  1. Verification of duplicate transaction.

    Please do away with this verification. It only confuses everyone and grinds service to a halt. What if the employee accidently presses the wrong button after the customer has left? It HAS happened. Why would there ever be a duplicate transaction? My Clover Flex doesn't make transactions and charge customer's cards on its own, does it?

    Sometimes I have a customer that needs to pay on separate transactions but with the same card. How can two transactions for two different totals be a duplicate? First purchase is for $24 and the other is for $8 yet…

    Hello,

    An enhancement to this Duplicate Payment Challenge will be available in a future release. In the future, the duplicate notification will only be presented if the same amount and card are used within a few seconds. 

    Thanks,

  2. We need to be able to offer quantity discounts and for them to be automatically applied.

    I have a donut shop and offer a $1.50 discount when customers purchase 6 donuts and a $3.50 discount when they buy 12. Wen they buy 18, they get $5.00 off ($3.50+$1.50), when they buy 24 they get $7off ($3.50+$3.50), they buy 30 they get $8.50 ($3.50+$3.50+$1.50) and so on.

    Right now the only way I can apply the discount is by setting up a $1.50 and $3.50 discount and manually applying them to each sale which adds quite a few steps to the…

  3. It would be great if invoices from recurring payments could be changed from failed to paid or even deleted once completed. Also would like to be able to pause individual clients within the recurring payment programs instead of only being able to pause all or none. Lastly would like to be able in recurring payments to adjust the payment date when needed without having to delete the person and readd them.

  4. You should be able to revise customer payment information. We have a lot of customers that are on a monthly subscription with us. There are times when they have to get a new card and we need to be able to update that customer's information with the new card. OR a minor change like that CC expired and we need to be able to update the credit card exp date. Simple things like that would sure be useful rather than having to delete the entire customer and set them back up again.

    Also, seems silly that once we enter the…

  5. I would like to display Payment Link names (QR Code, Link and button) in the dashboard so I can differentiate between various campaigns. Currently, they all show up as "Custom Item" and that's not very helpful.

  7. An option to allow merchants to select whether the Tip line prints for large parties when the "Auto Gratuity" feature is selected. Currently, it is still showing the Tip line even when the extra Service Charge is assigned.

  8. There should be a way that we can add a custom field to a payment page. We need our customers to enter their file# (required) so that we can cross-reference their payment to the proper account. There are preset fields we can add to the payment page but we need to be able to add a custom field labeled "File #", put it at the top of the checkout page, and make it required. That value also needs to be visible on reports and the payment receipts.

  9. Currently the New Clover Go app displays the new sale screen by Items only. If you want to filter the items by a category you have the ability to select the "categories" option in the top left corner and it will filter out the items to only the items in that particular category.

    It would be very helpful if there was a setting option in the Clover Go app to change the sale screen display to a category view. Just as it was on the G1 app before. That way, instead of the merchant viewing all their items and then…

    Hello, 


    Can you confirm if you're on the Clover Payments Plus plan? The ability to edit a customer's profile is available today within our Essentials plan.

  11. It would be nice to be able to make or change recurring charges from the clover station. Currently it seems the only way to do that is from the clover back office web portal. Not all of my employees have web dashboard access.

  12. Payment links should be able to categorize payments coming in. By it not categorizing the payments it makes all reporting functions in the POS null in void as all online payments made just get thrown into uncategorized and then cannot be changed. We run a business that is not a restaurant and the payment links are not a benefit as you loose track of all income if you take any online payments. It is also very inconvenient for our customers not to be able to make payments online with clover.

  14. I think we should be able to change the date customers get charged. I run a wine club and sometimes my dates change for when I need to charge a customer. The only solution the customer service gave me was to end each individual persons subscription and then add them with the new date. Also if that is going to be the solution we should be able to have a way to do a mass add or delete to them.

    Hello, 

    Thanks for your feedback. Are you referring to ACH acceptance within the Clover Hosted Checkout solution? If so, Merchants can already disable ACH within the Clover dashboard. 

    Other questions we have about this are whether you're requesting the ability to disable ACH only on mobile OR enhance the layout so that mobile ACH renders properly. 

    Your response would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

  16. In the old system we used, our clients on recurring payment would sometimes pay their monthly draft in person before the draft occurred. We called that "COLLECT AT CLUB". That would cancel out their upcoming payment and mark them as having paid that month's draft. This does not exist in Clover but what could make this doable would be to allow the START DATE (or NEXT PAYMENT DATE) to be edited like the End Date is. Currently, the START DATE is set and permanent. In order to change the NEXT PAYMENT, a client must be deleted and re-set in the…

  18. Hello Clover,

    A lot of my Retail merchants would like the ability to assign a customer to a manual refund. Just like how merchants can assign customers to a sale in the Clover Register.

    The reason for this is sometimes the Merchant is unable to process a refund via the Orders/Transactions app via the debit card on file. When that happens they are only able to process a refund via a cash payment but sometimes the customer is not in the store to receive the cash.

    As a result the merchant has to perform a manual refund. When doing that…

  19. When taking payment via Invoice, there needs to be a required field for our Invoice Number and Employee Name who sent the invoice. In accounting, we don't know what the payment was for in the reports or who originated the payment. All we have is a customer name and dollar amount. Your support suggested a third-party app which seems unnecessary for such a small thing. Invoice number is required for in person payments, why not for invoice payments.?

  20. We would like to have a control field added to the Virtual Terminal Invoice option, that will transfer over to reporting. We use control numbers for all transactions, on a normal transaction that number carries over to reporting. There is no such field in the Invoice option. This forces our accounting team to spend long lengths of time researching customer names, rather than already having the control data in reporting.
