Clover Go

The Clover Go represents the ultimate in payment mobility, transforming any smartphone or tablet into a full-featured point of sale terminal. This pocket-sized powerhouse weighs just a few ounces but packs enterprise-grade payment security and the same reporting capabilities as larger Clover devices.

Designed for businesses that don't operate behind a counter, the Clover Go connects via Bluetooth to your iOS or Android device, using the free Clover Go app to process transactions. Accept chip cards, contactless payments like Apple Pay and Google Pay, and traditional swipe cards—all with the security of point-to-point encryption.

The Clover Go's long-lasting battery provides 8+ hours of continuous use on a single charge, enough to cover a full day at a farmer's market, trade show, or service calls. Quick charging gets you back to 50% in just 30 minutes, ensuring you're never caught without the ability to accept payments.

Despite its small size, the Clover Go provides access to the same powerful reporting and analytics available on larger Clover devices. Track sales in real-time, email digital receipts, manage inventory, and view detailed transaction history—all from your smartphone.

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