Clover Equipment Return Charge: What to Expect and How to Avoid Fees

Returning equipment should be straightforward, but surprise charges can turn a simple process into a frustrating one. Knowing what to expect and following proper procedures protects you from unexpected fees.

Quick Fixes to Try Right Now

Determine Equipment Ownership

First, clarify whether you own or lease your Clover equipment. If you purchased it outright, there's nothing to return. Leased equipment must be returned per your agreement terms.

Request Return Instructions

Contact your processor for official return instructions. Ask for: a return authorization number, pre-paid shipping label (if applicable), and deadline for return.

Document Equipment Condition

Before shipping, photograph the equipment from multiple angles. Note serial numbers. This documentation protects you if they claim damage or non-receipt.

Use Trackable Shipping

Always ship with tracking and signature confirmation. Keep the tracking number until you confirm the return is processed and no charges are assessed.
