Frequently Asked Questions

What types of payments can I accept?

You can accept all major forms of payment, including EMV chip cards, contactless tap-to-pay (NFC), mobile wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay, traditional magstripe swipes, gift cards, and manual key-in entries. Some systems also support EBT, checks, and installment payments, depending on your business needs.

How fast are payments processed?

Payments are processed in real time—typically within seconds—whether it’s a swipe, chip insert, tap, or mobile wallet. Fast processing means shorter wait times, smoother customer flow, and more efficient checkout during peak hours.

Can I take payments during an internet outage?

Yes. Many modern retail POS systems, including Clover, offer offline mode or built-in 4G/LTE options. This allows you to continue taking secure payments even if your Wi-Fi is temporarily down—so your sales don’t stop when your signal does.

Does the system support tipping and split payments?

Yes. While tipping is more common in service businesses, retail systems can enable it for boutique or specialty shops. Most systems also support split payments—letting customers pay with multiple cards, cash plus card, or even combine gift cards with credit.

Is the setup easy for retail environments?

Definitely. Retail POS systems are designed to work right out of the box. Setup typically takes less than an hour and includes everything from connecting barcode scanners to syncing inventory. With intuitive interfaces, training staff is quick and easy too.

Can I track inventory and sales in real time?

Yes. You’ll have access to real-time inventory tracking, product-level reporting, and daily sales summaries—directly from your POS or mobile dashboard. Automatic updates help you reduce stockouts, manage reorders, and spot top-selling items quickly.

Can I manage multiple locations or registers?

Absolutely. Most systems scale with your business, allowing you to manage multiple stores, registers, or kiosks from one centralized dashboard. This makes it easy to track performance, standardize pricing, and control inventory across all locations.

Are receipts printed or digital?

You can offer both. Customers can receive a printed receipt, a text receipt, or an emailed version—based on their preference. This flexibility enhances the customer experience and helps build your email list for future marketing.
