS brand would you recommend for a private boxing gym? Recovering from covid-19 small business with current revenue under 10k for this year.
Hi, and thanks for trusting us with your questions. Revenue under 10K/year is probably not the best fit for traditional merchant accounts, as they usually require much higher monthly volume.
Fortunately, you have some other options if you go with a third-party processor like Square. With the free Square POS app and reader, you can process any type of sale, and if you're looking for equipment, you do have lots of options. Here's our Square POS post to learn more if you're interested: www.merchantmaverick.com/reviews/square-pos-review/ Best of luck on growth this coming year!!
Hello Manager. Which Clover model would you recommend for a new Taekwondo school? Clover go, flex or mini? As introduced in the video, it can be simply used if buying a Clover Go as card reader and plug it in my Android phone? Or I can buy flex or mini for daily operation? Am I right? Thank you for attention!
Hi Imiz! Thanks for your question. For an in-person business, our recommendation would be a Clover Mini. The Clover Flex and Go are more for mobile purposes.
Clover now has Clover Direct where you can buy directly from the Clover team.
Hi and thanks for stopping in to our channel! Did you purchase from the Clover team? If so, how was your experience?
which clover product do you recommend I sell pastries on pop up events thank you
Hi John! The Station Pro is equipped for LTE/4G connectivity for mobile businesses such as food trucks. That may be what you are looking for: www.merchantmaverick.com/reviews/clover-station-pos-review/
What's the difference between using it with a reliable bank vs the vendors you posted as "better"?
Great question! Unfortunately, some (above-mentioned) vendors offer less than ideal terms of service and fees.

Which clover to you recommend for a fishing tackle shop?
Hi there! It's really hard to say just because we don't know much about your business + your business needs. We encourage you to check out our Complete Clover Pricing Guide: www.merchantmaverick.com/clover-pos-cost/#Clover_POS_Pricing_For_Hardware. Within our guide, you'll find a pricing guide for the Clover hardware options. We hope this helps!
Hello,
I’m looking to start an online business no store front just e-commerce. The financial institution bank ozk directed me to clover for merchant services but I couldn’t find the info on how much it would be for my business. Do I need a pos device? I’m just getting started. Any recommendations? Thank you
Hey there, All Thing NuNu - That's so exciting! To answer your question, if you're looking to start an online business only (no storefront) then you do not need POS hardware. However, you'll still need POS software to accept payments! But there's so much more to POS systems than just selling products & accepting payments. They also help you track and order inventory, process orders, analyze sales, and so much more!
For an overview of POS software, check out our reviews: www.merchantmaverick.com/review-category/pos-software/
You can also check out our article sharing the 10 best POS systems for small businesses in 2022 here: www.merchantmaverick.com/best-pos-systems-for-small-business/
We hope this helps. Best of luck!
I found 8 clover flexes left in a restaurant that closed. Is it possible to sell these or reprogram them?
Hi Steven,
We really don't advise reselling these or buying them from a reseller, and unfortunately, Clover doesn't allow reprogramming. You can find out more in this post:

Can we accept gas card payments
Hello! Great question. We had to do a little research & based off of what we found, this resource indicates not: “While Clover doesn’t currently offer gas station credit card processing and fleet card merchant services..."

Anyone ever deal with a 90 cent transaction fee per credit card swipe?

Hi, Mina! Here is our full Clover POS review so that you can determine if this system would fit your needs: www.merchantmaverick.com/reviews/clover-pos-system-review/
Can this be used outside of the USA?
Hi, Antandra! Thanks so much for your question. As far as the resellers we mention, it looks like National Processing is available in Canada. Clover also has a Canadian sales office. Here is a post that lists the best merchant account providers for international sellers, and that way you have more options beyond these with Clover: www.merchantmaverick.com/international-merchant-services/ We hope this helps and best of luck!
You don’t recommend leasing a POS? What happens if the pos breaks or stops working? Than the merchant has to rebuy it. With a lease it covered.
Hey Average Joe!
There are a few reasons we don’t recommend leasing equipment. For starters, equipment leases are designed to generate easy, guaranteed profits for the provider. They’re not intended to be a good deal for the merchant. Also, most providers who offer leased equipment will sign you up for a long-term contract (typically for four years) that is completely and utterly noncancelable no matter the circumstances. We have a whole article where we go over leasing equipment in-depth! We encourage you to check it out: www.merchantmaverick.com/lease-credit-card-machine/#Why_Leasing_Is_The_Worst_Option_For_Financing_Credit_Card_Machines. Thanks for stopping by!
@@MerchantMaverick I lease probably 90% of all my sales. Do I make commission? Of course! However, being we are a family owned merchant services company we don’t take advantage of our merchants. We lease cheaper than all of our competitors. We are a preferred clover seller so you get the clover pos with our customer service. No automated 1-800 recordings. You call us you get our family and team members.
These machines are electronics, things happen and stop working. Leases have you covered. I had a guys mini go out, we filed the proper paperwork that took 3 mins and fiserv overnited him a new mini. Leases definitely have benefits.
@@MerchantMaverick I have a bar doing $65,000 a month. He was with his bank at 3% paying like $1,900 a month. I cold called him explained the benefits of Clover and he loved it. He went from $1900 a month to our cash discount program. He pays $100 a month for a clover duo and the $75 dining fee. So $175 a month and his machines are covered. That’s a huge win for that business.
@@Evojoe1 Hey Joe! We're happy to hear you've had positive leasing experiences.
What is a good POS for a butcher shop?
Hi, Mahmoud! Clover could be a great option for your butcher shop, but we recommend reading the full review for each before making a decision based on your needs. You'll find the links in the description. Best of luck on your search!
Do I need a computer for the Pro?
Hi V.J.! The Pro (now called the Duo) does not require a computer. The Clover Station Duo comes with all the hardware you'll need to get started.
Can you buy a used clover ?
Don’t buy it . Trust me in the end of the month you will find they get 24% on your sell
Hi Dama! We cover this topic in-depth here: www.merchantmaverick.com/beware-of-clover-station-pos-scams/
But, the short answer to your question is no. Here is a brief excerpt from the article to help explain:
"Generally speaking, many merchant services providers can reprogram traditional terminals so you can reuse equipment. Clover doesn’t allow that-your device is locked to whatever merchant services provider you got the machine from. No reprogramming means you can’t buy a used device. This also means you can’t just buy a cheap machine on eBay or Amazon and take it to your MSP and let them reprogram it. So why is that a problem? The problem with an un-reprogrammable system is that you will be stuck with whichever merchant services provider you buy your Clover from."
Why do you not recommend buying clover from reseller?
Hi, Andrew! Since the quality of services varies so much, we just urge you to use caution. For instance, some merchant providers require you to sign a long lease where you'll end up paying a lot more than the sticker price, and you'll get stuck in a contract. For that reason, the only Clover resellers we currently recommend are these vendors we've reviewed: Payment Depot, Dharma Merchant Services, and National Processing. You'll find these resources linked in our description. Hope this helps, and best of luck!
So not any better than Square.
Clover is garbage. Don’t use them. You’re better off using a calculator and a paper.
Clover is junk
What about it didn't you like, Round One? We'll take the good, bad, and ugly feedback because it helps us understand your challenges when creating content!
Crappy equipment, hidden fees, horrible bank partners, fees for not using the equipment, proprietary hardware, no inventory tracking until you pay up etc etc....better question is what is to like about Clover?
@@brettb4452 Thank you for sharing! And we are so sorry to hear you had such a negative experience.
Colver is absolutely trash
We understand Clover is not the perfect POS system for everyone. If you're looking for an alternative option, we encourage you to check out our blog post on the best Clover alternatives and competitors. Best of luck! www.merchantmaverick.com/the-best-alternatives-clover-pos/
