Checkout Speed
Checkout Speed

Clover: Does not support high-volume businesses such as convenience stories and groceries where checkout speed is critical. The system lacks many necessary hardware integrations that these industries require.

POS Nation: Industry-specific hardware allows for complete customization and quick checkout — no matter what’s being sold.

Weight Scales
Weight Scales

Clover: The system only supports a 15-pound weigh scale. Therefore, retailers like grocers cannot use this system if they need heavy-duty hardware such as scanner scales.

POS Nation: The system supports many kinds of scales, including scanner scales. Several other pieces of add-on POS hardware are supported as well.

Tech Support
Tech Support

Clover: Clover has several resellers, therefore, you likely won’t get support from the same people who sold you your system.

POS Nation: In-house support comes from the same team that sold you your system. Available to help 24/7.
