Clover Online Store Supports Business Owners
with Professional-Looking Website that Accepts Payments
Fully Developed on the Clover Open API
For many people, their first interaction with a company is a
virtual connection. That first impression – typically in the form
of a website – says a lot about a business and must convey
professionalism, competence, and security. Small business owners
understand the importance of an online presence, but the thought of
building and maintaining a website can be daunting. That’s why
First Data (NYSE: FDC), a global leader in commerce-enabling
technology, is launching Clover Online Store, a comprehensive
online solution that manages everything from website design to
creating a virtual shopping cart, all while facilitating safe,
secure transactions. Clover Online Store will be available
beginning in May and will be offered free to business owners
through the end of 2016.
The integration between Clover Online Store and a Clover POS
device allows a business owner to monitor sales on one platform
regardless of whether the transactions take place online or
in-store. With Clover Online Store, business owners can give their
customers the omnichannel shopping experience that customers expect
today.
“Clover Online Store provides business owners with an
‘all-in-one’ integrated solution that includes shopping cart
functionality, web design and all of the business management
features that come with Clover,” said Guy Chiarello, President,
First Data. “Better yet, Clover Online Store is backed by First
Data, the eCommerce industry leader that powers 28% of global
online transactions.”
From the moment users log in to the Clover Online Store, they
are greeted with simple directions to guide them as they set up
their website. Next, business owners can peruse a wide variety of
professionally-designed templates and pick the design that best
fits their business. The shopping cart function is built directly
into the web design, meaning businesses can begin to accept
payments right away.
Clover Online Store also features:
- Clover™ Security data protection
technology which keeps transactions secure
- Automatic search engine optimization,
so customers can easily find a business online
- Mobile-friendly platform, meaning the
websites are optimized for use across tablets, smartphones and
laptops
- Simple integration of shipping charges
and customizable tax rates
- Live help support and online resource
library to assist with website development
- Automatic upgrades
- Integration with social media
- Inventory, orders and customers are all
tracked in one place
“Clover is unique in the marketplace because it has always
operated as an open platform, which we feel is critical to the
evolution of our SMB portfolio.” said Dan Charron, Executive Vice
President, Global Business Solutions, First Data. “Clover Online
Store demonstrates the flexibility of the Clover API and is an
example of the power and ingenuity of the new First Data.”
Booker, a service commerce solution that supports the ten
million SMBs in the service industry, is the first third party app
built on the Clover API. Booker caters to salons, spas, and other
appointment-based businesses, helping business owners manage
appointments online and make scheduling easy for staff and
customers.
“We’re excited to partner with First Data to bring service
businesses a fully integrated solution to run and grow their
business,” said Josh McCarter, CEO of Booker. “The combination of
the Clover Online Store and Booker is a game-changer for SMB
service businesses that will benefit from the first completely
integrated business management and payment solution – allowing
business owners to focus on the work they enjoy.”
Chiarello and Charron announced the launch of Clover Online
Store today during their keynote at ETA’s TRANSACT 16 conference in
Las Vegas.
