DineSync for Clover connects your WooCommerce store to your Clover POS. Orders arrive on your Clover device once they are paid or accepted. Product and price changes you make in WooCommerce are pushed to Clover. Your Clover menu — items, categories, prices and modifier groups — can be imported into WooCommerce whenever you need it.

Clover’s North American platform only. DineSync connects to api.clover.com, which serves Clover accounts in the United States and Canada. Merchants on Clover’s European platform cannot connect.

DineSync works with WooCommerce rather than replacing it. Your products, orders, customers, payment gateways and shipping methods stay where they are.

Built for restaurants, cafes, bakeries, and food businesses that take orders online through WooCommerce and run Clover POS in-store.

What DineSync does

Being precise about this matters more than sounding impressive, so here is the actual scope:

Paid orders go to Clover. A card order reaches your Clover POS the moment the payment completes — not when the checkout form is submitted, so a declined card never reaches your kitchen. Cash on delivery, direct bank transfer and check orders reach Clover as soon as WooCommerce accepts the order at checkout – there is no separate step for you to approve – with no payment recorded on Clover, because none has been taken. An order DineSync will not send – canceled, refunded or failed, or with sync switched off – says why in the sync log. Orders carry line items, modifier selections, customer details, fees, shipping and discounts.
A broken item link never costs you the food. If a product’s link to Clover is no longer valid — most often because the links were made against a different Clover account — DineSync sends that line by name instead, so the item still appears on the ticket, and removes the dead link.
Product and price changes push to Clover when you save. Edit a product in WooCommerce and the changed fields are sent to Clover. Only what actually changed is sent.
Your Clover menu imports into WooCommerce on demand. Click Import from Clover to pull items, categories, prices, stock levels and modifier groups across.
Clover’s In stock switch reaches your website. Switch an item off on your Clover device and, at your next import, it shows Out of stock on your website; switch it back on and it is In stock again. Stock counts are never touched. With DineSync Pro this happens on its own every 5 minutes.
Orders that need you come to you. An order that could not reach Clover, or whose Clover total differs from the website’s, is listed at the top of the Dashboard with numbered steps, and a red count shows in the menu.
Modifiers come across and display on your storefront. Clover modifier groups become selectable options on the product page.
How modifiers appear on the Clover ticket depends on where they came from. Modifiers imported from Clover are attached to the item they belong to, exactly as they would be if the order had been rung up in store. Modifiers managed by a third-party add-on plugin have no matching record in Clover, so their cost stays in the item’s price and their names are printed in the item’s note. Either way the ticket totals are correct.
Orders can print to your Clover kitchen printer automatically when they arrive.

What DineSync does not do

In the free plugin, changes made on your Clover POS do not flow back to WooCommerce on their own. There is no live Clover-to-WooCommerce feed. If you change a price, the In stock switch or a stock level on the Clover device, run Import from Clover to bring it across. DineSync Pro can check Clover every 5 minutes instead, for the In stock switch only or for every change.
A void or refund made on your Clover device does not reach WooCommerce, and Clover does not put that stock back by itself. Correct both counts by hand.
It is not a replacement checkout, cart or ordering system.

Why DineSync?

Keep WooCommerce — Your products, orders and customers stay in WooCommerce. Use any of the WooCommerce payment gateways, shipping plugins and marketing tools you already rely on.
Push to Clover, not just pull from it — Update a price in WooCommerce and it reaches your Clover POS on save.
No vendor lock-in — Sync data is stored as ordinary WooCommerce product metadata. Deactivate DineSync and your products, orders and customer history are untouched.
Per-field control — Under Product changes to Clover, choose exactly what a product save sends to Clover: name, price, category, description, options and SKU. Modifier groups are read from Clover, never written to it.
Smart updates — Only changed fields are sent to Clover, minimizing API calls and avoiding unnecessary overwrites.

Key Features

Order Sync (WooCommerce to Clover)

WooCommerce orders appear on your Clover POS with full details
Line items, modifier selections, customer info (name, email, phone), fees, shipping and discounts included
Payment recorded on Clover for orders that have actually been paid, with the correct amount
Auto-print to a Clover printer you select
Each order is claimed in the database before it is sent, so a refreshed checkout page cannot produce a second Clover order. A send that succeeds keeps the claim for good; one that fails releases it, so the order can be retried
If some line items reach Clover and others do not, the order is marked Partly synced rather than synced, the order screen lists what is missing and why, and Send missing items adds only those lines to the Clover order that already exists — never a second order
Works with both the classic WooCommerce checkout and block-based checkout

Order Status (WooCommerce to Clover)

WooCommerce “Completed” marks the Clover order fulfilled
WooCommerce “Cancelled” and “Refunded” cancel the Clover order
An order canceled on Clover is not reopened there if you move it back to Processing in WooCommerce; the order’s DineSync panel tells you to reopen or re-enter it on Clover by hand
Editing an order’s lines after it reached Clover does not change the Clover ticket; the order’s panel tells you to update it there

Product Push (WooCommerce to Clover)

Push products to Clover with diff-based updates — only changed fields are sent
Saving a product sends its changes to Clover if that product is already linked. New Clover items are only ever created by an explicit Push to Clover
Push also runs in bulk with Send all products to Clover on the DineSync > Tools page
Bulk pushes are batched (30 items at a time) to avoid timeouts
A product that is out of stock and does not track stock quantity is marked unavailable on Clover. For a product that tracks stock, a sale sends nothing – Clover counts it at payment – and a stock change you make is sent to Clover: as your quantity, once DineSync has confirmed the two counts agree; after linking an existing Clover item, the change you made is applied to the count your till already holds instead. Sending your quantity writes over any in-store sales since your last import, so run Import from Clover first if the till has been busy. Both require the matching field to be ticked under Product changes to Clover
If a product tracks stock and its Clover item does not yet, the first save starts a stock record on Clover at the product’s quantity and names it in the sync log
WooCommerce short descriptions map to Clover’s alternateName field, stripped of HTML and trimmed to Clover’s 127-character limit
WooCommerce categories are created on Clover if they do not already exist

Menu Import (Clover to WooCommerce, on demand)

Import items, categories, prices, stock levels and modifier groups from Clover
Existing products are matched by Clover ID, then SKU, then exact name. Items sharing a name are left alone rather than guessed at, so an import will not silently duplicate or relink your products — the sync log names the clash so you can give them distinct names or SKUs
A product with no Clover link still sells and still reaches the kitchen — its line is sent by name at the price paid. It just does not receive price or stock updates until it is linked
A Clover link column on the Products list shows which Clover item each product is linked to. Choose offers the matching items when a link is missing; Unlink removes one without touching Clover
Link Clover items to products (on DineSync > Tools) links products to Clover items without adding anything to either side
An import follows the In stock switch for products that do not track stock. Stock counts and options are the only other settings an import obeys; the fields under Product changes to Clover apply to the push from WooCommerce to Clover, not to imports
Start over (on DineSync > Tools) clears every Clover link and imports your menu again, so you can start from a clean slate. It reads Clover first, and changes nothing if Clover cannot be read

Modifier Groups

Clover modifier groups (toppings, sizes, extras) import with your menu
Built-in storefront renderer with radio buttons, checkboxes and live price adjustment
Adapter support for WooFood / Flavor and WC Product Add-Ons — the plugin detects which is active and writes modifiers in that format
Works with no configuration

Built for WooCommerce

Uses native WooCommerce products, cart, checkout and orders
Compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS / Custom Order Tables)
Works with any WooCommerce-compatible theme
A Dashboard with connection status, orders needing attention and recent orders; an Activity log grouped by order; one Settings page with one Save; and a Tools page for one-off jobs

How It Works

Install the plugin and go to DineSync > Settings
Enter your Clover Merchant ID and API token, choose Live or Sandbox, and click Connect to Clover

If you have been testing in Sandbox, clear your product links before switching to Live. Links made against a sandbox account do not exist on a live account, and orders will reach Clover with no items on them. DineSync detects this and offers to clear them, but clearing them first avoids the problem entirely.
Click Import from Clover to pull your menu into WooCommerce
Make sure Send website orders to Clover is on — paid orders now flow to your Clover POS
Re-run Import from Clover whenever you change your menu on the Clover device (DineSync Pro can do this for you every 5 minutes)

Already use WooCommerce (or want to) for online ordering
