Anyone can sell you a Clover Station Solo. We help you choose the right one — and pay less for the long haul.
There are hundreds of Clover resellers. Most of them quote you a flat rate, ship the box, and disappear. The hardware is the easy part — the processing rate, the software plan, the menu setup, and the support you get for the next five years is where the real money is.
A real merchant account, not an aggregator
You get your own dedicated merchant account through Limelight Payments instead of a one-size-fits-all aggregator setup. That means clearer underwriting, cleaner deposits, and a better fit for businesses that want a real POS relationship.
Three processing options — your choice
Choose from Interchange-Plus, flat rate, or Cash Discount / Consumer Pay depending on your volume, average ticket, and customer flow. We help compare the real monthly impact instead of forcing one pricing model.
Free menu and inventory setup — done for you
We help build your menu, upload items, organize categories, configure modifiers, set up employees, and prepare the Solo for real checkout before you start taking payments.
Direct phone line to your account manager
Call or text a real Limelight Payments POS advisor when you need help with reports, printers, employees, tips, batches, software settings, accessories, or general Clover questions.
Three ways to get the hardware
Buy the Clover Station Solo at the current sale price, ask about the placement program if you want lower upfront cost, or book a free consultation first if you are still comparing Solo, Duo, Flex, Mini, and Compact.
Honest advice — even when it costs us a sale
If a Duo, Mini, Flex, Compact, or Solo + Flex bundle is a better fit than a Station Solo by itself, we will tell you. The goal is not just to sell a box — it is to give you a POS setup that actually works.
A single-screen Clover checkout station for staff-facing order entry.
Clover Station Solo is the main countertop Clover POS for businesses that want a large staff screen, fast order entry, built-in receipt printing, card acceptance, and back-office tools without a separate customer-facing display.
It works well when staff control the checkout from behind the counter, at the bar, or at the front desk. If the customer-facing screen is important for tips, signatures, PIN, or order confirmation, compare the Clover Station Duo. If mobility matters, add Clover Flex.
Clover Station Solo — full specs.
The Solo is a fixed countertop station for a bar, front desk, host stand, or retail register where staff need a large screen and fast checkout tools.
Clover Station Solo or Clover Station Duo?
The Solo and Duo are both serious countertop Clover stations. The biggest difference is the customer-facing screen.
Plain-English recommendation
If customers should interact with the screen during payment, choose the Duo. If your staff mainly control the checkout and you want a strong, cleaner countertop register, choose the Solo. If payments happen away from the counter, add a Clover Flex.
Choose Solo when the staff screen matters more than the customer screen.
Clover Station Solo is best for businesses that need a fixed register with speed, reporting, inventory, staff controls, receipts, and optional accessories — but do not need the built-in customer-facing screen of the Duo.
Choose Solo when these are true.
- You have a real checkout counter, bar, host stand, retail register, or front desk.
- Staff need a large screen for orders, modifiers, discounts, refunds, items, and reports.
- You want a built-in receipt printer and a cleaner setup than tablet + reader + printer.
- You may add cash drawers, scanners, scales, kitchen printers, KDS, online ordering, or a Flex later.
- You want Clover software flexibility without paying for a customer-facing Duo screen you may not need.
Consider another Clover device when these are true.
- You want customers to see a dedicated payment/tip/signature screen — compare Clover Duo.
- You mainly take payments at the table, curbside, in the field, or away from the counter — compare Flex.
- Your counter space is very limited and a Clover Mini or Compact is enough.
- You only need occasional simple payments and do not need reporting, inventory, or employee tools.
The right Solo setup depends on the job your register has to do.
Most business owners are not just buying a POS. They are trying to solve a checkout problem: faster lines, cleaner tabs, better staff control, simpler inventory, better reporting, or fewer disconnected apps. These are the questions Limelight Payments uses to recommend the right setup.
1. Where does checkout happen?
Counter, bar, host stand, front desk, retail counter, service counter, patio, table, curbside, or mobile job site. Solo is strongest when checkout starts at a fixed station.
2. What does staff need to do fast?
Open tabs, add modifiers, apply discounts, clock in, split tips, scan barcodes, print receipts, route orders, check inventory, or look up customers.
3. What should the customer experience feel like?
If customers should interact with a separate screen, compare Duo. If staff control the flow and the customer only pays, Solo can be cleaner and simpler.
4. Which software workflow matters most?
Restaurant Growth for tabs, kitchen routing, online ordering, delivery, and menu timing. Retail Growth for inventory, variants, labels, and online catalog. Services Growth for appointments and reminders.
5. What accessories are required?
Cash drawer, barcode scanner, kitchen printer, KDS, label printer, scale review, Flex devices, or online ordering integrations should be mapped before ordering.
6. What is the real monthly cost?
The hardware price is only one part. A clear quote should separate hardware, Clover software, processing, accessories, setup, and any program terms.
Want us to map your setup before you buy?
Send your business type, current processor, and what you need the register to do. We’ll recommend Solo, Duo, Flex, Mini, or a bundle — with software and accessories clearly separated.

5.0 stars across 30+ Google reviews.
Limelight Payments’ value is not just Clover hardware. It is guidance, setup, training, and real support after the sale.
“Someone online told me that if I was going to get a Clover system, I should go through a trusted sales rep — and that was the best advice I could’ve received. Ryan helped with everything: setting up my menu, uploading my inventory, and even integrating my gift cards.”
“I’ve been in business for over 20 years using credit card processors and Ryan is by far the most knowledgeable, helpful individual I have ever used.”
“If I have a question, Ryan still answers the phone or returns my call. I don’t get tossed around with customer service reps.”

Is Clover Station Solo the same as Clover Station Duo?
No. Clover Station Solo is the single-screen countertop Clover station. Clover Station Duo adds a dedicated customer-facing display.

Duo is usually better when customer-facing tips, signatures, PIN prompts, and order confirmation are central to the checkout experience.
Should I choose Clover Station Solo or Clover Station Duo?
Choose Clover Station Solo if staff mainly control checkout and you want a strong, simpler countertop register. Choose Clover Station Duo if customers should interact with a second screen for tips, signatures, PIN entry, and order confirmation. If payment happens away from the counter, add Clover Flex.

Yes. Clover Station Solo can work well for restaurants and bars that need order entry, tips, open tabs, staff permissions, receipt printing, reporting, happy hour or promo discounts, kitchen printer or KDS workflows, online ordering, and delivery integrations. Restaurants that also want tableside payment often pair a Solo with one or more Clover Flex devices.
Can Clover Station Solo run bar tabs and preauthorizations?
Yes, with the right restaurant and bar setup, Clover Station Solo can support open tabs and card preauthorization workflows. This is helpful for bars, breweries, lounges, and restaurants that need to start a tab quickly and close out at the end of service.
Can Clover Station Solo automate happy hour specials?
Yes, the Solo can be configured with discounts, specials, and menu workflows that make happy hour easier for staff. This helps reduce mistakes because bartenders and cashiers do not have to manually remember every promo price.
Can Clover Station Solo be paired with Clover Flex?
Yes. A common restaurant and bar setup is Clover Station Solo at the counter, bar, or host stand, plus Clover Flex for tableside, patio, curbside, or line-busting payment. The Solo acts as the main station while Flex devices handle mobile transactions.

What accessories might I need with Clover Station Solo?
Common accessories include a cash drawer, barcode scanner, kitchen printer, KDS, label printer, scale compatibility review, and Clover Flex devices. The right accessories depend on whether you are running a bar, restaurant, retail store, salon, medical office, auto shop, or professional service counter.
Can I use Clover Station Solo with another processor?
Limelight Payments sells Clover hardware to merchants who process with Limelight Payments. Clover devices are activated through specific processing relationships, so do not purchase a Clover Station Solo expecting to use another processor unless compatibility is confirmed in writing before purchase.
Is the sale price or placement program better?
The sale price is better if you want to own the hardware outright. The placement program may be better if you want lower upfront cost and qualify for equipment placement. With placement, the equipment is provided for use with the merchant account and must be returned if the account is cancelled or terminated.
What happens after I submit the form?
A Limelight Payments POS advisor reviews your business type, current processor, current POS, checkout workflow, software needs, accessories, and timeline. Then we recommend whether Clover Station Solo, Duo, Flex, Mini, Compact, or a bundle is the best fit and send a clear quote.
