Clover, Configured for Dental

Six devices. A range of software plans. One cloud dashboard. The full Clover platform — set up around the workflows a dental practice actually runs.

HIPAA-Ready when you need it

Pair Clover with the Clover for Healthcare plan to keep your payment device strictly out of PHI scope.

How it works

Clover for Healthcare restricts the device to payment processing only, which keeps it inside HIPAA's financial-institution exemption. End-to-end encryption and tokenization on every transaction.

HSA, FSA & card-on-file

Accept every flexible spending option patients carry, plus securely stored cards for return visits.

Tap to flip

Built for treatment plans

Save a card on file with patient permission and run it again later — perfect for staged treatment, ortho payments, and follow-up procedures. Available with Essentials and above.

Hardware for every workflow

Mini for the front desk. Flex or Flex Pocket for chairside. Compact for off-site. Station Solo or Duo as the practice grows.

Tap to flip

Six devices, one ecosystem

Every device shares the same Clover Dashboard, the same reporting, and the same secure processing — so the back office sees everything in one place.

Virtual terminal built in

Invoice patients, send payment links, run card-not-present charges, and take payments by phone from any browser.

Tap to flip

No extra hardware required

Log in at dashboard.clover.com. Useful for billing balances after insurance, collecting overdue payments, and patients who'd rather pay over the phone. Included with Essentials and above.

The Lineup

Six devices. Built for dental.

From a simple payment terminal to a full two-screen counter setup — the right Clover hardware for any size practice. Here are three of the most-installed for dental; the full lineup adds Flex Pocket, Station Solo, and Station Duo.

Clover Mini countertop POS terminal
Front Desk

Clover Mini

Compact countertop POS with an 8″ HD touchscreen and built-in receipt printer. Lives at reception, handles patient check-outs, balance collections, and printed receipts all day.

Clover Flex handheld POS terminal
Chairside

Clover Flex

Wireless handheld terminal that goes wherever the patient is. Run the card in the operatory, print or email the receipt, and let the patient leave without a second stop at the desk.

Clover Compact payment terminal
Entry & Mobile

Clover Compact

A simple, fast checkout terminal at the entry price point. Great for solo practitioners, off-site visits, or as a backup terminal during busy days. LTE, Wi-Fi, or LAN.

Two Ways to Pay for Processing

Same Clover hardware, same software, same dashboard — pick how you want the per-transaction math to work.

Cash Discount

Most popular
Pass the processing along to card payers

Patients paying with cash get a small discount at checkout. Patients paying with card see the listed price — which already covers your processing. Same Clover hardware, same workflow at the front desk.

  • Most patients keep paying with card
  • Built-in disclosure prompts at checkout
  • Same Clover hardware and dashboard
  • No tiered-pricing surprises
2.3% + $0.10

Flat Rate

Simple
One rate. Every card. Every transaction.

The same per-transaction rate for swipe, chip, tap, or keyed. The same for credit and debit. No interchange-plus, no qualifying tiers — the rate you see is the rate you pay.

  • Same rate for credit and debit
  • Same rate for swipe, dip, tap, and keyed
  • No qualifying tiers
  • Next-day funding

Both programs work on every Clover device and every software plan. Talk to us about which one fits the way your practice runs and we'll set it up before your hardware ships.

Secure From Tap to Deposit

Every patient payment runs through encrypted, tokenized channels — HIPAA-ready by design when paired with the right plan.

Clover PracticePay

Today's Virtual Terminal handles a lot — but with workflows that still need staff to set up and send. Clover PracticePay (announced by Clover and Rectangle Health, launching in 2026) turns those workflows into native, patient-facing tools: financing, automated billing, text-to-pay, and a branded patient portal — running alongside your existing practice management software.

Powered by Rectangle Health's Practice Management Bridge®
  • Patient financingOffer flexible payment options for larger treatment plans without sending patients to a third-party lender's site.
  • Integrated recurring billingRecurring billing tied directly into your practice management software — built for orthodontia, treatment plans, and balance-after-insurance.
  • Native text-to-paySend a payment request by SMS instead of emailing a link. Patients tap, pay, done — no portal login, no printed statement.
  • QR code paymentsDisplay a QR code at checkout or in printed materials so patients can pay from their phone in seconds.
  • Branded patient portalA self-service portal where patients log in to view balances and pay — synced to the same dashboard your staff already uses.
