Clover for a retail store
What a retail store needs from its point of sale
A retail point of sale has two jobs: ring up a sale fast, and keep the count of what is on your shelves honest. Clover does both. Items carry variants such as size and color, a barcode scanner rings them up, and the dashboard shows what sold and what is running low.
Stratamize sets Clover up around your store: we load your catalog with its variants and barcodes, set up a label printer for items that arrive without one, set your return and exchange rules, and choose the devices that fit your counter and your floor. The merchant account behind it is part of the same setup, with one team to call.
This page covers general retail. Boutiques, convenience stores, liquor stores and smoke and vape shops have their own pages, linked below.
What retail store owners ask about Clover
Can Clover track inventory with sizes and colors?
Yes. Clover items can carry variants, so a shirt in four sizes and three colors is one item with its own count for each combination. We load your catalog with the variants you stock, and we show you how to receive new stock so the counts stay right.
Which Clover fits a retail counter?
Most stores start on a Clover Mini or a Station Solo, according to the toolkit fit chart we use. The Mini suits a smaller counter. The Station Solo gives a larger screen for a bigger catalog, and customers pay on a paired Mini or Flex.
A busy counter where customers watch each item scan often moves to a Station Duo. A Flex lets staff ring up a customer on the floor when a line builds.
Do we need a barcode scanner and a label printer?
If your products arrive with barcodes, a scanner makes checkout faster and keeps counts accurate. If they do not, a label printer lets you print your own barcode labels. Both are add-ons we quote with your order and set up during the install.
How are returns and exchanges handled?
Clover can refund a sale in full or in part, back to the card or as cash, and an exchange can be rung up as a return and a new sale. Tell us your return policy and we set the permissions so only the staff you choose can process refunds.
Can we keep customer profiles and run a loyalty program?
Clover keeps customer information and purchase history, and Clover's own sales sheet for the Mini lists a built-in rewards feature for loyalty. We set up the customer and rewards options you want to use, and leave off the ones you do not.
Can a retail store offer the cash discount?
Yes, for in-person sales. Your shelf prices are the card prices, and customers who pay cash get 3.5% off for cash. Credit and debit customers pay the posted price, and nothing is added at the register. We set up the program and give you the signs for your entrance and registers.
How long does setup take for a retail store?
After approval the biggest job is the catalog. A store with a few hundred items is quick; a store with thousands of variants takes longer, and we plan the import with you so your counts are right on opening day.
