  2. We have an issue when issuing a manual refund to a customer without a receipt, there's no way to attach a generic item or specific item to it. Why can't I scan an item or attach a item in the inventory to it? We're in retail and that would make sense. Reporting is very off because of this problem.

  4. We use Clover for our retail business and would like more flexibility with exchanges. Many times, the exchange is not for an exact priced item. The work a round is time cumbersome - Issue an in-store credit, because sometimes the item can't be refunded. Create a new sale for the exchange for items and then pay via a split transaction of in-store credit and regular payment.

  5. When an owner sets permission on employee app for refunds to only be allowed by an admin or manager, Merchant notices that on the reporting app under employee report, the refund is not reporting on the original employee that took the original payment, it is being recorded under the admin or manager because they are the last one who handled that transaction, however this is very inconvenient on the reports as I think it should be reported under the person who took the original payment as managers and admins are not the cashiers, they just want to secure that employees…

  6. I have multiple restaurants set up with clover dinning. The scenario I am about to describe is an issue across the board. Clover help center and tech support have not been able to properly address this issue. Here are the steps included to lead up to the problem.

    1. Server is closing out an open order to $100.00 cash.
    2. For whatever reason a refund is needed.
    3. Manager on duty is called over to access refunds to apply to the open order.(Obviously we don't want servers doing refunds).
    4. The cash is refunded to the manager while still showing going out of the…

  9. When running bogo 1/2 off sales which we do daily, Clover software doesnt work. If the customer is bringin back the higher price item from the BOGO 1/2 off sale, the refund only know to either issue the full dollar amount for that. It should be far less because a customer should never be allowed to get a free t shirt at half off. Please fix! It's so time consuming having to caluclate on the side the dollar amount we then have to issue as a manual refund. Inventory is also off at that point too because there's no log…

  14. partial refunds within the Clover dashboard. As of the current system configuration, there are specific limitations related to partial refunds based on the transaction type:

    1. Virtual Terminal or Physical Clover Terminal Transactions:

    o You can process partial refunds for transactions conducted through the virtual terminal or a physical Clover terminal.

    o If a customer requests a partial refund for a charge made using either of these methods, you can initiate the refund directly from the Clover dashboard.

    1. Payment Links or HCO (Hosted Checkout) Transactions:

    o Unfortunately, partial refunds are not supported for transactions completed via payment links or HCO.

    o…

  15. Hello Clover,

    A lot of my Retail merchants would like the ability to assign a customer to a manual refund. Just like how merchants can assign customers to a sale in the Clover Register.

    The reason for this is sometimes the Merchant is unable to process a refund via the Orders/Transactions app via the debit card on file. When that happens they are only able to process a refund via a cash payment but sometimes the customer is not in the store to receive the cash.

    As a result the merchant has to perform a manual refund. When doing that…

  17. Customer places an order for $300 and leaves a deposit of $150 but later calls to change from one items to another but doesnt change significantly the price, when removing the changed item, it will have to be refunded. Then now the customer has to close out the order but now has to add more money to the $150 original deposit. They were very confused and no one don't want to have that when it comes to customers and their money or order. The deposit amount should apply to the total order and any changes made not affect the deposit

    Hello, 


    Thanks for your feedback. This does seem like a good idea. 


    Are there specific modes of transactions that you would like to be notified about (e.g. On device, Ecommerce, Hosted Checkout, all)? 


    Also, any preference for how notifications are delivered (e.g. SMS, Email, push, all)?


    Would it be helpful to set up thresholds (over a specific amount) that trigger these alerts? 


    Thanks, 

    Clover Product

  20. Is there a way for a merchant to enter notes in for a refund being issued? Currently they can only do notes for orders and sales, and any refund listed in the orders can only be noted after the fact.

    We will be adding the ability to enter a reason for a void, refund or order modification. You'll be able to set up a list of reasons for these different scenarios. Look for more details to be announced in the near future.
