Daisy P.

Hair Stylist

“For example, if I have 5 minutes after each service, and a client books 3 services, it adds 15 minutes after their appointment when I only need the 5!”

Marcella E.

Esthetician

“I love all of the extra features like online booking but having the ability to approve them first, email marketing, automatic reminders, reminding me to write down formulas in my notes and most of all how easy it was to switch over.”

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.”

Heaven T.

Co-owner

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

Anything and everything

“It is not intuitive for example when searching for something if spacing or capitalization is off it will not find the item.”

Cons

“The huge difference between the prices gold level How to input the forms for pt to sign and acknowledge meaning I don’t want to add another program to connect the one that I’m currently using.”

Monique N.

Owner

“Not enough options for website layouts, no options to customize widgets on website in a different way, can’t leave a review on website, hard to sell bundles via website for clients to buy in their own”

“I don’t like that I can post the gift cards, that I can only load one pic at a time and that I can’t upload videos.”
