  1. 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.

  2. We must have another grat button! I can't charge 18% on to go orders! We need more grat buttons! In my world of F&B 18% is standard, but parties of 20 or more we charge 20% and for to go's we charge 10 %! at least give us at least 1 more button! I have 2 restaurants and use clover in all and it's killing us!

  3. Obviously you can combine and move guests at payout but that it time consuming and prone to error and confusion. If you know customers are paying separately when they sit you should be able to just create more than one tab at a table. The fact that you can't name guests is ridiculous and just creates more confusion.

  4. My servers are having to take time out from their daily duties to prepare online orders as they come in. There should be an option for us, restaurants, to add a service charge percentage to each online order.

  6. use case is when clover device was offline for a bit, it comes back online and the device attempts to reconcile any offline payments where we see transaction failure (due to any reason). Please provide a mechanism that would allow the salon to retry the processing of any failed offline payment

  8. Popup confirmation before completing the refund. At the moment I have seen a lot of accidental refunds when trying to re-print a receipt on the Transactions App.

  9. Merchant charges other businesses for products. They need the option in Virtual Terminal search field to search the business name and not just by a person's name and email address as the people and email addresses may change from time to time. In the customer field the business name is an option, requesting that be added to the search field to easily locate the correct business to be charged.

  10. Clover currently always fractions of cents ending in .5 up. A common, and more accurate, method of rounding called Bankers Rounding will round .5 up for odd numbers, and down for even numbers. So 1.5 cents rounds to 2 cents, and 2.5 cents also rounds to 2 cents.

    Please allow the tax computation method to be changed to Bankers Rounding. This can be done per account, going forward, and should not affect historical calculations since it's only used to calculate the amount of tax to be paid at the time of sale.

    Here is a website explaining how this works: …

  11. We recently started requiring a deposit for large parties at our wine bar. i made a button to ring in a ticket for half the normal amount to reflect the deposit already paid. my bar tender brought to my attention that this leaves them with only 10% gratuity rather than the 20% we would normally put on a ticket like this. i want to make sure my employees are getting their full tips and not getting short changed. is there anyway we can add a manual input gratity or import the deposit from stripe some how

  12. need an option to discount when purchasing multiple items. for example, circle K offers a single gatorade at $1.79. however, if the customer purchases 2 gatorades, the system knows that if they purchase 2 gatorades it will charge a total of $2.50 total for both. this is the same for tons of items within the store. the barcode scanner needs to be able to distinguish which items receive a discount without extra steps. i have lost 2 merchants to Square because they offer this and we do not. really need a solution to compete with C-Stores

  13. Please allow us to disable partial payment acceptance when using the sale app. If customer does not have the balance for purchase we should be able to just decline the transaction automatically like other devices.

  14. it would be great if tipping screen to be shown right after cards detected (including swiping, sensing or inserts) and before signature, not after transaction amount is entered.

  15. Many gateways have ability to create a button or link to a payment page for customers. This is common with doctors offices and a bunch of other service providers. You click the button, and then redirect to a secure Clover hosted page that gives them the ability to pay an invoice.

  16. Would be really helpful to be able to re-arrange the discount buttons so that those most frequently used are at the top of the screen. As it is now, you have to scroll down making it very easy to hit the wrong button and ultimately use the wrong discount. Please fix!

  17. Restaurants should have the right to add gratuity to checks. Your system doesn't have this option. You have a service fee which is included into the restaurant sales. You have suggested gratuity that prints on tickets; servers need a button that will actually add a percentage of the check to the actual check. Please and thanks

  18. Would like to be able to use the "Skip and Print" option to print tip lines on receipt and then be able to enter those tips in the Tips app. This is currently how it works for normal transactions however for pre-auth transactions the tip line will print on receipt but the tip cannot be added to the transaction later in the Tips app

  20. Not sure if this is something that can be done - there are some merchants who enter transactions with prepaid Visa cards and it accepts, later on voiding due to lack of funds. Is this unique to prepaid cards? Usually with regular credit cards it declines right away if there are not enough funds - can we install this feature for prepaid credit cards?

    Hello, 

    Thanks for your feedback. We're curious, are you referring to card-present or eCommerce payment attempts? 

    Our solutions treat these prepaid cards as general consumer cards, where if the card doesn't have sufficient funds, we return the declined authorization response. 

    Best, 

    Clover Product
