Running out of items during service disrupts operations and loses revenue. Clover's inventory tracking lets you set stock quantities and receive low stock alerts before items run out.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Open the Inventory app and select the item you want to track. Tap 'Edit.'
- Enable 'Track Stock' for the item. Enter the current stock quantity in the 'Stock' field.
- Set the 'Low Stock Alert' threshold: the quantity at which you want to be notified (e.g., alert at 5 remaining).
- Clover will display a low stock indicator in the Inventory app when the threshold is reached.
- Configure items to automatically show as 'Out of Stock' on the menu when quantity reaches zero — preventing staff from selling unavailable items.
- To receive email alerts for low stock: configure notifications in dashboard.clover.com > Notifications with the recipient email address.
- After restocking, update the quantity in the Inventory app manually. Clover does not integrate with supplier systems — stock levels must be updated after each delivery.
📌 Important Note: Stock tracking works best for countable items (bottles, packages, individual units). It is less effective for weight-based or continuous-use items that cannot be tracked by discrete unit.
Frequently Asked Questions
