Quick Fixes to Try Right Now

1

The Short Answer: No

Clover hardware cannot be used with Square processing. They are competing ecosystems that don't integrate.

2

Why They Don't Work Together

3

Integration Options

While hardware is incompatible, some third-party apps can sync data between platforms if you run both systems separately.

4

Choose Based on Needs

Evaluate which platform better fits your business. Clover offers more hardware options; Square offers simpler pricing. Neither is objectively 'better.'
