Frequently asked questions
- Does Clover Rewards work with Apple Wallet or Google Wallet?
- No. Clover Rewards tracks loyalty points via phone number or payment card lookup at the POS terminal. There is no wallet pass or branded loyalty card for customers.
- Can I use LoyaltyPass if I have Clover POS hardware?
- Yes. LoyaltyPass runs alongside any POS system. Staff use the free LoyaltyPass merchant app on any smartphone to scan wallet passes. Your Clover terminal handles payments as usual.
- What is the difference between stamp cards and points programs?
- A stamp card rewards the customer after a set number of visits (e.g., 10 coffees, 1 free). A points program assigns points per dollar spent that customers redeem for rewards. LoyaltyPass supports both; Clover Rewards supports points only.
- Does Fivestars still exist? I thought Clover acquired it.
- Yes. Clover (acquired by Fiserv) purchased Fivestars in 2021. Fivestars branding is being phased out; the product is being rolled into Clover Rewards. Merchants on Fivestars are being migrated to Clover.
