Side-by-side comparison

We sell Clover too. The difference is all underneath.

This one isn't us versus Clover. It's Clover at list price off a website. Against the same Clover with bid processing, local setup and a broker on your side.

Compare against my real numbers

Where Clover (bought direct) shines

The platform itself

Clover's hardware and software are both very good. That's why we carry it.

Buying online is fast

Order today, unbox next week. If speed is the only criterion, direct works.

Where the broker wins

The processing is bid, not listed

Buy direct and Clover comes with a rate you never negotiated. Through us, processors compete for your volume. The same hardware costs you less every month.

The software tier is right-sized

Direct buyers routinely pay for tiers they don't use. We spec the tier to your actual operation.

Programs configured day one

Dual pricing on Clover has to be set up right. Ours shows up programmed, posted and compliant.

Local install and support

We set it up on your counter. We train your staff. Then we answer the phone from Federal Way.

The straight verdict

If you want Clover, want it through someone who bids the processing. Same machine, smaller statement.

Fair questions

Is it really the same Clover?

The hardware and software are identical. What changes is who handles the processing. And the people around it.

I already own Clover. Can you take it over?

Usually yes. Say you already own Clover hardware. It can often be re-boarded onto processing we negotiate. That means it stays on your counter. You keep your menu. You keep your history.

Why would the rate differ on the same device?

The device is a storefront. The processing behind it is priced deal by deal. Brokers bring processors volume. So brokers get bids one shop can't.

Does going through a broker slow anything down?

Days, not weeks. And you gain setup and training a shipping box never gave you.

Put your statement next to a bid.
