Give your customer’s more ways to pay with Clover’s Online Payment links feature

Whether you own a restaurant, a retail store, or provide a service, giving your clients the convenient option to pay online can help you generate more revenue and enhance the overall client experience.  Clover’s new Online Payments link feature is available to all Clover merchants at no extra cost and gives you the ability to accept payments from multiple channels online so you can continue growing your business.

Our Online Payments feature allows you to take payments from your customers at any time of the day by creating and sharing a link, a button, or a QR code that directs buyers to a pre-built online payments page where they can make their payment.  The feature is simple to use, doesn’t require an existing webpage, and is easily accessible by logging in to your Clover Dashboard.

How Clover’s Online Payments feature can benefit your business

There are many ways this new feature can help your business accept and manage payments.  With the Online Payment links feature you can:

• Conveniently email or text your clients with a payment link
• Add a Pay or Buy button to your company website
• Include a link or a QR Code for payments on your social media posts
• Include a QR code for payment on printed materials like posters, ads, or mailers

Your Online Payment link will open a checkout page for your clients which can be customized with your company name and logo. And, best of all, you’ll be able to track all your payments through your Clover Dashboard account.
