    This would require Clover to create a relatively complex store credit function that tracks store credit for a merchants customers. Unfortunately, we have no plans to do this.

  5. Hello,
    The Refund Process do not work correctly, it should work like the discount process, where the waitress ask for approve and a pop up screen is displayed for a manager pin. At that point the manager will enter he/her pin. Since it does not work with way and the manager need to log into the system to refund an order, the refund order is logged under the manger shirt report and not the waitress shirt report. This is causing issue this tip especially with cash refunds at the end of the night because there refund is not show on…

  6. Hi - I am the manager of a small to mid size retail store and we are really struggling with returns and exchanges on the Clover. Especially at the time of purchase, we aren't able do an exchange and issue a credit on the same transaction. If we could do that, our lives would be a lot easier. In addition- we would like for manual refunds to have an item associated to the dollar amount going back to customer for inventory reasons. Thank you

  7. If a card was ran on an incorrect bill and refund was issued (refund is the only way to void the credit card payment), a new order needs to be created and sent to the kitchen to process the card with the correct amount. There is no way to edit the order after the payment was refunded. Much needed in a restaurant environment - servers run cards on incorrect tables, customers realize their portion of the bill was split incorrectly, etc. Need to be able to void the payment without voiding the order. Once we rant a private party's card…

  8. Merchant would like the device to pre-auth the amount-- which it does-- but instead of charging the customer a separate amount, and then refunding them the pre-auth amount, he would like to have it just refund them the amount that was not used by the customer.

    Merchant explained that with the current way, it is causing his customers to call him thinking that they were double charged.

  10. Our business would like to be able to scan or attach an item to a manual refund. We’d like the software to also register sales tax, etc on the refund as we’re currently having to do it on a calculator outside of register. Gets very complicated with larger orders. This makes sense if it were laid out identical to the “register” except total become a credit/refund to the customer rather than a sale.

  11. I had old clover base station. It has Manual Transaction app on it.
    But, I bought new base station 2018. I went to app market to find and
    install. It not available.
    My restaurant still using old system to print bill. Then enter manually
    each transaction to charge for customers. With old base station was
    perfect. But newest base doesn’t have?
    Please make it! Now newest base station take to much time to do custom
    order and charge each time.
    Thank u!

  13. Refunding debit manually does not link to the order that was refunded. This can be financially impacting to merchants customers can potentially request additional refunds to the same order which will reflect. An option for cash refund should be listed on Debit transactions. Work around for manual refunds is to leave a note on the order to illustrate it was refunded.

  15. May I suggest a few things.

    Allow for a merchant to denote an item scanned/rang in on the register screen as a *refund/exchange. If the total amount is negative, the "PAY" button is inactive, a "refund" button appears and then the CREDIT is issued back to the customer. An option on the item screen near discounts or something to denote it as a "refund/exchange" item is what would make most sense.

    Our issues right now include returns on BOGO 1/2 OFF sales, partial refunds, exchanging for other items with a different price and the inability to attach an item to…

  17. Hello,
    Once the order is refund you can not reopen the order for payment. So can we have a function to copy closed or refunded orders to make it easier to processed these order so we do not need to manual recreate them.

  19. As a Clover merchant I need the ability to refund a partial set of items on an order with many items AFTER the order has been paid (but before the payment card batch) so that if a customer changes their mind I can easily refund part of the entire order.

    Hello,

    Thank you for your suggestion, but this request does not align with our current priorities. However, we will support refund by item after closeout in an upcoming release. 

    Best, 
    Clover Product
