Clover Go in Three Words: Simple, Secure and Affordable

Clover Go was introduced to the market in 2015 in order to appeal to the nontraditional businesses  - those that work outside of conventional store settings.  The affordable Point-of-Sale is a simple EMV-enabled credit and debit card reader that connects to a smart phone or tablet via the mobile device’s headphone jack – Simple, Secure and Affordable!

To use Clover Go, sellers download the Clover app onto an IOS or Android smart phone or tablet.  It connects over either WiFi or cellular network connection to accept payments.  The app lets you set the amount to be paid along with any taxes and even tips.   Business owners can also use the app to view any inventory transactions that have been made.  The app also allows a business owner to add as many employees and set preferences for each of them – it also allows users to “toggle” between different store locations which can come in handy!

“While the Clover platform serves businesses of all sizes, Clover Go is especially beneficial for businesses with mobile workforces or entrepreneurs just starting out who want to accept transactions while complying with the EMV liability shift,” Dan Charron, executive vice president and head of global business solutions at First Data, stated in a press release.

There are some features Clover Go offers that might make it a more appealing option for some small business owners.  First of all, Clover Go protects customer data with TransArmor, which uses encryption and tokenization to provide payment security.  Like the rest of the Clover Suite, a business owner can customize their Clover Go with other web-based apps from the Clover App Market.

The Clover Go is a game changer for many businesses that are not your traditional brick and mortar business.  It is also a great bridge for businesses that are in the infantry stages of accepting credit card payments.  At ApexPayment Solutions, we love to help our customers explore options that are best for them and helping the overall bottom line.  Ask us today, how Clover Go can be a viable option for you and your business!
