  2. Enhancing Clover's retail variant capabilities to support creation of variants via the Web Dashboard and Importing of variants via Spreadsheet

    Many retailers sell at least some merchandise with variants. Clover offers no way to import such inventory when we sell Clover to an existing business, nor does Clover allow merchants to create and manage variants via the Web Dashboard.

    Clover's retail variants cannot be created or effectively managed via the Web Dashboard.

  4. It is very difficult to use the new inventory layout because you cannot view all items and scroll quickly though all of the items. Each time you have to click on "show more" every time to get back to the same spot in the list after you edit an item.

  5. I need my Managers to be able to access the Multi-User Dashboard to enter new items in inventory. With only Owner access, it means I must create all new inventory items. Otherwise, my Manager has to create it in one location and then duplicate it in our second retail location.

  6. We continue to have issues with our inventory system due to common scenario when a customer calls in an order or emails an order. The problem is we are unable to enter the order into clover without them paying for it at that time. What happens we can enter the order and save it, but it doesn’t take the product out of inventory. While we wait for the customer to come in and pay, someone else on line or in store can still purchase the item and buy it from underneath the customer who has it on hold because it…

  8. It would be great if the inventory bulk import capability could be enhanced to include the "Min Required" and "Max Allowed" fields for each Modifier in the Modifier Groups worksheet so that you have a fully functional bulk import capability. I'm not sure how this was missed from the original design? The bulk import capability is a nice tool, but from a user experience perspective, it is currently painful to have manually configure the "Min Required" and "Max Allowed" fields for each Modifier. This is even more painful when you have multiple locations with the same menu items.

  9. With the inventory redesign, we've lost the ability to add a Revenue Class/Label when creating and adding a new item to the inventory. In the old version of inventory, we had a drop down menu called Labels that let us select our Revenue Class/Label. Now, we have to add the item and then go to Revenue Classes separately and then into the Revenue Class and then add the item to the Revenue Class. This is much more time consuming when adding many items, which we do nearly every day. For now we've switched back to the old inventory design but…

  10. Adjustments to the inventory need a way to be tracked and logged. Otherwise anyone with access could just change an items inventory to say whatever and walk away with the difference. the lack of this feature is surprising honestly.

  15. It would be nice to have an additional filter added to the Orders app (Status) so that you could quickly sort Paid vs Unpaid orders. This is something that can be pulled by exporting the data, however that elongates the process.

  16. Ability for open order to show up in the customer's app. Also, Open orders should be display indefinitely until paid so we are able to remind clients o payment. For me it is imperative to be able to invoice clients and remind them of payment overdue. Open payments are very important.

  18. The old inventory layout is so much easier to use than the new.
    1. In the item details page: it has the ability to tab through the fields and enter item info quickly. The new layout has drop down boxes that have to be clicked on to open and continue entering info.
    2. The item details page (when you select an item to edit the details) is much more condensed; there's no need to scroll. The new layout is unnecessarily large, lots of wasted space and you don't see everything at once.
    3. The inventory page shows all the necessary…

  20. Multi-Location Inventory management functionality is subpar compared to the existing functionality in individual location dashboards.

    We urgently need export/import functionality for bulk item, categories, labels and location assignment editing. We have 2000 items that has to be centrally managed (via Multi-location dashboard) and synced between all locations. It is unrealistic to go and change 2000 items from begin with.

    Also it is unrealistic to Multi-location manage items from Web dashboard only. Individual clover terminals at different locations has to offer a feature to edit according properties for location, category, label assignment and those shall propagate to all other locations if…
