"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."

Where can I buy a Clover Mini?
You can get a Clover Mini 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 Mini 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 Mini 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 Mini. Replacement eligibility applies to manufacturer defects or device failure under normal use. Lost, stolen, physically damaged, or intentionally damaged equipment is not covered.
How is the Clover Mini different from the Clover Station Duo?
The Clover Mini is a compact 8-inch countertop POS with an integrated card reader and built-in receipt printer. The Clover Station Duo is a larger full-size system with a 14-inch merchant display and a separate customer-facing payment screen.
