Clover Duo is your all-in-one powerful POS machine with a customer facing display and customer payment terminal. Accept all payments types easier and faster by letting your customers pay on their end. Accept all payments including credit, pin-based debit, gift cards and NFC payments such as GooglePay and ApplePay. View real-time reports, manage employees, offer loyalty, manage customers, send promotions and much more.

You can continue to take payments when you’re not connected to the internet by turning on the Offline Payments option. Payments are processed as soon as you’re back online and logged in.

The offline payments option is device specific. If you use more than one Clover device, you can enable or disable the option on each device you use. When enabled, devices can take offline payments for up to 7 days.

When a connection becomes available, your device automatically submits offline payments for authorization, and once authorized, you receive your deposits and your customers receive receipts.

Note that when you take an offline payment, you accept the risk of a declined or partial payment when the device is back online. For example, if a credit card is expired or cancelled, or if the PIN is incorrect, the payment will be declined. This functionality doesn’t work with Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) or gift cards.
