  1. Ability to add modifier with a negative amount. This can be used in instances when the modifier decreases the price of the item.
    Example Item has a retail price listed as $80, the modifier would be a wholesale discount -$10.

  2. Having a lot of experience with the other major POS providers in the market, I am very surprised that Clover does not have a better inventory management system. Virtually all of Clover's direct competitors offer this essential service. Currently, all third party apps are clunky and create more confusion than help.

    I believe Clover should specifically have the ability to:

    1.) Set low inventory thresholds and reorder quantities. (dynamic thresholds would be best to accommodate business's with changing seasonal sales)
    2.) Ability to assign each product to a corresponding vendor
    3.) Ability to create purchase orders for inventory below the…

  5. We really need to have certain items not discountable. It will help everybody not to work in negative if we already have products on special prices. We were surprised that clover does not have the option. Please pay attention to the problem, it is a really helpful option.

  6. PLEASE allow to exchange items for other items with a different value. It makes little to no sense why this is not doable, especially in a retail setting. Makes the checkout process much more timely which in turn hurts flow through our shop.

  12. It would be great to have fields added to the clover excel import sheet that can express the relationships between items with variants.

    Currently, if "Items with Variants" are added to an inventory, that inventory cannot be exported and then re-imported back during an inventory audit process. The "items with variant" relationship between multiple items cannot be expressed with the current Excel import model.

  13. When you export inventory to edit via Excel, you cannot delete Items/Categories/Modifiers/Labels and have that information delete when you import it back into Clover. This takes a significant amount of time to go through via the dashboard and delete everything here instead

  15. we do a lot of custom orders that require a deposit. then have customers come and add more stuff to the order and we can not add anything else to the order once a payment has been processed. we have to make an additional order for the same customer. then bill them out on multiple invoices. i need to add items after a partial payment has been received to eliminate the customer having to swipe his CC multiple times for different orders on the same job.

  17. I will be taking orders for pickup the following day so this may cause major mis communication problems for my customers and I. The other solution is for the ability to edit the text messages guests receive after placing an order.

  18. Merchant requesting a way to sort inventory categories and modifiers alphabetically. IN addition merchant is requesting
    when adding an item and then added to the category , the category is then added to the bottom of the list when adding the next item. IT would be
    more convenient if that category were added to the top of the list instead of the bottom.

  20. Being able to refund a MODIFIER when we don't want to refund the whole item or whole order.
    For example, someone orders a salad and chooses to ADD CHICKEN (which is a modifier). That modifier is +$6.
    Later that day, the customer calls because their salad did not include chicken & they want to be refunded for the chicken ONLY.
    Right now, you can only refund the whole item (salad + chicken) or the whole order. We want to be able to refund MODIFIERS (only the $6 for adding chicken).
