A Clover alternative built for the grocery counter.

Clover is a good product for many shops. Grocers who outgrow it usually need the same few things. Here they are, and how to switch without closing a day.

8Why grocers leave Clover

The four reasons we hear most.

1

Unclear total cost

Hardware, software and processing come as a package; grocers often can’t see what each part costs.

2

Contract terms

Processing agreements through resellers can carry terms and fees. Read yours before you switch.

3

Add-on apps for grocery basics

Each extra app is another fee and another place where things break.

4

Language for staff

Teams need screens in their language and receipts customers can read.

What to look for in any alternative.

Use this list with every vendor you talk to, including us.

  • Reads your deli and meat-counter label-scale barcodes
  • PLU lookup with weights in lb or kg
  • SNAP/EBT split tender with the certified EBT processor you choose (US)
  • Case and unit pricing that converts stock
  • Purchase orders with partial deliveries
  • Screens your staff can read and receipts your customers can read
  • A price you can see before a sales call, and no long contract
  • A free, real way to move your catalogue
