  1. 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.

  2. 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

  3. When we apply a 100% discount to an item, it does not auto-decrement from inventory. Please make it so comp'd items decrement from inventory.

  4. Clover needs to have the ability to set up Inventory Price Scheduling.
    Many Hospitality/Retail locations will charge different item prices depending on time of day.

    Inventory should have a base Price and then Price level 1, level 2, level 3. etc.
    "Events" or Schedules can be set to use a specific Price level changing all item pricing to that level during that time period.

    Many merchants do not like having Happy Hour displayed as discounts as that adds to confusion on the ordering and customer receipt side, they want the item price changed for that event/time period only. Many Hospitality…

  5. For my retail business, the default list of columns isn't useful and since the system times out every 15 minutes, we must frequently reset the column list or drill into the detailed item update (which is VERY inefficient). Since this app is targeted to retail, it is surprising Product code (UPC) and SKU weren't part of the default column list design. (feels like a hold over from the Clover restaurant focus)

  6. In the Item section, you can’t change the cost in Bulk Edit or Edit; you have to open the actual item to update the cost, which is time-consuming. It would be great to have the option to change the category and modifier directly in Edit as well, instead of having to use Bulk Edit.

  7. 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.

  10. I would like a way to price items including tax. My example is I charge $4.50 for an item "including tax". Our sales tax is 6%. If I set the price for 4.24 w/.25 tax, it comes to 4.49. If I set price for 4.25 w/.26, tax it comes to 4.51. Is there a way to do that or possibly in the future? Thanks!

  12. When entering stock quantities, the staff is able to add more than the amount stocked to check...why? Isn't that the entire reason for adding the stocked quantity?

  13. The Clover does not allow for more advanced searching capabilities such as plu for grocery stores which is crucial for business with large inventory and bulk inventory. When My merchant searches let's say 222 it comes up with all items that have 222 in them and the grocery store assistant has to scroll down forty plus options to get to the item. My merchant told me a 20 year old dos pos can do it so a 20th century pos should be able to do it at bare minimum. This is going to lose you business and needs to be…

  14. Currently, there is no way to bulk edit the items to automatically Track Stock. This is also not reflected on the Inventory load spreadsheet, so the only way to set items to be tracked automatically is to open each and every item and set this option - this is unwieldy for retail establishments with over 10,000 items. Currently, Quantity can be set via the loading spreadsheet but not the ability to automically track stock.

  15. Because many fields are not required when the data is entered, my convenience store staff have entered hundreds of items through the years with no category, no revenue code, no cost. Just a name, price and barcode. It is beyond painful to give hours of my life to export item sales... dig through it to find those records that are wrong. Then fix them.

    On the item list screen. Each filter option should offer blank, empty, or zero records. Heck, if you could sort the blank ones to the top. Imagine if a user could filter for all items with…

  16. When adding inventory - allow the admin to require some fields to be populated.

    I.e. - cost, category, revenue code. Basically any field should be required or NOT at the merchant's choice.

    This would force the user to enter data according to the requirements of the merchant and reduce or eliminate painful clean up tasks.

  17. Please, please, please fix your inventory export report to be useful to retail businesses. At this time, you only have the ability to export ALL items and the report comes out with latest items added. Plus, the headers are not even accurate and you can't quickly re-sort it because you have taken the Revenue/Category off every item and grouped them by variant. Retailers need to be able to pull an accurate report of IN STOCK by category/revenue stream at any given point. The only way to do this right now is sorting by items and printing a PDF that is…

  18. 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…

  19. 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.

  20. 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.
