  1. Invoices from Virtual Terminal do not identify the employee who sent the invoice and payments on those invoices refer to generic "employee". Both should be able to be traced to the employee who created the invoice

  2. After a refund the tip and total should be removed from the employee total. They are taking their tips at the end of the night and the refund hasn’t been removed

  3. In restaurants, we have a policy for automatic gratuity of parties of 6 or more. We have to have the gratuity added on our POS system (Aloha) and then we have to run the transaction for the amount before gratuity on clover, then go back into receipts on clover and add the tip, then reprint the receipt. When the receipt is printed with the gratuity, there is no line for additional tip. We need that so badly! Please! We deserve the right to potentially make more than 18%, especially on a difficult party/table/table that wants to be more generous. Please…

  4. . For several of our bar items, we target a price including tax. For example, a can of beer is $3 including sales tax. This makes change-making easier.

    Clover allows only 2 decimal places in the product price field. The sales tax rate field offers 7 decimal places. So to make my pricing work at quantities up to 100, I had to enter several different sales tax rates, to accommodate rounding at different target prices. While this solves my price problem, it creates a sales tax problem, as now my tax rate of collected sales tax will not equal the…

  6. 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…

  7. Please add Text to Pay or Invoice payment link AND a feature that enables merchants to add a Surcharge or Convenience fee for alternate payment method. These payment features would be terrific to have available on the baseline service, Payments only, without use of Inventory, just collecting payments.

  11. I work remotely while my husband is immunocompromised. We bill customers for open orders and currently the orders can only be marked paid from the terminal itself. There should be a way for admin staff to enter those payments through the dashboard, especially with so many people working remotely right now.

    Hello, 


    How are you billing, and collecting payment prior to marking the order as paid? We'd like this information as further details for our review.

  13. It would make much more sense if the program asked the customer if they would like to leave a tip during, or after they are signing the screen. Currently, when we are running a payment for a customer, the program asks for a tip while we are still entering payment information, and it is awkward for us to ask the customer for a tip at that time. We (and Clover) would run more tips if it asked the customer to leave a tip at the time the customer is leaving their signature

    Hello,

    Thank you for your suggestion, but surcharging for a flat fee does not align with our current priorities. However, merchants can currently use our Credit US Surcharging to assess a 3.5% fee.

  15. Support exchanges involving items with differing costs. For example, a customer returns a shirt and buys a cheaper shirt, while receiving the price difference including tax between the two items.

    Retail merchants frequently complain that Clover is too slow during the exchange process, requiring separate transactions to return merchandise and then sell new merchandise. This is a basic feature of most retail POS systems.

  16. Native functionality to support the typical discounts retailers use, such as: (1) Buy One, Get One for x % off; (2) Bundled discounts; (3) Spend X discounts; (4) Quantity Discounts

    Retailers frequently offer promotional discounts to encourage upselling, promotion of new products, and to clear out old inventory. This is so common within the industry that Clover needs a much better solution to effectively serve retail merchants.

    Zaytech offers an app with some of this functionality, but it is buggy and doesn't work with variants

  17. PLEASE make a way to either alphabetize tax rates as they are displayed or to put the most common at the top or at least add a Search function. I frequently travel to various counties and states and it is painful to scroll through to find the one I am in at the time (and try to find and uncheck the one I was in yesterday). It would also be helpful to have the currently-selected tax rate(s) appear at the top.

  18. PLEASE bring back Tip line on both the Clover terminal AND the printed receipt!
    This option was recently removed and guests want to pay with a credit card at the table on their printed ticket but we also have customers that pay at the counter and choose to tip on the terminal screen too. We need both options back again, please!

  20. On Android tablets, there is no way to stop the Clover Go app from going into landscape mode on the TIP/Signature screens. Merchant would like to ability to remain in portrait mode for the entire payment sequence. The Clover Go app ignores portrait mode lock in settings.
