Your business is on the go. To support your business growth, it is important to have the ability to accept payments anytime and anywhere. Now, what if, besides having a leading-edge mobile payment solution, your credit card reader could do more?
With Clover Go, which is one of several Clover products available, you can accept payments wherever your business takes you – simply, affordably and securely – allowing you to manage transactions with confidence.
And it's easy to get started. Just download the Clover Go app on your smartphone or tablet. Whether you have an iOS device or an Android-based device, Clover Go allows you to be up and running anywhere you have a Wi-Fi or data connection. Simply plug in the Clover Go card reader, and you can start accepting major credit, debit and chip cards.
Today’s customers want to pay via their mobile phones
While the COVID-19 pandemic challenged many businesses, one item that resulted was the desire for customers to have the ability for paying using contactless payment technologies. One study concluded that by the end of 2021, in-store mobile payment app usage will reach 101.2 million Americans ages 14 and older, with that number expected to grow to more than half of all smartphone users by 2025. With such a large volume of potential customers, this implies you aren’t even implementing this technology for your convenience. Rather, it’s simply what today’s customers demand.
But it can be a net positive for your business, too. Making payment easier for customers can lead to higher ticket transactions, which can help you increase your top-line revenue and net income.
Sales tracking with the Clover Go mobile credit card reader
As a business owner, you have many options to choose from when it comes to a mobile credit card reader. When it comes to operating your business, Clover and First Horizon Bank understand that giving you the data you need, when you need it, is essential to long-term success. With the Clover Go solution, you get more than a simple mobile credit card processing solution – you can also leverage sales tracking reports to help you run your business. For example, consider the following reports that are available with Clover Go:
- Sales reports by location – As you evaluate your business, it is important to take a look at the top-line performance. But how is each location contributing to that success? With the sales reports by location, you can drill down to see where success is occurring and where challenges could be looming.
- Sales per employee – Whether you are a restaurant owner wanting to understand which servers are increasing average order value or a plumbing contractor wanting to understand which plumber is landing the biggest jobs, this report is easily one of the most popular on the platform.
With your business constantly on the go, we understand that you need these reports on the go. You can quickly analyze your sales data with the reports being available on your mobile phone, or dig deeper when reviewing them on your laptop. This is a solution that understands that every aspect of your business should be as mobile and flexible as possible.
And because you deserve more, you'll get more with Clover Go. Tap into powerful reporting and insights about your business performance to help you make better decisions with Clover Insights.

Common questions about the Clover Go mobile card reader
Is an internet connection required to use a Clover device?
Aside from the initial setup, your Clover Go device does not have to be connected to the internet to function. You have the ability to take payments for seven consecutive days without an online connection. Keep in mind that without a connection, your other integrations (i.e., account applications) would not necessarily be aware of your sales volume.
How much does it cost to use the Clover Go mobile card reading solution?
There are different plans available with the Clover Go solution; however, for the purposes of planning, consider that the following fees could be associated with the Clover Go solution:
- 2.6% + $0.10 for in-person transactions
- 3.5% + $0.10 for keyed-in transactions
- $49 one-time fee
- $9.95/mo
As you are considering other mobile credit card readers besides looking at the basic fees, ask for a sample redacted invoice to allow you to see how a typical invoice appears.
Can I provide receipts from my mobile card reader?
While your transactions can get logged with your accounting software, it’s not that easy for the majority of customers. To help you keep your customer’s concerns at bay, you can tell them that the Clover Go solution allows you to email or text receipts directly from the app.
How long does Clover Go take to deposit in my account?
With cash flow as a consideration for nearly every business, Clover Go makes it a priority to deliver your cash as soon as possible. Funds that you charge from the Clover Go app will be deposited into your account within 1-2 business days. Keep in mind that the cutoff for next-day deposits is 6:59 p.m. and that deposits will not be made on weekends or holidays.
