What Clover Go is

Clover Go is a mobile point-of-sale system that pairs a portable card reader with a phone or tablet. It accepts chip, dip, and contactless payments, including Tap-to-Pay on iPhone and payments through Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay. The app lets users open, edit, or delete items, defer payment, add tips, process full or partial refunds, and manage returns and exchanges. It works over Wi-Fi or cellular and can accept payments offline for later authorization. The reader works with iOS 15 or higher and Android 9.0 or higher devices; iOS requires Bluetooth LE. It does not function on jailbroken or rooted devices. Digital receipts can be stored and sent by email or text, and outstanding balances can be tracked. All plans include 24/7 support. Clover Security Plus uses end-to-end encryption and tokenization, and includes a PCI compliance wizard and additional breach-liability coverage. Qualified new merchants may receive no SaaS subscription fees during a 90-day trial of Clover Essentials or Services Growth plans. Pricing is available on request.
