Question 1

Is OpenSign a Clover alternative?

Accepted Answer

Yes for independent retail. OpenSign replaces the Clover register plus the extra apps many shops add for inventory, loyalty, and online ordering, and it does not require Clover terminals.

Question 2

What hardware do I need instead of a Clover station?

Accepted Answer

A compatible phone or tablet for Tap to Pay, optional Stripe Terminal readers, and a computer or tablet for the web register. You are not buying a proprietary Clover lane for every checkout.

Question 3

Can I keep my Canadian processor if I leave Clover?

Accepted Answer

Often yes. OpenSign supports Moneris and Helcim alongside Stripe, so merchants who already have those rates do not have to move processing just to change POS software.
