Cons

“I would not recommend signing up with Clover POS. If you’re considering it, read the contract extremely carefully and make sure you fully understand the cancellation, equipment rental, and long-term fee obligations before you sign anything.”

“A duplicate charge caused by clover system during a service outage cannot be refunded—by me or by their support team.”
