Clover Mini and Clover Flex provide businesses with custom
hardware and software, plus girocard certification for the German
market, as well as accessories, and customer support. Both products
can accept a variety of payment options including PIN or signature
entry, NFC, EMV and mag stripe transactions. They can be used as
standalone devices or integrated with multiple Clover solutions for
a connected commerce experience.
“While powering businesses that range from coffee shops to major
sports arenas, we’ve watched the Clover platform grow rapidly
across the U.S. and the U.K.,” commented Michael Neborak, Executive
Vice President, Head of the EMEA region at First Data. “Today we
are delighted to launch two of Clover’s most popular solutions in
Germany and Austria, making the next generation of payments
technology available to our clients.”
Backed by the Clover platform, merchants using the devices can
manage their businesses in real-time over an online backend portal
that can be accessed from a smartphone, tablet, or computer. The
portal allows the merchant to monitor transaction status, view
receipts in an online archive, and make configuration changes
remotely anytime, anywhere.
Both Clover Mini and Clover Flex will also provide access to the
Clover App Market. Clover’s App Market features applications built
by third-party developers, with more than 300 available in the U.S.
App developers in Germany and Austria have the opportunity to
submit their own merchant-facing apps to the Clover App Market for
inclusion. Clover’s platform also enables simple integration with
numerous software providers, including independent software
vendors, value-added resellers, software developers, and system
integrators.
Clover Mini
Clover Mini comes in a small package but has the same power as a
full size point-of-sale terminal, meaning business owners can
access the same intuitive tools without compromising on counter
space. Clover Mini provides merchants with:
- Front-facing camera that enables
barcode and QR code reading
- Wi-Fi, 3G or Ethernet connectivity
- 7" Antimicrobial Corning® Gorilla®
Glass display screen
- Touchscreen PIN entry for card payment
transactions
Clover Flex
While Clover Flex is available for businesses of all sizes, its
design makes it ideal for restaurant, retail, and service-based
industries that want to take the checkout experience to the
customer. Compact enough to be a handheld device, Clover Flex makes
it easy to accept payments in-line, at the table, on the shop
floor, or in the customer’s home. Features include:
- Built-in receipt printer, 1D/2D barcode
scanner and camera
- Long-lasting Lithium-ion battery that
can support up to eight hours of business on a single charge
- On-screen electronic signature capture
that can email, text and store digital receipts
- 5-inch, 720x1080 IPS LCD capacitive
touch display for bright, crisp images
- Lightweight device weighing less than
500 grams
- Designed for the rigors of mobility
through extensive reliability testing
