Getting a new Clover system
To get started with Clover, the first step is to purchase a Clover device. Browse the Shop to find the right option for your business. When ordering your hardware, you will also be required to apply online for a merchant processing account. The online application has a quick approval process, and our devices arrive payments-ready, so that you can start accepting credit cards as soon as your system arrives.
You can also sign up for a Clover Account only, which does not require you to purchase hardware. Instead, you can use our Virtual Terminal through a web browser on your PC, smartphone, or tablet to accept credit card payments.
The speed of deposits varies based on the bank where your business checking account is held. Deposits typically take 1-3 days, but many businesses will see their funds deposited the next business day.
Each one of our Clover partners strives to provide merchants with the best plans and pricing for their individual business needs. However, there are other entities, found on eBay and elsewhere, advertising Clover at low prices despite not being genuine Clover partners. Such offers should be approached with caution. While Clover POS devices may be purchased or leased from other entities, they cannot be used with other payment processors.
