Clover · Compact counter
Clover Mini 3
A compact all-in-one countertop POS that still runs the full Clover stack: fast chip, tap, and swipe payments, built-in receipts, App Market tools, and live sync to the Clover Dashboard, built for tight counters that cannot sacrifice capability.
- Retail & boutiques
- Quick-service & cafés
- Salons & spas
Big features, small footprint
Mini 3 runs the same Register experience as larger stations. Chip, tap, swipe, built-in printing, and Clover apps — sized for tight counters.
Mini is the countertop Clover when you need every payment type and core POS software without dedicating half the counter to hardware. Guests dip, tap, or swipe on the same screen you use to ring sales, ideal for cafés, boutiques, QSR lines, salons, and service desks where space is tight but expectations are not. Croft bundles it with processing, rollout planning, and the right accessories so you are not guessing which drawer or scanner pairs cleanly.
Big checkout capability in a small footprint
Run payments, line items, tips, and everyday POS tasks from an 8-inch touchscreen that fits beside a espresso machine, jewelry case, or food-truck shelf, without stacking a separate printer box.
Every common payment type in one path
Chip, swipe, tap, and mobile wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, and similar) plus PIN debit where your processing plan supports it, so you are not turning away a card because the lane is “card-present only.”
Same Clover ecosystem as the rest of your stack
Pull apps from the Clover App Market, sync tickets and tenders to the Clover Dashboard, and pair with Flex, printers, scanners, or drawers when volume grows, Croft helps you stage it so upgrades feel planned, not improvised.
Cafés & retail
Contactless without slowing the line
Tap and chip stay front and center when pastries, cold cases, and a queue share the same few feet of counter.

Clover Mini 3 for small counters and satellite lanes
Mini 3 is the workhorse for boutiques, cafés, salons, and food trucks that need full Clover software without a full-size station. You get chip, tap, swipe, built-in receipt printing, and access to the Clover App Market in a compact wedge-shaped design.
If your counter is tight but your payment mix is not, Mini often beats larger stations on space without giving up capability. Croft pairs Mini with transparent processing, local setup support, and optional free placement when your business qualifies.

Common questions
Straight answers about Clover Mini 3 and how Croft helps you deploy it.
How is Mini different from Station Duo?
Mini uses one screen for staff and guest. Duo adds a dedicated customer-facing display — better when guests need a separate view.
Which businesses choose Mini?
Boutiques, cafés, salons, food trucks, and second registers where space is tight but you still need full payment types.
Can Mini sync with other Clover devices?
Yes. Add Flex for mobility or Duo when you need a guest screen — same account, same dashboard.
Is free placement available?
Eligible merchants may qualify for no-cost hardware on Croft processing programs. Start with a quick eligibility check.
Free placement when you qualify
Get this system through Croft
Check if you qualify for free placement, or explore purchase and Terminal for Life options. On eligible Croft programs, processing is a flat monthly fee — not a percentage of every sale.
