  1. It would be very helpful and save time if we could attach discounts to categories, so that when we ring up customers, the different categories, that have different sale prices will just automatically be applied instead of having to click on each item and apply a discount. Which is time-consuming.

  2. PA is issuing new SNAP EBT cards; they are telling retailers that POS devices must be updated to successfully read the devices. Per the instructions provided: Will not work at retailer point-of-sale (POS) without the appropriate updates.
    Will have a magnetic stripe and retailers must ensure that their POS system allows for SNAP EBT chip cards to “fallback” to magnetic stripe until SNAP EBT chip cards are fully supported on their POS device(s)/system. This is referred to as Empty Candidate List (ECL)fallback.

  3. In the inventory tab under price and next to Qty there was a Cost line please add this back. This is very important to have so we know quickly when updating inventory if we need to adjust the price of the item or when giving a discount, we will be able to quickly identify our margin. I do not understand why this would have been removed.

  5. Inventory Refunds/Returns need to be able to automatically add the item back into inventory. Ideally, this would be configurable at the Item level to indicate if the item is to added back to inventory upon a refund.

  6. We have multiple people who log into our clover because they need to change inventory and it would be nice to have an admin user but then have other log ons under the same dashboard so we could select what permissions they have or not have. Also it would help with having to get a code every 14 days being sent to a single person to then have to get to person requesting.

  7. Before a new feature is added in a Clover Update, please make a help document for the website.

    This well help merchants learn the function, turn it on/off, etc.

    Pretty straightforward lol.

    Thank you for hardwork you do, and this would be a QOL self-help resource.

  8. Merchant would like to be able to see an audit trail of when an item was added to inventory, any changes made to that item (quantities, price, etc.), when items were sold and, most importantly, when an item was deleted from inventory. It would be fine if this functionality was a requested report. Merchant has multiple users with access to inventory and if one user accidentally deletes inventory there is no audit trail to see when that was done and by whom. We thought Clover might have a back end audit trail for deleted inventory items and we were told…

  9. I am inquiring about the absence of inventory cost and total value display within the Point of Sale system. As a long-standing client since 2016, I am surprised this functionality has not yet been implemented.

    My search within the app market for a suitable solution for retail inventory management has been unsuccessful, as most available applications cater to the restaurant and bar sectors.

    I urge you to address this deficiency, as accurate inventory tracking is crucial for my business operations. Implementing this feature would significantly enhance efficiency and streamline my business processes, thereby mitigating the need to consider alternative POS…

    1. Display the total quantity of items being purchased.
    2. Provide a high volume alert or beep different sound when a barcode fails to scan. 3.Automatically separate EBT/FOOD STAMP eligible items from non-eligible items before the customer completes the purchase.

    These enhancements would improve checkout efficiency, reduce cashier errors, and create a better customer experience

  11. 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.

  12. I need to create an invoice feature that, when there are multiple same items shows the price of each product on the invoice instead of only showing the total quantity and total price without any breakdown. Every time customers receive the invoice, they don’t know how much each product costs and have to ask again to confirm.

  13. Data entry should be fast and easy - keyboard only. Tab, enter data, and tab again until finished. NO SCROLLING! User should NEVER have to scroll 37 miles down the page to read what could easily fit on one page.

    Change the control property on each section to "can grow/shrink" instead of being hard formatted a particular size.

  14. Currently, there is no option to add a description or terms to an ongoing reward. It would be very helpful to have the ability to include reward rules and restrictions directly within the reward details.

    For example, I would like to specify that rewards cannot be combined with other promotions and that clients must choose either the promotional offer or their rewards. I would also like to state that rewards expire one year after they are earned.

    Having a description field would help clearly communicate these terms to clients, reduce the need for manual explanations, and minimize misunderstandings or misuse…

  17. It would be great to add the ability for partial payments to be made on an invoice with a toggle to enable or disable per invoice. This option is crucial for invoices that require a deposit then full payment due at time of service/delivery.

  18. When selecting a Revenue Class while creating or editing an item in Inventory, the dropdown list displays Revenue Classes in the order they were created, rather than alphabetically. This becomes cumbersome for merchants with a large number of Revenue Classes, requiring excessive scrolling to locate the correct one.

    Please consider adding:

    • The ability to sort Revenue Classes alphabetically in the dropdown or
    • A search bar within the dropdown to quickly locate the desired Revenue Class

    This small change would significantly improve efficiency when managing inventory.

  19. Currently, when an order is completed and "Pay" is selected, Clover immediately opens the payment screen. To add a customer's name or phone number, staff must go through additional steps, which slows down the checkout process.
    Request: Before displaying the payment options (Cash/Card), show a simple pop-up with fields for:
    Customer Name
    Phone Number
    Skip Button
    This would make customer information collection much faster and more efficient, especially during busy periods.
