  1. 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…

  2. 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.

  3. 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!

  4. please reinstate the ability to edit an item or group of similar items with out requiring to re-search each time you save. new update changed this, before item would stay available to updates on similar items. new update resets the inventory field when saved and requires you to search for similar items again

  6. 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.

  7. 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…

  8. 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…

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  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. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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…

  15. Clover, please listen to us and not just mark not at this time. The retail inventory management view and reporting is horrible. Retail businesses run themselves on what is in the store and remaining not just what has been sold. The fact that you have that information for item sales so easy to view and export it should be the same for the in stock inventory. Having to print the item view that is so completely insane to view on a PDF is not right. Please don't just say not at this time, listen to us and consider that in…

  16. 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!

  17. 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.…

  18. 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.
