"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."

What happens if I cancel service or my merchant account is terminated?
If you cancel service or your merchant account is terminated, Limelight Payments will provide a return shipping label so you can return the equipment. If the equipment is not returned within 10 days of receiving the return shipping label, you may be charged the full retail value of the Clover Flex.

If your business is not approved for the Limelight Payments merchant account program, your $35 setup and shipping fee will be refunded.
Where can I buy a Clover Flex?
You can get a Clover Flex through Clover directly, through certain banks, or through authorized Clover resellers like Limelight Payments. One important thing to understand is that Clover devices are generally tied to the merchant processor that sells or places the equipment. In most cases, you cannot buy a Clover from one processor and use it with another processor later. That means you are not just choosing where to get the device — you are choosing the company that will handle your processing, setup, support, and long-term service.
What processing fees does Limelight Payments charge?
Limelight Payments offers multiple processing options, including wholesale interchange-plus pricing, flat-rate pricing, and compliant cash discount programs where eligible. Exact pricing depends on your business type, card mix, average ticket, and approval. We will review your options before finalizing the account.
What industries qualify for the Clover Flex Placement Program?
The program is available to many legitimate business types, including restaurants, food trucks, retail stores, salons, service businesses, mobile businesses, and more. Approval is subject to merchant underwriting and program eligibility.
What if the Clover Flex stops working?
Merchants enrolled in the POS Equipment Placement Program may be eligible for up to one free replacement per year for a defective Clover Flex. Replacement eligibility applies to manufacturer defects or device failure under normal use. Lost, stolen, physically damaged, or intentionally damaged equipment is not covered.
Can customers review and sign on the Clover Flex?
Yes. The Clover Flex touchscreen can be handed to the customer to review the transaction, select a tip, sign, choose a receipt, and complete payment.
Can Clover Flex connect to other Clover equipment?
Yes. Depending on your setup and software plan, Clover Flex can work within a connected Clover system alongside kitchen printers, cash drawers, other Clover devices, online ordering tools, and supported apps.
Does the Clover Flex have a built-in printer?
Yes. The Clover Flex includes a built-in thermal receipt printer, so you can print receipts directly from the handheld device without carrying a separate printer.
Can Clover Flex use LTE or my phone hotspot?
Yes. Clover Flex supports Wi-Fi and optional LTE or cellular service. You can also connect it to a compatible phone hotspot when your phone has cellular service and hotspot capability.
Can Clover Flex process payments if the internet goes down?
Clover includes Offline Payments mode for eligible transactions during temporary outages. Transactions sync when the device reconnects. Because offline payments are not approved in real time, they may still decline later.
How fast can I receive the Clover Flex?
Once your merchant account is approved and the program details are confirmed, the Clover Flex typically ships within a few business days. Most merchants receive the Clover Flex within 3-4 business days of finalizing their application. Timing may vary based on underwriting, shipping, and equipment availability.
