"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."
"I used Limelight Payments for my pressure washing business. If I have a question, Ryan still answers the phone or returns my call. I don't get tossed around with customer service reps."
"He is honest, accessible, fast to help. I have been with Clover for more than two years now (I have a 15-year-old business) and provided all the support I needed."
