  1. Please make the recurring payment page alphabetically by plan name! I'm not sure why it wouldn't have been built that way from the start.

  3. Currently you can "pause" an entire plan, but not an individuals card. We should be able to "pause" an individuals card within a plan instead of having to delete it and then re-enter it. A "resume" date feature would be great with this also.

  4. It would be great if the emails that are sent out for Reccuring Payments could be customized as well as choosing what is actually sent out. It currently sends out 4 emails in total: credit card added to customer profile, recurring payment amount, payment scheduled date and an email once the transaction was completed. This is too much and overwhelms customers. It would also be great to customize the email that is sent out - we would like to remove the French portion to shorten the length of the email as well as add our own details.

  5. An email should be sent to the client after they make a payment in Hosted Checkout. Email address is already a required field so it should be simple enough to then send the receipt via email. This is pretty common practice with online transactions. The "Payment Received" confirmation page is good, but customers also expect an automatic email sent to them for their records.

  7. Occasionally a customers recurring payment will fail for various reasons, ISF, expired card, etc.
    I originally set up Clover to automatically email receipts when payments were processed.
    I have had an issue with Clover sending receipts that make it appear as though a payment was processed successfully when it actually failed to process. This is an issue, a BIG ISSUE.
    I haven't been able to turn off AUTOMATIC RECEIPTS, except to change each customer, individually.
    CLOVER IS SO MUCH MORE DIFFICULT THAN PAYEEZY. I'm not sure that CLOVER is a good option for our business.

  8. Recurring payment invoices showing a "Failed" status should allow for in the view invoice the resulting bank code as to why it failed i.e. credit card expired, insufficient funds, closed account, etc. This gives me more insight into my customer so I can make decision on how I plan to rectify the account.

  9. I need instead of a delete button a pause button where I can pause a payment in a recurring plan but then able to hit resume when I want. This is crucial!!

  11. This would be so beneficial to those that run their businesses virtual only and do not take actual credit card numbers, adding protection and security for both parties. I am a former Stripe user and they make this super easy for merchants to set up and utilize. It also would be great if we could have payment links for recurring payments where the customer can fill out their cc information and have it saved in the system under their profile.

  13. Recurring Payments should allow for customer tagging with a user defined identifier that would display both on the invoice ledger and transaction ledger. In addition it should be a sortable column. Also the Customer Name should also be a sortable column.

  14. Ability to Export a Recurring payment plan. We have subscription payments each month and I need to be able to export a recurring plan so I can sort it to compare to the list of active subscriptions. Each month we are adding/subtracting subscriptions or prorating amounts. Currently, the list of customers is in a random order.

  15. We were converted from PayEezy. There were a lot of functions in the recurring payments like bulk changes to set a new amount to the entire plans customers and sorting the columns, by name, Exp Date, Next run date, etc. Some of our recurring payment plans have over 400 customers. We can't be expected to enter a change into each account as we have over 1300 transactions entered in our system.

  16. some merchants are requesting for recurring payments to be able to email a link to a customer and then the customer enter the cc info and select the monthly date they want the card debited and that Our competitor Stripe has this functionality.

  18. We are a non-profit that have donors wanting to give monthly. Clover does not have the option for them to enter this themself. This option should be for the donor/customer to enter their own card and choose to give monthly at time of the their first transactions. They would have to enter their donation each month!
    We have lost several donors because this was not an option. PLEASE MAKE THIS AVAILABLE FOR DONORS TO ENTER AND CHOOSE THIS OPTION WITH THIER AMOUNT.
