P-LINK POSQuick answer
Clover Canada describes several ways merchants can accept payments through the Clover ecosystem: at a fixed counter, on a handheld or mobile device, through payment links or QR codes, by digital invoice, and through eligible online-ordering or ecommerce tools. Availability, transaction pricing, card-not-present treatment, software plans and device requirements vary, so confirm the exact channels in a current written proposal.
Key takeaways
- Choose payment channels from the customer journey, not from a device list.
- Remote and online transactions can have different requirements and processing costs from in-person payments.
- Confirm account eligibility, software plan, device, app, settlement, refund and support details before launch.
In-person payments
A fixed Clover station can support a staffed counter, while Clover Flex can support tableside, line-busting, delivery or service-at-customer workflows. The device choice should follow where staff enter orders, where customers pay and whether receipts or scanning are required.
Mobile and on-the-go payments
Clover Canada's official guidance describes Flex for portable payments and Clover Go with Tap to Pay on iPhone for eligible mobile use. Confirm compatible hardware, connectivity, account activation and the transaction method before relying on a mobile-only workflow.
Payment links, QR codes and invoices
Clover describes remote collection through payment links, QR codes and digital invoices. These can suit deposits, service work and outstanding balances. Before using them, define the amount, expiry, refund process, receipt, customer authentication and how staff reconcile the payment in reporting.
Online ordering and ecommerce
Restaurants and retailers may also use eligible Clover online-ordering or ecommerce tools. Confirm the software plan, device and printer/KDS requirements, card-not-present pricing, menu or inventory synchronization and third-party integrations.
P-LINK POS practical insight
Start with a simple channel map: counter, table, field, phone, invoice and website. P-LINK POS can help Canadian merchants identify which Clover channels belong in the initial setup and which should wait, reducing unnecessary devices or software while keeping future expansion visible.
