  1. We have a diner and use clover. Most guests check out on the way out at the host station, and they tip on the terminal.
    Sometimes guests want to pay with credit card at the table but when we drop the printed credit card authorization slip we have to draw in the tip line because Clover makes you choose only one option to tip either on the terminal OR on the printed receipt. It would be great to be able to have both options. Thanks!

  6. It would be great if you could include a button that allows us the option to show tip suggestions on the screen or print on receipt on demand. Sometimes I need it to be printed on paper when bring it to a customers table and other times if they pay at the register i would like it to show on the screen. I know you can choose one or the other in print settings but its a hassel to switch back and fourth

  7. When a customer pays with Apple pay, it allows them to enter a tip but does not show the tip in the tips app. It acts as if that transaction has not entered any tip. This is true for all nfc payment methods.

  9. Occationally someone accidentally adds a tip that didn't want to, or tips more than they mean to. There is no way for us to go in and adjust the tip for them. We would like to see this function added to make it more convenient for our guests.

  10. 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…

  11. 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

  13. 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

  14. 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

  15. I had a restaurant owner ask if we had the ability to have a tip report that has the option to deduct a percentage off the tips owed to a server to cover the discount rate the restaurant would pay on the tips. Example. Server has $100.00 in credit card tips for the day. The tip report would calculate the 3% fee the owner will pay on tip and deduct the $3 and say the server will be paid out $97. This feature will save the owner thousands of dollars a year. I lost the deal due to not having…

  16. MERCHANTS THAT REQUIRE SIGNATURE/TIPS ON PRINTED RECEIPTS ARE ABLE TO ADD TIPS TO CHECKS AND GIFT CARD TRANSACTIONS IN THE TIP APP. HOWEVER, THE CLOVER EQUIPMENT DOESN'T INCLUDE THOSE TIPS IN THE REPORTING APP AND DO NOT APPEAR IN THE WEB DASHBOARD. SEVERAL MERCHANTS HAVE PREVIOUSLY CALLED EXPLAINING HOW THIS HAS MADE IT DIFFICULT WHEN CALCULATING THEIR END OF YEAR TOTALS BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN ADDING TIPS TO CHECKS AND GIFT CARDS THROUGHOUT 2020 IN THE TIP APP.
    THE FEATURE OF SHOWING CHECKS AND GIFT CARDS IN THE TIP APP AND BEING ABLE TO ADD TIPS IN THE APP SHOULD…

  17. At this moment, if an employee uses the Register app, the tips go to the person who cash out the transaction. For example, Joe takes a phone order and hit "save" using the Register App. Then, Peter cash out that transaction. The tips goes to Peter instead of Joe. We need to fix this because a full service restaurant has a lot of take out orders. And the servers do not share the tips. Creating tables on Clover Dinning as a workaround won't work when there are lots of take-out orders. Opening Bar & More tab won't work either because…

  20. Restaurant managers should have the capability to adjust ANY tip that is received by customers - not just the ones that are left on a printed receipt. Customers make mistakes during the on-screen tipping option by adding an extra zero, selecting the wrong percentage, or accidentally hitting the "Skip" button, etc. Every other POS that I have ever worked with has this function and it is shocking and disappointing that Clover devices don't have this option.
