Clover Essentials Plan
Upgrade from a cash register to full point-of-sale functionality—inventory tracking, item modifiers, and daily sales insights for one low monthly fee.
TL;DR
The Essentials Plan gives Colorado and North Carolina small businesses a modern POS for $29.95 per month on the first device and $11.95 for each additional device. You keep the simple payments tools of the Payments Plan, but add item-level inventory, order tracking, customer profiles, and richer reports—perfect for boutiques, food trucks, auto shops, and cafés that need more than just basic card acceptance.
Why Choose Essentials?
Inventory & item library – create products, categories, and simple modifiers (sizes, add-ons).
Real-time order tracking – ring up items, open/close orders, and print or text receipts.
Sales analytics – view top-selling items, hourly sales trends, and export data for QuickBooks.
Customer & employee management – track purchase history, collect emails, control staff permissions, and clock-in/out.
Clover App Market access – install loyalty, accounting, and marketing apps (60+ compatible with Essentials).
Flexible hardware – runs on Clover Mini, Flex, Go, and larger Station Solo or Duo setups.
Easy upgrade path – one click moves you to a Growth plan when you need advanced features.
Is Essentials the Right Fit? — FAQ
Q: Does Essentials track stock counts and low-inventory alerts?
A: It tracks item sales but not live stock counts or automatic alerts; choose Retail Growth for full inventory control.
Q: Can I print kitchen tickets at my restaurant?
A: Essentials prints basic receipts. For kitchen printers and advanced modifiers optimized for cooking workflows, the Restaurant Growth plan is highly recommended.
Q: Will it handle service estimates for my Denver tire shop?
A: Yes—build an itemized order, apply parts/labor modifiers, and convert it to a sale when approved.
Q: Are loyalty programs included?
A: Loyalty requires a free or low-cost app from the Clover App Market (Essentials supports them).
