$1,295 for a System That's Yours
You own the equipment. No return obligation, no placement terms, no monthly hardware charge. If you ever change processors, the hardware stays with you — it's yours to sell, keep as a backup, or hand to your accountant as a depreciable asset.
That's the honest reason to buy rather than place: you're paying once to own it instead of holding it under program terms.
Who You're Actually Buying From
Anyone can ship you a box. What you're really buying at $1,295 is who picks up when the system needs something.
"He helped with everything: setting up my menu, uploading my inventory, and even integrating my gift cards. Anytime I have a question or need support, I just call or text him — he's incredibly responsive."
"If I have a question, he still answers the phone or returns my call. I don't get tossed around with customer service reps and placed on hold for hours. If I could give him 100 stars I would."
"He gives you competitive rates and his customer service is beyond the standard — nothing hidden in his honest proposals. Five stars!"

Two Ways to Get a Station Duo
Most resellers only show you one. Here are both, so you can pick the one that actually fits how you want to run things.
Buy it outright
- The equipment is yours — permanently
- No return obligation if you ever leave
- Nothing tied to how long you process with us
- Higher up front, nothing after
Best if you want to own your equipment and keep your options open.
POS Placement
- Equipment provided with your merchant account
- $99 covers shipping and setup, once
- Returned under program terms if you close the account
- Almost nothing up front
Best if you'd rather keep cash in the business at opening. See placement →
Processing $35,000+ a month? There's a third option — no-cost equipment for higher-volume accounts. It depends on your volume and card mix, so it's a conversation rather than a checkout button. Call (888) 415-7020 and ask.
Is the Station Duo the Right Clover for You?
The Duo is the full counter setup. At $1,295 it's worth being sure it's the right size before you order.
Yes, if you
- Run a fixed counter with steady daily volume
- Want customers to see their order, tip and confirm on their own screen
- Need a cash drawer and printed receipts
- Have staff who need separate logins and shift tracking
Look at another Clover if you
- Take payments away from the counter — the Clover Flex fits better
- Have limited counter space and no cash drawer need — Clover Mini
- Aren't sure yet — call and we'll tell you if the Duo is overkill
Fast Tap-to-Pay, Right at the Register
The customer-facing screen isn't just for tips — it's what makes a busy quick-service line move. Customers see their order, tap to pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or a contactless card, and confirm without ever turning the screen around.
For QSR counters, that shaves real seconds off every transaction — the kind of thing that adds up during a lunch rush.

Anyone Can Sell You a Clover. Setting It Up Right Is the Part That Matters.
The hardware is identical no matter who you buy it from. What changes is who configures it and who answers when something breaks.

Questions People Ask First
Do I own the equipment at $1,295?
Yes. Buying outright means the Duo is yours — no return obligation, no placement terms, nothing tied to how long you process with us. That's the difference between this and the $99 placement option.
Why would I pay $1,295 when placement is $99?
Ownership. Placement equipment is provided for use with your merchant account and comes back if you close it. Bought equipment stays yours regardless. If you want the freedom to change processors later without returning hardware, buying is the cleaner path. If you'd rather keep cash in the business right now, placement makes more sense — we'll tell you honestly which one fits.
What will I actually pay every month?
Your Clover software plan starts at $29.95/mo and is set and billed by Clover Network, LLC. Your processing rate is through Limelight Payments, and we put it in writing before you sign. Buying the hardware outright means no equipment lease and no monthly hardware charge.
Can I use this with my current processor?
No. Clover devices only run on the processor they're boarded to, so a Duo bought here runs on your Limelight Payments merchant account. The same is true in reverse — a Clover bought from another provider can't be moved over to us.
How fast can I start taking payments?
Approval usually lands within a few hours. Your equipment arrives 3 business days after approval, and your setup session runs the same day it lands.
Can I change my software plan later?
Yes. Plans can be changed through your Clover Dashboard as your business changes. Your Clover expert can walk you through which one actually fits so you aren't paying for features you don't use.
Want to talk it through before you spend $1,295? Tell us how you ring people up and we'll tell you straight — including when a smaller Clover or the placement option would serve you better.
