How to do ‘end-of-day reconciliation report’
Open your ‘reporting’ app on your Clover Flex, then click ‘payments’, which generates a report for the business day or whichever reporting dates you have chosen. The report collects information for payments made on the machine, and the ‘day’ can be set for whichever operating hours apply to your business. You can also reconcile your sales through your Tyl portal or the Clover web dashboard.

How to collect customer feedback via Clover Flex
Your Clover Flex receipts are more than just paper – you can customise your receipts to collect feedback and promote your business. Simply access your Clover web dashboard, then click ‘setup’ followed by ‘payment receipts’. You’ll then be able to customise your receipts in a number of ways, such as adding your website, which can help customers to give feedback. You can also enhance the customer experience with small little touches, like adding the WiFi password on the receipt, as well as order notes, unique transaction reference numbers and the cashier’s name.
