March 2026 Clover Monthly Updates

Description

Clover’s monthly DSR (Distribution Strategic Readiness) highlights recent Clover enhancements and rollouts across Restaurant, Services, Payments, Reporting, and Partner Tools. Availability can vary by plan, merchant type, and rollout waves.


What’s New (March 2026)

Restaurant Vertical

  • Hide Guest View (Dining App)
    New chevron toggle lets merchants quickly expand/collapse guest details on the order screen for a cleaner view when guest-level detail isn’t needed. (Restaurant Growth)

  • Long Press Modal – Modifier Updates
    Modifier long-press now supports quantity adjustments in the same modal used for 86/out-of-stock—fewer clicks and faster changes. (Essentials and above)

  • Multiple Dockets – Kitchen Printer
    Merchants can split tickets by station labels (Grill/Fryer/Salad, etc.) and print sequentially on one printer with clear station headers—improves clarity and can reduce hardware needs. (Essentials and above)

  • Multi-location Default POS Menus (Summary)
    Helps multi-location merchants maintain brand-wide consistency while preserving location flexibility by centralizing default menu governance. (Restaurant Growth)


Services Vertical (Estimates + Booking)

  • Estimate Templates
    Save and reuse templates to generate new estimates faster and reduce repetitive work. (Essentials, Services Growth, Retail Growth, Restaurant Growth)

  • Estimate to Invoice (Conversion)
    Convert accepted estimates into invoices to accelerate cash flow and reduce manual work. (Essentials, Services Growth, Retail Growth, Restaurant Growth)

  • Customer Authentication for Estimates (OTP)
    Adds one-time password verification to secure customer access to estimate links (email by default; SMS when a phone number exists). (Essentials, Services Growth, Retail Growth, Restaurant Growth)

  • Estimate Details Improvements
    More transparent display of item/order-level discounts and service charges, with improved tax display logic. (Services Growth)

  • Estimate Customer Communications & Actions
    Updated customer estimate emails and estimate-view experience to make review/approval easier and clearer. (Essentials + Services/Retail/Restaurant plans)

  • Merchant Booking – Customer Consent for SMS (TCPA)
    Adds a consent capture + enforcement workflow to ensure compliant transactional SMS for appointment notifications. (Services Growth)


Horizontal Value-Added Services (VAS)
