  3. The service charge should not be in the net sales at the top of the sales overview report that we print at the register to reconcile our register. Our expected deposit is off on the days we have a service charge because that money goes directly to the staff member who had the service charge on their ticket. Example: Expected Deposit -313.35. Register is -751.75 after physical count. Service Charge of -438.40. Add the two together equals -751.75. Should show on bottom line.

  4. We use a variety of internal account numbers referencing other areas of our organization in addition to taking our usual cash/check/card.

    It would be a great asset if we could designate certain tenders as requiring a note field entry when selected, much like the "Check" tender does when you select it.

    Ideally it would show up on exports like the notes do on the checks, so long as it wasn't limited to 12 characters like the " invoice number" option is.

  5. Need option to add/edit a guest after another guest has already paid. Aka partial payment on table in clover dining for guests. For example....table A has 4 "guests" Guest 1 pays leaving it as a "partial payment" guest 2,3,and 4 still need to pay. One of the remaining guests wants to add a round for the table. This is not am option. And would require to make a new order for this and swipe the card two times for their tab under table and additional items. This causes alot of people to not want to get more resulting in loss…

  6. we add a "band fee" to alcoholic beverages during band playing hours instead of charging a cover charge. basically a "reverse" happy hour. so during the times of 6pm to 10pm on a sat evening items in certain category's will automatically be charged a .50 fee.

  8. When adding custom payment type (chips/tickets redeemed for drinks) we can make this a non-revenue payment type and the money can come out of the bottom-line. Options for non-revenue payment type.
    a. Issue is when payments are taken in for chips/tickets, this is a revenue item. We have it set up with an option to be a non-revenue item. However when chips/tickets are swapped for drink sales it only counts as revenue, no option to make this a non-revenue payment type.
    b. Issue: Want net sales after everything is redeemed, and revenue counted when it comes in.

  9. On our new firework products, there are QR codes located next to barcodes. The clover system will scan the QR code. We suffered an estimated loss of $28k due to this issue. When the item is scanned it sound like the item was rung up when in fact it was not and only a very small brief error message at the bottom of the screen appears. We had no idea that clover unit could scan QR codes, and this issue was not discovered until after our season was closed. My suggestion is that clover needs to push a system wide…

  11. MasterCard only allow less than 1% of monthly transactions as fallback transactions threshold, otherwise $2,500/month penalty for the first 9 months of non-compliance and $5,000 for the next 9 months, and $10,000 and $20,000 thereafter.
    For Clover, since the merchant doesn't have a control over what cardholders do (in most cases), it's hard to manage the threshold of fallback transactions.
    Therefore, the merchant should have an option to disallow fallback transaction process (swipe after failed chip attempts) to avoid penalties from MasterCard. Some other applications like of PAX' has an option to disable fallback transaction processing. ATM machines also have…

  12. VERY BIG CHANGE: We'd like to get the option back to text receipts to customers for online transactions (using Virtual Terminal). We are a doctor's office working remotely and adding our patients to your system as 'New Customers' to save their data would be a violation of HIPAA laws. It is too inconvenient to start asking customers to spell out their email address every time we have an encounter with them; before we were able to just use their phone number to send a receipt. Please add this back as a 3rd option for receipts: 1) Email, 2) Text or…

  13. ability to be able to edit a guest after one guest at table has already paid. for example: 4 "guests" at table. guest 1 pays their ticket. guest 2 comes to pay but wants to add a round of beverages to their ticket before paying. this does not allow you to. another example: guest 1 pays their ticket, but guest 2 wants to pay for the drinks on guest 3. you can't change this after one guest has paid.

  15. Because Clover does not separate individual transactions, only total per payment method. If the total number does not match what the computer has, I need to know what the individual transactions were that Clover received (that is a request made). Meanwhile, they can be looked up under Transactions on the device, but whoever programmed that screen left inadequate room to display the date (left column), making the search for a specific transaction a nightmare. Meanhile, there's oodles of room for the center column, which displays the $ amount and also contains a randomly generated code that appears nowhere else. Let's…

  16. Remove the customer message "Remove Your Card" when customers insert their payment card in the payment device prior to the transaction being sent to the payment device. This causes confusion and wastes time when customers remove their card and have to reinsert. Currently, the customer receives the "Remove" message but if the card is left in the device the transaction just continues and completes.

  17. client wants to ask "is this for here or to go" at the end of the transaction and before the customer pays. the way its currently set up is that the order type has to be selected first and then the order is placed.

  19. Allow the seller to specify whether or not an item is EBT valid, and automatically split an order so that EBT can only be used to pay for EBT valid items.

  20. As a retail store we need a 'credit payment' option for customers that have made returns. We can create the credit payment option but the button defaults to 'pay full amount' when pressed instead of asking how much the credit is before closing out the transaction. Allow of 'other' payment categories the ability for the admin to set the payment default from pay full amount to split payment so we can enter in credit or partial gift card payments
