  1. I am not a restaurant but I have been using the "alternate name" field for over 7. years and not on the restaurant plan. Suddenly that "alternate name" field is missing. I have a lot of key information in that field. I use it for part numbers and other descriptors for over seven years now. Removing that field from an existing plan without checking how it may impact customers, was short sided. Please bring it back to the other plans. I can still search for info in that field but cannot edit. What happened? Please had that field back.

  2. Made the mistake of deleting items I no longer have in my inventory from a Category on the POS. This Category has almost 1,000 items. Since everything needs to be manually entered and alphabetized, I wanted to make it easier when adding new items to this category by deleting items I no longer have in inventory. Upon doing so, all the items within this category de-alphabetized!! This is 4 YEARS of inventory no longer in alphabetical order. If items cannot be deleted from a Category on the POS without this catastrophic event occuring ,there should be some type of a…

  5. The Clover Software really should take a priority on helping retailers with the inventory management>export>reporting features. If you all are not able to enhance this area you should really not market yourself as a solution for retailers. The fact that you can't 1. See current items in stock only, not all entries you have ever had 2. Ability to see in and out of when you add things to inventory 3. The Item export report is TERRIBLE and the column headers are not even accurate ie- Revenue detail comes through on the label column and with the latest changes the…

  6. Inventory "Manual" reduction vs. "Automatic" reduction.

    When setting Inventory to automatically track reduction when items are sold, the "Manage Availability" option is defaulted to "Manual" instead of "Automatic."
    Which means that each time a new item is added, the merchant must remember to edit and change to "Automatic." It makes no sense. It should be defaulted to "Automatic" since the Inventory setting on top left show that stock levels will reduce automatically. Can this be corrected. I have a very upset Merchant who now has to go back and edit each inventory item. He has thousands of items and is…

  7. It would be very helpful to have the ability to add/edit the "alternate name" field within the dashboard or inventory app. This currently lives in the import template file only and we use this to print our product labels.

  8. Modifiers need to be quick edited on the same screen. For a retail business such as a plumbing supply store there are 3 prices for every item. These prices such as copper pieces for pipes change every day. Clover is missing out on retail businesses where being able to quickly change these 3 modifers prices that is associated with the one item. Quickbooks desktop has made this simple on all one screen. And in the same modifier discussion, when the modifier is added in the register the individual price disappears when more than one modifier is added. Contractors are asking…

  9. On the Item Sales Report, the SKU and Product Code are the same, taking from the SKU i think. The product code is not accurately showing. This needs to be fixed.

  10. There's already the option to add images for online views but it would be great if you could choose to show those on the physical registers as well. For some items, postcards for example, it would be easier for my clerks to simply match the image rather than trying to choose the correct description. This would also help with inventory checks if they could make sure they're counting the correct item when there's products with similar names or descriptions.

  11. We'd like to be able to view up to 999 items per page like before the last update. Now we can only view 200 per page which means more clicks and room for error having to switch between more pages

  13. Please add the ability to export our item lists to a CSV file so it can properly be imported into other addons such as Ecwid. This will make updating and creating an online store easier and more organized.

  14. Please add the ability to associate a cost to a item modifier as that additional item has both a price and a cost from an accounting stand point. If I am adding an item (modifier) to the sale of an item, that cost needs to go up for things to be accurate and help track and improve margin numbers year to year.

  15. Modifiers pricing should have the options to be fixed or variable by percentage. All our catalog is customizable and the prices must vary depending on the quantity and the price of each variable. If a customer orders more (eg. business cards) the modifiers should increase the value by a percentage. Modifiers been fixed, at certain quantity break, make the cost of the items very low or very high. Creating a the same fixed modifier for every quantity would be a gigantic task.

  17. Item List - > add the ability to show a column to display if the item is set to Automatically manage availability or Manually manage Availability.

    Also the ability to select Multiple Items to set them to either Automatic or Manual instead of having to go into each item and set this field

  19. Customer needs to reset inventory to zero due to duplicates and triples of items and start with a clean blank inventory/ items. No items in the Clover whatsoever. Currently, Clover makes you bulk edit at 200 items at a time. With over 18000 items this takes over an hour to click and click and click to erase back to zero.

    For example, the 3 lines where its export/ import/ print/ item settings to have a reset inventory items to zero. Make the merchant require a 2 factor authentication to actually reset the inventory to zero items to eliminate a chance…

  20. A modifiers column and modifier prices are not available columns in the item list in the Clover dashboard. Merchants have to click onto the item which is a blue link to see the modifier and click the modifier to change the prices. For example, a plumbing retail store has 3 modifiers for 6000 items. Currently, the merchant can look at his 6000 items and see all 3 prices next to the same item along with margin % in correlation with the cost (which Clover does have the cost column currently which is a positive) Since Clover already has the cost…
