The Clover turn-on process is different depending on which device you have. Ensure your device is charged and all power cables are connected. Next, figure out which model you have: Clover Flex, Clover Station Solo, Clover Station Duo, Clover Go, or Clover Mini.  

For your specific Clover, the process will vary. Please see the instructions on their individual product page on our website.

If your receipts are barely legible, don’t worry—this is an easy fix. Every Clover printer is a thermal printer, except for their Kitchen Printers. This means they do not use ink to print.

If your Clover printer is printing receipts with light characters or without characters, please make sure to utilize the following steps to troubleshoot your device:

1. Supply the correct thermal-compatible paper to the printer.
2. Make sure the thermal paper roll is loaded into the printer correctly.
3. Clean your device’s printer head of any dust or debris.
4. Be sure your device has a sufficient power supply and is plugged in correctly.
5. Check your printer settings to diagnose your print density.

Clover’s offline payments is a huge benefit that Clover offers for merchants. Clovers connect via Wi-Fi, ethernet, or cellular networks. If you are in a location with poor service or no Wi-Fi connections, you can still accept payments offline.
