    Clover Invoicing is a tool that is part of Virtual Terminal that allows you to send an email with a link requesting payment from a customer.

  4. The Merchant would like to be able to view a report or list of invoices that have been sent from virtual terminal but not yet been paid.

  5. For the virtual terminal send invoice option, I would like to see a report for the invoices we sent out (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly timeframes). Also,
    I would like to see invoices paid in report form. It would help with determining if we collect more money by invoices vs over the counter and phone payments.

  6. Make the Void Report (and the Void Function) Useful!

    While I'm glad we finally have a report that logs all Voids, we still need major Void and Void report upgrades:
    1. Logging a void is helpful, but owners and managers need to know WHY something was voided. We need to be able to create and assign Void reasons or codes, ESPECIALLY for restaurants.
    2. The current VOID function is almost worthless, because it ONLY works immediately after a payment has been made. Virtually all major competing POS systems and credit card terminals allow voiding of items and payments up until…

  7. When generating an invoice through virtual terminal, there needs to be a simple way to identify the invoices. Could be a new order type or just some label in the order list that says "invoice" or "virtual invoice."

  9. I send a lot of invoices from the virtual terminal and usually all get paid right away but there should be a way to see if one wasn't paid and if I need to follow up with the customer. I think this would be a great add on so we are confident sending invoices knowing we have a confirmation it was paid or not.

  10. Per Clover support, invoices have a 180 period before expiration. It would be really helpful to add the ability to send a notification/email to the customer if the invoice is still unpaid within that time. Even if it's just resending the same invoice link.

  11. Once an invoice is paid, have an email notification sent to merchant to let them know it is paid. Otherwise they have to constantly check their batch/transactions. This would make it much easier to keep track of open invoices and reconcile.

    By default all paid invoices receive an email to the owner of the clover account

  12. When a transaction is cancelled or backed out of, the terminal should read "transaction cancelled" instead of "all done" as the message is the same after a sale is completed so merchants are complaining they wouldn't know if the cardholder backed out of the sale when passed the terminal without verifying the "transactions" app after each sale

  13. A few merchants have contacted me regarding the invoicing on the Virtual Terminal. They would like the ability to change the payment time frame on the emailed invoices. It currently only gives you the option of "pay within 7 days". They would like to be able to change it to "pay immediately" or to change the days out for payments (for example- "pay within 30 days"); or not have any payment time frames at all.

  14. Allow customers to add a tip to their payment when making payment via the "Send Invoice" feature in Virtual Terminal. Your competitors have this feature and I would be leaving a lot of money on the table if I stayed with Clover instead of switching.

  16. The Merchant wants to be able to enter the customer's business name while entering the card information, in the same place as they can enter in customer name and address and phone number information.

    business name is an optional field that can be enabled in VT setup

  17. The Clover Mini can be used as customer facing terminal attached to the Clover Station 2018 or to it self the Clover Mini. Some merchants are using the Clover Mini as a merchant facing terminal instead of the station 2018. It is a known issue with Clover Support that the Clover Mini EMV card slot gets damaged when using metal cards. The ability to attach a relatively inexpensive EMV/CTLS customer facing terminal to the Clover Mini would effectively and efficiently protect the more expensive Clover Mini from being damaged and buy the hardware team time to review / redesign the…

  18. Currently, there's a simple option to send invoices out on the virtual terminal via the Web Dashboard. It's pretty cut and dry.

    I suggest an upgrade to send more detailed invoices to customers where they can see specifically what they're being charged. A breakdown of Categories, Items, and Modifiers would be great. As a customer, it's important to know what you're being charged.

    This will also serve well with Clover Go, which doesn't have the ability to sync with 3rd party invoice apps from the app market.

    Thanks for the consideration!

    Sincerely,
    A concerned merchant services provider

  20. Merchant states that when he processed a sale on the Virtual Terminal he is able to view it on the dashboard. However when he launched the clover go app and goes into the transaction that was processed on VT it does not load. Advised merchant to use the dashboard and confirmed that he is able to see the transaction. Merchant requesting to view VT sales on the Clover go app instead of visiting the Clover dashboard.
