Businesses can expand functionality with optional accessories, such as cash drawers, kitchen printers, or external barcode scanners.

Fast, Secure, and Flexible Payment Acceptance

Clover Mini supports card payments from chip cards, credit and debit cards, and contactless payments like Apple Pay and Google Pay. It enables PIN entry, recurring payments, and certain credit card transactions. A wide range of internationally issued card types is supported, and merchants can accept payments both in-store and online.

Funding typically occurs by the next business day following credit review and approval, and CardConnect approves 98% of merchant applications, helping most businesses get up and running quickly. The device also allows businesses to process payments online through an integrated payment gateway.

For additional industry guidance, businesses can review the Federal Trade Commission’s rules for electronic payments.

Software and Apps to Support Business Operations

The Clover App Market includes hundreds of third-party applications that integrate with Clover software to strengthen business operations. Bundled apps manage inventory, reporting, taxes, employee permissions, refunds, and more. The Clover Dashboard enables owners to track sales, monitor trends, and manage customers from any device. Businesses can customize their software plan to match their workflow and goals.

How Clover Mini Compares to Other Clover Devices

Clover Station and Clover Station Solo deliver more screen space and power but require more counter space. Clover Flex offers full functionality in a handheld format with a built-in printer, while Clover Go provides a simple way to accept payments via smartphone. For businesses balancing functionality and space, Clover Mini provides the ideal middle ground. You can compare and contrast CardConnect’s suite of POS terminals here.
