FIRST-HAND READS

What people reported, in their own words. Every line links to where it was said.

  • “a Clover Trail with a PowerVR GPU (I thought I was getting an intel GPU because it was branded Intel Graphics or similar, but nope!) that lost Windows support very quickly after launch, and has no GPU drivers for any other OS”

  • “I'll never use clover again, especially when they ask me to pay the fee if I want to show the tax how much I change in the receipt, it very dumb, it feel like I got fool after I bought the machine”

  • “Clover is a great system IF you get it from a great sales person.”

  • “The only problem is Clover - likely something could be set up custom (I can check to see if they have a native integration) but they're just a payment processor”

    NEGATIVE · integration · Reddit · 2025-05-15

  • “it is not suitable for dinning-in restaurants. It looks like it can do it until you have it. Support is non existing - reporting is very basic - not worth it. Data drives our business and that is not available with Clover. The data is there, but you can't access it. The KDS is a joke - no use for it - it is lying somewhere in a cupboard. After 3 years I gave up”

    NEGATIVE · features · Reddit · 2025-04-14

  • “Trying to get customer support from clover is usually a nightmare.”

    NEGATIVE · support · Reddit · 2025-04-10

    NEGATIVE · performance · Reddit · 2025-03-10

  • “Clover POS system the integrated its data into QB. It was flawless!!!”

    POSITIVE · integration · Reddit · 2025-02-14

    NEGATIVE · reliability · Reddit · 2025-02-07

    NEGATIVE · Reddit · 2025-02-04
