Clover

Josh: Hi, my name is Josh. I'm a web designer. I would give Clover a five out of five. For more reviews like this, click below. I hadn't used anything. I just needed something to be able to, at trade shows and different places out and about, to have a payment processor, to be able to process payments for products and stuff that I was selling to customers. But at this point, I found that there was really nothing really that worked, that actually integrated with WooCommerce really well. So I decided to go to a different route, and just find something totally separate. Clover was the best one I found, due to how their payment structure works and working with real small businesses. So when I found that WooCommerce had really nothing that could work with a good outside processor for point of sale, I decided to look around and there were about three different ones I looked at. Clover had everything I needed. They had a real small portable unit that hooked to my phone. I could just real quickly type in the amount I needed someone to pay me, and we could run their card and it was super simple. And they had a payment plan that was basically nothing per month, and it was just fees for the actual payment processing. Little bit higher than their monthly fee, but when you use it so little, it's a fantastic plan for just using it once a month or a couple times a month to take payments for your products. Super simple to get started. They had some really good help for me with people over the phone. They were real nice and helpful and got everything going for me. I wasn't sure exactly what plan to go with, so they gave me a lot of pointers on what I should do, kind of where the costs would vary, depending on how much you're using it and which plan you actually did. It was a really easy setup. Basically, you can just get on their site and get your account going, all the standard information, and attach it to your bank account. Really not too hard at all. And then the last thing was the actual unit, the Clover unit. And all you do is, essentially, I believe it's Bluetooth, and it just connects straight to my phone. All we need to do is press the button that allows it to start syncing with the phone, and you can find it on there and you get the app and you're ready to go and put in your number, amount of money you want to actually charge, and run that card, and you're done. So the main advice I would have is just make sure you know what plan you want to get, and know how much you're actually going to use it. If you're only going to use it a few times, go with the free plan. No reason to actually pay when you're not really using it too much. So, that's the main thing. I'd probably run a card also before you actually go out, to actually try it, make sure it works. And then the last thing is at least have decent internet connection on your phone. So even if that's like a 4G or something. You can probably even use it with a 3G, but probably work a lot better with better internet connections.
