Wi-Fi connection is unstable or down due to weather or unplanned outage? Connect your Clover devices to your personal Wi-Fi hotspot with ease, ensuring uninterrupted sales.
Seamless Connectivity: Hotspots & LTE Backup
During a storm-induced Wi-Fi outage, Clover devices can still keep your business running by connecting to personal hotspots. By unlocking your device with the Admin passcode and navigating to "Device Settings" > "Network," you can quickly connect to an active Wi-Fi hotspot on your phone. Alternatively, many Clover devices offer built-in SIM card support for LTE, ensuring continued connectivity when Wi-Fi isn't available. Activate LTE by unlocking the device, opening the "Setup" app, selecting "Cellular Data," and tapping “Activate” on the right, then tap “Activate” again to confirm.
*Please remember to “Deactivate” LTE in the same menu, once Wi-Fi is restored to prevent unnecessary charges.*
Experience Tap to Pay on iPhone with Clover - accept all in-person, contactless payments from physical cards to digital wallets like Apple pay straight from the Clover Go App.
Clover Go: Mobile Payments on the Move
When your standard Clover devices are not accessible, the Clover Go Application transforms your smartphone into a reliable payment terminal. Simply sign in with your registered business or personal email to access a mobile version of the payment platform that mirrors your Clover device’s functionality. Thanks to its cloud-based POS system, your menus and settings stay seamlessly synced across all connected devices. Customers can pay via manual card entry—though this method does carry its risks (Including potential chargeback) and is best reserved for trusted clientele—or through an email invoice that offers a variety of payment options, including Google Pay. In addition, for iPhone users, tap-to-pay functionality can be activated and utilized instead of an invoice, just simply add items to cart or enter the amount and select “Done” then in the next screen tap “Tap to pay on iPhone” to complete the transaction on the App. This flexibility ensures that your business continues to operate smoothly, even when traditional hardware isn’t available.
