  1. It would be helpful when creating a QR code or Payment link if the customer can choose the number of items they are purchasing. For example, a non profit is selling tickets for thier Gala. The customer can purchase more than one ticket however there is no way today that they can select the number of tickets being purchased. Is that something that we can add?

  2. Include Discount Button(s) on Payment Screen (rather than having to choose it on order screen). Guests do not usually present discount cards until the payment process, so we find cashiers having to back out, click the discount pull-down, then choose a discount. Having up to 2 discounts and a third button that links to existing discount pop-up) would save time and effort.

    Having up to 3 discount buttons would be great!

  3. I contacted Clover Support, who told me Clover updated on 11/1/23 and removed all Custom Tender options set up by our company while selling gift cards. Example: when on the payment screen while loading a gift card, there used to be our custom tenders under the "Other" section, but all of our custom names have been replaced by "Check" and "Mail/Phone Order". The custom names are still on our account under Account & Setup > Tenders>Custom Tenders, they just do not actually show up on any devices in our company after the update.

    The support rep said there is no…

  4. 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.

  6. Merchant has requested a functionality for House Accounts

    • Restaurants set up house account, where the customer agrees to pay the total amount due by the end of each month. The customer can then simply come in and eat lunch, while accruing charges to their house account and receiving an invoice at the end of the month

  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.

  9. No Cash Option for EBT
    We would like a way to make it so the merchant can shut off the "cash" option for EBT/SNAP benefits when checking out a customer.

  10. 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.

  11. On the dashboard, in account and setup, under Payment links, it isn't possible for a merchant to add taxes to a payment link, button, or QR code payment. A merchant with the Essential plan, integrated to Quickbooks, cannot sync taxes to quickbooks with payment links. Also, there is no detail about what the customer in buying under payment link. The ''Basic information name'' doesn't show anywhere in the payment link.

  12. 1) Instead of attempting to process different recurring payments transactions at unpredictable times during the day, can they all be attempted uniformly at 7am? 2) And can there be a setting for each one to be only attempted once a day?

  13. The Clover Disputes page should offer merchants the ability to not pursue an arbitration filing in the event their chargeback dispute is rejected. Fiserv's existing Dispute Manager tool offers this, but Clover does not. Losing arbitration comes with fees of up to $500, and it is unfair to force every dispute to carry that risk when the means to avoid this risk already exist.

  14. Is it possible on the order receipt to have Surcharge information available. With a sit-down restaurant without a handheld device, the order receipt is presented to the customer and then payment is taken. Having the transparency to have the surcharge amount on the receipt to show the total after the surcharge, so the order receipt presented to the customer and the payment receipt when surcharge applies alligns

  15. The state of Tennessee is now charging taxes on mandatory gratuities or service charges. Most POS systems have updated to allow the users to add taxes to those fees (typically 18% or 20% gratuity) to pass the burden to the consumer. Clover has not added this option which is causing businesses using it to pay an additional tax amount each month. You will start to lose customers by not adding the option, I am sure.

  16. In the transactions search bar, we should be able to enter a customer name or business name to find a transaction or multiple transactions within a specific date range. The current system does not allow for this specific search. Our firm was on the Payeezy platform, and it allowed us to search by name seamlessly.

  20. Please improve the template on your payment receipts. I have a wine shop, and we do a lot of volume discounts for our customers. Your current receipt template is confusing, as it just lists the total cost next to the item. For example, if a customer buys 12 bottles of a wine, the receipt just shows the total amount on the line item. For a sale like that, we offer a 20% standard discount, but again, your receipt just shows the total amount of the discount.

    What would make things easier is if you could format the receipt so it…
