  1. When in the ITEMS list, it would be great if REVENUE CLASS was option to show for visible columns.

  2. 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!

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  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. Please add item pricing type "Per unit" to the new Essentials plan. So it would be "Fixed" "Variable" and "Per Unit" Thank you. Merchants do not want to pay 89.95 a month just to sell per unit

  9. 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?

  10. 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…

  11. 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…

  12. 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…

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. There is currently no way to edit a variant item name. You can edit the overall name of the product, but not the variant. You have to delete the variant and then reupload, which means having to re-enter the price, cost, SKU, product code, stock, categories, modifiers, and more. It adds a massive amount of time when you have to do multiple.

    Thank you for submitting your Idea to UserVoice.

  16. We do not have the ability to turn a normal product into a variant item. This makes things difficult with having to delete and then recreate the item. It would also be great to be able to merge items into one variant item. For example, if I have 15 separate items, I would love to be able to merge them all into one larger item with variants.

    We personally have a product with 75 colors that were all entered as their own product. There is no way to merge them or even just convert one into a variant item. We…

  17. We are using the Manual Transaction App to purchase inventory in a Buy/Sell setting. Clover does not currently have a purchasing option which causes us to use this work around to feed into our accounting software.

    It would be wonderful if there were more features within the Manual Transaction App to allow for us to provide more information on these purchases.

    A custom drop down of Payment method, Created by, and Notes would be wonderful

    Potentially having the ability to scan existing SKUs and apply cost paid for them. Instantly billing them and adding them into inventory.

  18. I work for local discount grocery store that deals with at least nine different vendors if not more sometimes. While I have never worked with any pos systems before I have found that clover is pretty user friendly but I have found a huge halt in the way I would like to be able to use it. They have A LOT of products and are wanting to use this system to go from a "key each item in" register to a "scanning barcodes" register, which is great, but leaves me with the task to input ALL product inventory information into excels…

  19. It would be nice to be able to have a single merchant account and be able to run multiple inventories.

    Example: Parks that have field day events.

    They'll have a device in their gift shop. A device in the ice-cream shop, a device at the ticket booth, and then a floater device.

    It would be nice for them to be able to take the floater device to whichever location is busy and only run through that inventory.

    Currently, you have to run separate MIDs and have to have an extra device for each MID.

  20. When you are entering a new item and add the price, category, costs and inventory numbers the Revenue drop down does not save when you hit save. You have to go back into the item and redo it and hit save again and it will then work. That is so time consuming and would be great to get fixed!
