Clover Sport POS
Clover Sport POS (formerly Bypass POS) integrates with 7shifts to sync actual sales data. Connecting Clover Sport POS to 7shifts gives managers real-time sales visibility for more accurate scheduling and labor forecasting.
Things to Know
This is a partner-led integration. Clover Sport POS manages the setup and configuration process. For help with setup, connection settings, or troubleshooting, contact Clover Sport Support directly.
⚠️ Important: Clover POS and Clover Sport POS are separate systems with separate setup steps and functionality. Verify which version of Clover you are integrating with before proceeding.
- Access to this feature may require an upgrade from your existing plan.
- 7shifts recommends using 7punches for time clocking with Clover Sport POS. The companion app (included on all paid plans) used by employees to record their starts and ends.
- If you notice differences in your sales data after setup, contact Clover Sport Support. For API-related issues, Clover Sport Support can contact the 7shifts API team directly.
Add the Integration
You can get your access token and information from 7shifts by heading to Settings > Developer Tools. For setup assistance, contact Clover Sport Support.
- Log in to 7shifts as an Admin.
- Navigate to Settings > Developer Tools and copy your Access Token and location information.
- Contact Clover Sport Support and provide your Access Token to initiate the integration setup.
- Clover Sport Support will complete the configuration on their end and confirm when the integration is active.
- Once the integration is active, set up 7punches for time clocking. Clover Sport POS does not sync time punches, so 7punches is the recommended solution for tracking employee clock-ins and clock-outs.
Actual Sales and Forecasting
Once your integration has been activated, your real-time sales data will be enabled by default. 7shifts will also use those Actual Sales values to populate Projected Sales, allowing you to create schedules based on those projections. These will become more accurate over time as more data is available.
After activating your integration, please note that sales projections may not appear immediately. It can take approximately 1–2 weeks from the activation date for sales projections to become visible, covering up to four weeks into the future. These will become more accurate over time as more data is available.
You can manually import sales data for more immediate projections. To do this, import hourly sales each day or individual receipts consistently. You can learn more about sales projections here.
- Both 7shifts and Clover Sport POS must be configured with the same time zone and workday hours (5:00 AM to 5:00 AM).
- It may take a few hours for the system to bring in previous sales. If sales data does not appear initially, check back in a few hours.
- It takes approximately 1 to 2 weeks of data collection for initial sales projections to appear.
- 7shifts will sync sales data into the Dashboard, Manager Log Book, Actuals Report, and the Labor Budget Tool.

When building schedules for future weeks, 7shifts will automatically use past historical sales data to generate and insert sales projections. This feature enables more accurate scheduling to help you stay on budget and within your labor targets.
Actual Sales data will initially be empty for current or future days until sales data starts rolling in. Once sales numbers are pulled into 7shifts, they will be displayed under the respective days.
Actual Sales and Forecasting in 7shifts defines universal rules and how projection logic applies across all supported integrations.
