Smart Online Order for Clover Plugin

NOTE: This plugin requires a Clover POS & our Clover marketplace application “Smart Online Order + WordPress” (subscription required). — Please contact us at [email protected] if you need help installing or setting up the plugin and application.

With Smart Online Order for Clover you can easily integrate and import your Clover inventory to show on your website in real-time. This will allow you to accept Online Orders from your website.

All you need is a Clover POS to easily display your menu on your website.

Allow customers to place orders from your website and then have the orders print to your Clover POS.

All orders can either automatically print or you can have the orders manually print. View all orders from your Clover POS. View daily/weekly/monthly reports from your Clover. This plugin is the ideal solution to get your business on-line in less than 10 minutes.

It’s also easy to do it yourself, if you get stuck, there are step by step instructions on You Tube – Search “Smart Online Order” on YouTube.

How it works

After installing the Smart Online Order for Clover plugin, add the pages “Order Online”, “Checkout” and “My Orders” by going to Appearance then Menu from the WordPress Dashboard. Then sync your website with your Clover POS using “Import inventory”.

There are also shortcodes that you can use. You would simply add the short-codes in a new post/page or an existing one.

If you already spent lots of time building out your Shop page using Woo-Commerce and would like to use your current Woo-Commerce inventory and then have those orders sent to the Clover – then, no worries we also have a solution for that. It is called Woo-Commerce Payment Gateway for Clover. You would still use the same app from the Clover App market “Smart Online Order” to receive your Woo-Commerce orders.

Below are additional shortcodes :

[moo_cart] 

Checkout page

[moo_checkout] 

My Orders page

[moo_my_account] 

You can also display only some categories by adding the attribute categories to the shortcode, so you can create different pages each page with specific categories (pickup and catering for example)

[moo_all_items categories="6QW02M6CY9MHJ,9KS5GJYMJBD3T"] 

To display a search bar use this shortcode

[moo_search]
