Who the Clover Mini suits
- Retail, grocery and convenience. Inventory and reporting sit on the same device as the payment, readable later from a browser. It’s our usual pick for retail counters.
- Quick service, pizza and wings. The Mini runs the till; add a Clover Flex or Flex Pocket for delivery and the door. See our quick service setup.
- Cafés and bakeries with one register and a short line.
- Anyone getting off a bank debit machine who wants a real POS without a large footprint.
If your counter needs a separate screen facing the customer for tips, signature and loyalty sign-up, the Clover Station Duo is the bigger option.
How to get a Clover Mini
Through GT Payments you can buy the Mini outright or lease it to own. We quote the hardware together with your processing rate, so you see the total monthly cost before you commit. Ask for a quote.
The Mini works on any of our three plans: Fixed (2.50% on credit, 0.75% + $0.07 on debit), Variable (interchange + 0.20% on credit, $0.05 debit) or Surcharge (2.40% paid by the cardholder where permitted, $0.05 debit), all with no monthly fee. For debit-heavy shops, Variable’s flat $0.05 debit usually matters more than the credit rate. See Clover POS pricing in Canada.
Setup and support
In the Greater Toronto Area we install the Mini at your counter in under 10 minutes and show your staff how to use it. Elsewhere in Canada we ship it and set it up with you by phone or video. A person answers our support line 24/7, and in the GTA a technician can be on-site within 2–4 hours.
Clover Mini questions
Does the Clover Mini have a printer?
Yes. The Clover Mini 3 has a built-in thermal receipt printer.
Can the Clover Mini work without Wi-Fi?
Yes. Besides Wi-Fi, the Clover Mini 3 connects by Ethernet cable or 4G/LTE, so you can choose the most reliable connection for your counter.
Can the Clover Mini scan barcodes?
Yes. Its front-facing camera reads 1D and 2D barcodes, and the USB ports let you connect accessories.
Should I buy or lease-to-own the Clover Mini?
Buying costs more up front and nothing after; lease-to-own spreads the cost over monthly payments. Ask for a quote and we will lay out both next to your processing rate so you can compare.
