Clover Station

The Clover Station is the powerhouse of the Clover family, designed for businesses that demand the most comprehensive point of sale solution. With its stunning 14-inch high-definition touchscreen display, the Station provides an immersive interface that makes transaction processing, inventory management, and employee scheduling intuitive and efficient.

At the heart of the Clover Station is a powerful processing system that handles high-volume environments without breaking a sweat. Whether you're running a busy restaurant during the dinner rush or managing a retail store during holiday shopping, the Station keeps pace with your busiest moments.

The integrated thermal printer produces crisp, professional receipts instantly, while the optional customer-facing display creates transparency and enables customers to verify orders, add tips, and sign for purchases on their own screen. This dual-screen setup not only improves customer experience but also increases tip percentages in service industries.

The Clover Station connects seamlessly with peripheral devices including cash drawers, barcode scanners, kitchen printers, and weight scales. Its robust connectivity options—WiFi, Ethernet, and optional LTE—ensure you're always online and processing payments.

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

• 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.
