Setup (3 Minutes)

Step 1: Authorize Clover Connection

1. Open Stokkfy → Settings → Integrations

2. Click "Connect Clover"

3. Log into your Clover account

4. Authorize Stokkfy access (one-click OAuth)

If you have multiple Clover devices/locations:

Step 3: Initial Sync

Sync time: 5-10 minutes

Step 4: Add Suppliers

Clover doesn't store supplier info, so you'll add that in Stokkfy:

How It Works

1. Sales Update Inventory

Every Clover sale decrements inventory:

2. AI Predicts Stockouts

Stokkfy analyzes:

Prediction:

"You'll run out of Item A in 5 days based on current sales."

3. Auto-Reorder Triggers

When AI predicts stockout within supplier lead time:

Example:

4. Order Confirmation

Supplier confirms via WhatsApp or email.

Stokkfy logs confirmation.

You get notification.

5. Delivery & Receipt

Delivery arrives.

You mark order as "received" in Stokkfy.

Inventory updates automatically.

Clover Inventory Tracking (Important)

Clover has two modes:

Mode 1: Inventory Tracking Enabled

Clover automatically tracks stock levels.

Stokkfy syncs these levels in real-time.

Recommended for accuracy.

Mode 2: Inventory Tracking Disabled

Clover doesn't track stock (just sales).

You'll need to manually update stock levels in Stokkfy.

Not recommended — defeats the purpose of automation.

How to enable Clover inventory tracking:

1. Open Clover Dashboard → Items

2. Click on an item → Edit

3. Toggle "Track Stock" ON

4. Set initial stock level

5. Save

Do this for all products you want Stokkfy to manage.

Multi-Location Support

If you have multiple Clover locations:

Modifiers & Variants

Clover modifiers (e.g., Small/Medium/Large) sync as separate SKUs in Stokkfy.

Example:

Each size has its own inventory tracking and reorder points.

Common Issues & Fixes

"Clover sales aren't syncing"

Cause: OAuth token expired or Clover account changed

Fix: Re-authorize Clover in Stokkfy settings

"Inventory levels are wrong"

Cause: Initial sync pulled stale data from Clover

Fix: Do a physical count, update Clover inventory, re-sync Stokkfy

"Some items didn't sync"

Cause: Items don't have SKUs in Clover

Fix: Add SKUs in Clover, then re-sync

"I have multiple Clover devices"

Cause: All devices at one location share the same inventory

Fix: Connect the location (not individual devices) to Stokkfy
