  1. we are a retail store with 2 locations that sell the same items, and we used to be able to easily update our inventory information for both locations at the same time from one screen, but that option seems to have gone away, and now it takes way too long and is a royal pain in the butt to make changes. And uploading the changes on a spreadsheet just doubles the items instead of overwriting the existing information, so we have to go in and delete the old items. It used to be such an easy smooth process. Now it's…

  2. How about adding a negative variable for certain items. Such as Lotto Winners and Scratcher Winners. We don't want to have to use a Pay Out app when someone brings in a winner. It would need to be a non-revenue item. Most people play again, so why so many steps? I want to be able to hit Lotto Winner as a negative, then a Lotto (same with scratchers) and be done with it. Some have change coming back or some pay more.

  4. I give in store credit to certain customers, many of the orders are paid weeks after the original order was placed. Unfortunately, the payment is applied on the date it was originally taken and even if it was paid a month later. Affecting our Sales tax Reports creating inconsistencies. Please help us with this issue.

  5. The previous versions of viewing items on a mobile device made it easy to see stock quantities. You could also choose how many items per page 25-900. Now when viewing items on a mobile device you can only see 25 items per page and only a portion of the name of each item.
    Please change the view back so it is possible to see inventory quantities while scrolling through item names. The only way to see quantities is to select each item and scroll to the bottom. Its very difficult and time consuming to do an order. With over 1000…

  6. When adding product codes to individual items: the current programming has very broad matching criteria. If just 2 or 3 sequential numbers within a product code match, then when either item is scanned, you get a list of items at the POS to choose from. This leaves far too much room for error in ringing up the correct items. It defeats the whole point of having unique individual product codes.

    Here is an example. I have 1 item thats product code is 4325, I have another completely different item that has a product code 665570982325, 2 VERY different product codes.…

  7. On retail mostly, after items are selected from the cash register screen and pay is selected, an additional tender option should appear that reads "INVOICE". This will take you to the Virtual Terminal Invoice screen (transferring the payment amount) and allow the cashier to send a payment link (invoice) to the customer for the payment to be completed.

    Thanks

  8. When scanning items for an order, if an item is not found in inventory, I would like a different action rather than a small banner at the bottom of the screen. An acknowledgement by the employee is desired. The employees must be looking at the screen for every item to be sure it is found in inventory or we can miss charging for the item that was not found.

  9. When creating a report, it currently can only be compared to the same day last year or last week. It would be great to be able to compare to the same weekday or to a specific date and generate in one report. Currently, we have to pull two different reports and compare from there. In the tourism industry, sales on Jan 10 on a Tuesday vs Jan 10 on a Saturday are very different so it would help with report reading.

  10. Multiple item pictures. Clover Retail Growth Plan online shopping needs to have the ability to add multiple pictures to each item. Customers purchasing online need to be able to see all sides of the product as well as close-up pictures of product labels. Having the ability to only add one picture per item will hurt online sales.

  11. The new Retail Growth Plan has "Printer Labels" within the Inventory, and it is confusing for retailers that want to print barcode labels. Please update the plan to change the verbiage and/or to enable merchants to print barcodes/labels for retail.

  13. We have been using the Clover rewards program for almost a year now. If a customer has a certain amount of points, say 1000 or more, and they decide to redeem a part or all, there is no option to do that. The option that is presently available is that they can only redeem 50 points out of the total. Eventually, with this method, they will keep accumulating more points without being able to benefit from it. Hence, implementing a feature that allows the customer to redeem part or all of their points at their discretion would be practical and…

  15. Have an option in the inventory screen, when adding new items, to be able to print a barcode label from Easy Labels. This is essential when new items come in that don’t have barcodes on them. Also, be able to assign a barcode to an item that has no barcodes in the inventory screen.

  16. We would like to access the Easy Label app through the Clover desktop, rather than being limited to the pocket readers or the main POS systems. It is extremely limited in our small store with such a large inventory to be limited to these four devices.

  17. Please make an option to Bulk Edit > Delete from within a category and subcategories. Currently we have to delete each individual item from within the item profile. Extremely time consuming. Bulk deleting items from within a category only deletes them from the category, leaving them uncategorized and lost in the abyss of a large inventory. We need to be able to delete items within a category from the entire inventory, not just from a category/subcategory.

  18. 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.

  19. Inventory "Manual" reduction vs. "Automatic" reduction.

    When setting Inventory to automatically track reduction when items are sold, the "Manage Availability" option is defaulted to "Manual" instead of "Automatic."
    Which means that each time a new item is added, the merchant must remember to edit and change to "Automatic." It makes no sense. It should be defaulted to "Automatic" since the Inventory setting on top left show that stock levels will reduce automatically. Can this be corrected. I have a very upset Merchant who now has to go back and edit each inventory item. He has thousands of items and is…

  20. Hello Clover Product & Development Team,

    I am writing to formally revisit a feature request I submitted earlier this year regarding inventory reporting. At the time, I was advised that this functionality was “not available,” but I want to clearly express how critical this gap is for retail businesses and why it deserves serious reconsideration moving into 2026.

    As a brick-and-mortar retail store owner, I rely on my POS system not just to process sales, but to make informed business decisions. Currently, Clover does not provide a clear way to view:

    The date an item was entered into inventory

    The…
