Clover Duo

The Clover Duo represents the ultimate in POS flexibility, combining the countertop power of the Clover Station with the mobile freedom of the Clover Flex. This dynamic duo ensures you're equipped for every scenario—from high-volume counter service to personalized tableside experiences.

At your central checkout, the Clover Station handles the heavy lifting with its large display and comprehensive peripheral support. Meanwhile, your Flex-equipped staff can take orders tableside, process payments on the floor, bust lines during rush hour, or handle curbside pickup orders without missing a beat.

Both devices share a unified system—inventory updates instantly across both devices, employee permissions are consistent, and sales data consolidates into a single comprehensive report. There's no syncing to worry about or duplicate entries to reconcile; the Duo operates as one seamless system.

The Duo is particularly powerful for restaurants where the Station serves as the central command hub for managing orders, printing kitchen tickets, and handling walk-in customers, while servers equipped with Flex devices provide attentive tableside service that improves customer experience and increases tips.

The payment terminal market includes devices from Clover, PAX, Dejavoo, Ingenico, Verifone, and Square. Here is how the Clover Duo stands out.

vs Entry-Level Terminals

• Advanced reporting, employee management, and inventory tracking
• PCI-PTS certification with point-to-point encryption
• Customer engagement features built in

vs Proprietary Systems (Square, Stripe)

• Interchange-plus pricing saves 20–40% vs flat-rate
• No processor lock-in — you own the pricing relationship
• More hardware accessories and peripheral support

Integration Ecosystem

Kitchen displays, barcode scanners, cash drawers, and customer-facing screens — all configured by Unison's team so everything works together from day one.

Every card transaction involves three fee layers. Understanding them is the first step to paying less.

The Three Fee Layers

• Interchange — set by Visa/Mastercard, paid to the issuing bank (non-negotiable)
• Assessment — charged by the card network (non-negotiable)
• Processor markup — the only negotiable part of your fees

Interchange-Plus vs Flat-Rate

Flat-rate processors (Square at 2.6% + 10¢, Stripe at 2.9% + 30¢) charge the same on every transaction. That means you overpay on debit cards where actual interchange is often under 0.5%.

Unison's interchange-plus pricing shows you the real cost. The average business saves 20–40% after switching. Read our guide to lowering fees.
