Clover POS

Accurate sales and labor data tracking is at your fingertips with the Clover POS integration! This connection provides the insights needed to build high-performing schedules while ensuring your team stays aligned with labor targets through real-time data sync.

Things to Know

Review these critical technical requirements before enabling the integration:

• Mapping is the foundation of your integration. It must be completed before enabling Employee Sync, Actual Labor, or Wage Sync to ensure your labor data and payroll exports are accurate.
• Clover POS and Clover Sport POS are separate systems with different setup steps and functionality. Verify your Clover version before proceeding.
  Punches and time-clocking for this integration are managed via 7punches.
• 7punches is now available in the Clover Marketplace to install on your Clover tablet (minimum Android version 4.4).
• Access to certain features may require a plan upgrade.

1. In the left navigation bar, head to Apps & Integrations > Available Integrations.
2. Search and select Clover.
3. Click Login to Clover and sign in with your Clover credentials.
4. In your Clover account, go to the More Tools menu, search for 7shifts, and select it:

6. You will be redirected back to 7shifts. Select your 7shifts Location and Clover account, then click Connect.
7. Success! Moving forward, you'll be able to view the integration within your 7shifts account by heading to Apps & Integrations > My Integrations > Clover POS > Settings.

After you've activated the integration, it may take several hours for the system to start bringing in your previous sales data.

Actual Sales and Forecasting

Real-time sales data integration is enabled by default upon activation. 7shifts pulls Net sales data from Clover to provide a real-time view of your labor costs and generate AI-powered forecasts.

• 7shifts automatically imports up to 90 days of historical sales data from Clover upon activation.
• It may take hours for the system to start bringing in your previous sales. If they do not appear initially, please check back in a few hours.
• Both 7shifts and TouchBistro POS must be configured with the same time zone and workday hours (5:00 AM to 5:00 AM).
• It takes approximately 1–2 weeks of data collection for initial sales projections to appear.

Actual Labor

To track time clocking records with the Clover integration, you must use the 7punches app. 7punches is available in the Clover Marketplace for installation directly on your Clover tablet (minimum Android version 4.4).

Once enabled, your actual labor costs will be displayed on the Dashboard, allowing you to compare Sales vs. Labor in real-time.

1. Install 7punches from the Clover Marketplace.
2. Ensure all Managers are assigned to their designated Locations within their 7shifts employee profiles to access the punch pad.

Next Steps

Review the Warnings tab 

The Warnings tab in Time Clocking is your final checkpoint for data accuracy. Before closing a pay period, use this tab to identify and resolve discrepancies between your time clocking source (such as 7punches or your POS) and your payroll exports.

Complete mappings is the foundation for reliable data and labor reporting. By reviewing this tab regularly, you can identify and resolve discrepancies (such as missing punches, unmapped employees, or role mismatches) before they reach payroll.
