Compare the true cost of CloverWoo's all-in-one plan to running a sync plugin alongside a separate payment gateway. Estimates based on public pricing.
Flat. Sync + payments + POS ops in one plugin.
Sync plugin at your tier + separate payment plugin.
At 800 orders/mo averaging $45 (about $36,000 monthly GMV):
The stacks are close on subscription cost at this volume. CloverWoo adds auto-print, tipping, customer sync, and one support surface.
Estimates only. QuickSync tiers and Kestrel pricing are based on public information and may vary. This tool excludes card-processing fees, which apply on any gateway.
Most Clover-to-WooCommerce stacks split sync and payments across two plugins, which means two subscription line items every month. QuickSync charges a tiered monthly fee that scales with order volume — roughly $19/mo for the entry tier (up to ~500 orders), $49/mo for the middle tier (up to ~2,000 orders), and around $99/mo at higher volumes. Those tiers are sync-only; QuickSync doesn't process card payments on the WooCommerce side.
To actually charge cards online, merchants on QuickSync also pay for a Clover payment gateway plugin. Kestrel is one of the more popular options, sold as a low-cost annual license that amortizes to roughly $10/mo. Adding the two together gives the “sync + payments” total this calculator compares against.
CloverWoo bundles both sides into a single $60/month plan with no order-volume gates. As order volume grows, the QuickSync stack's tiered pricing creeps up, while CloverWoo stays flat. Most merchants we talk to find that CloverWoo is at parity or cheaper above ~800 orders/month, and gets cheaper from there.
The calculator above ignores card-processing fees on purpose. Those apply equally to any gateway routed through your Clover merchant account, so they cancel out of any like-for-like comparison. What it captures is the part you can actually move with a buying decision: subscription cost.
Even if subscription costs match, running two plugins means two support queues, two update cycles, and two places data can desync. CloverWoo's single-plugin model is structurally simpler — which usually shows up as fewer Friday-evening outages.
