It supports swipe, chip (EMV) and contactless (tap) payments via the paired mobile device.

Which payment types does it accept?

It supports:

EMV chip card insert (where applicable)
Magnetic-stripe swipe (depending on model)
Contactless tap/NFC payments (e.g., Apple Pay, Google Pay)
Manual key-in card entry in some cases (for remote payments)

What about security and compliance?

Clover Go is built with standard payment-industry security in mind:

Supports encryption of card data.
Meets PCI standards (Payment Card Industry) when used correctly.
It’s important to use an official reader (not a third-party) because of encryption and certification.

Do I need Wi-Fi or internet connectivity?

Yes, the Clover Go reader works by pairing to the mobile device, which then sends the payment information via the device’s internet connection (Wi-Fi or cellular data).
If the paired device has no connectivity, transactions will likely fail. The mobile connection is required.
