  3. A way to upload a file for tax rates would be beneficial for the VT merchants that have to manually choose tax rates based on where they are shipping goods. Right now each tax rate has to be manually uploaded if they do not have items.

  4. most of my menu items have 3 sizes/prices. To save room, I have the item listed, and clicking the item reveals the sizes and prices. This is fine. My issue, is that the item itself shows a price of $0.00. That's confusing and embarrassing. I suggest that if a price is set to $0.00, the price should not show at all. I have several items, so to save space and lots of customer scrolling to find their items they want, this system works best for our online menu. i don't want to have to triple the size of my online…

  5. I have only one device. For years, I could simply tap on a “description” of the service I was charging for. It automatically generated the category and the price. The feature was free. When I heard that I would no longer be “grandfathered” in at that free level, I was informed that I could still have the feature if I upgraded to “essentials”. Truthfully the increase to $14.95/month or approx $180/year is not worth the feature. Because I can certainly “spell out” the service in text as an option. Although no big deal, it was great to have my menu…

  6. I have over 800 bolts of fabric, 15 machines and hundred of notions/patterns. While they are in categories, if I need to add a replacement to my fabric , I have to scroll through all 800 bolts to find what I want. Please enable Inventory under the different categories to be placed into alphabetical order. I would also recommend the categories be alphabetized. At times my zebra won't pick up bar codes so then I need to go through everything to find something. Please, Please make my life easier!

  7. This set of screens is very inefficient. The old version was much better. It feels like a entry level programmer with no user experience code it.
    Issues:
    1) A recent bug - the right hand scroll bar has disappeared so there is no quick way to get to the bottom of the screen where Product Code (UPC) and Sku available. Must mouse scroll to get to any field.

    2) There is a lot of wasted space as features not used are defaulted to expanded versus be defaulted to collapsed. Either default each section (taxes and fee, Modifier groups, Categories, etc.…

  8. It would be helpful to see the image of an item on the POS when looking up an item in inventory to avoid confusion among similar described items. Or be able to differentiate between same item with different upcs due to being sold open stock, CDU or other format. Or as a learning tool for new employees to confirm the correct item when searching.

  9. 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…

  12. 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…

  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. 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.

  16. 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

  17. 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…

  18. 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…
