Clover online ordering fees in 2026: what a restaurant pays per order
Clover doesn't charge a separate fee for online ordering on its restaurant plans. You pay the card processing on each online order, which is 3.5% + 10 cents, plus the monthly plan: $89.95 or $109.90 a month for software if you buy the hardware, or $135 to $245 a month on a 36-month lease. On a $30 online order that is $1.15 in processing. In-person cards cost less, 2.3% + 10 cents. Delivery is extra: when Clover launched delivery through DoorDash in 2022 it was $6.99 per delivery order.
What Clover charges a restaurant
From Clover's quick-service restaurant pricing page, October 2026 (Clover pricing):
| Plan | Lease | Or buy |
|---|---|---|
| Starter (Mini) | $135 a month for 36 months | $849 + $89.95 a month |
| Standard (Station Duo) | $185 a month for 36 months | $1,899 + $89.95 a month |
| Advanced (Station Duo + Flex) | $245 a month for 36 months | $2,648 + $109.90 a month |
| Card payment | Rate |
|---|---|
| Tapped, swiped or inserted | 2.3% + 10¢ |
| Typed in | 3.5% + 10¢ |
| Online | 3.5% + 10¢ |
| Rapid Deposit (money in minutes) | 1.75% |
All three plans list "No-fee online ordering" and a Clover online menu page. The online rate is from NerdWallet, which notes rates can differ if your Clover came through a bank or reseller instead of Clover directly. Check your own statement.
What one online order costs on Clover
| A $30 order through | Fee | You keep |
|---|---|---|
| Clover online ordering | $1.15 (3.5% + 10¢) | $28.85 |
| DoorDash, Basic plan | $4.50 (15%) plus card processing | under $25.50 |
| DoorDash, Premier plan | $9.00 (30%) plus card processing | under $21.00 |
DoorDash rates are from our DoorDash fees page. Clover's own ordering is far cheaper per order than a delivery app.
A month at 300 online orders
Say $30 average and 300 online orders a month, $9,000 in online sales.
| Option | A month |
|---|---|
| Clover online ordering (processing only) | $345 |
| Nomback app, paid through your Clover | $444 ($345 + $99) |
| Nomback app, paid through Stripe (2.9% + 30¢) | $450 ($351 + $99) |
| DoorDash, 15% to 30% | $1,350 to $2,700 before processing |
The plan fee is left out of every row because you pay it either way.
What Clover's online ordering doesn't do
It gives you an online menu page with your name on it. It doesn't give you your own app in the App Store and Google Play, and it doesn't send push notifications to people's phones. That's the part that brings a regular back on a slow Tuesday, and it's what Nomback adds. It runs on top of Clover, so orders still print on your Clover and show up in your reports. If a web menu page is all you need, Clover's is the cheapest way to do it.
