Amazon Clover integration that keeps the register and the marketplace in step
For shops that ring sales on a Clover register and also sell on Amazon. Amazon’s 20-character SKU is a fifth of what Clover allows, so the code has to be built for Amazon first and used everywhere else. Both sides tell us the moment something sells, so the other is corrected in a second or two.

CloverHow to connect Amazon and Clover
Four steps and about ten minutes. The two connections are a login each; most of the time is us matching your catalogues, and nothing changes until you switch it on.
Connect Amazon
You authorise QuickSync in Seller Central for the marketplaces you sell in.
Connect Clover
You install QuickSync from the Clover app market on the merchant account that owns the register.
Let it match your products
We line the two catalogues up by SKU, then by title, and hand you a short list of anything we could not match. You decide what happens to those.
Watch, then switch it on
Leave it watching for a few days and check the numbers agree. When you are happy, let it start making changes, one shop at a time.
What an Amazon Clover integration actually moves
One row per job, based on how QuickSync connects to Amazon and Clover today. Where a side does not allow something, the cell says so.
| What | Amazon | Clover |
|---|---|---|
| Stock count | We always send, and hear back for items you ship | Both ways |
| New listings | We can create and update | We can create and update |
| Prices | Sent, with your rule applied | Sent, with your rule applied |
| Orders in | Into QuickSync | Into QuickSync |
| Tracking back | Amazon does not accept one from us | Clover does not accept one |

Running the register and the other channel by hand
The register and the Amazon listing are the same unit of stock. When only one of them knows it sold, the other keeps offering it. That is how you oversell.
| Two shops, run by hand | Two shops, connected |
|---|---|
| The last one sells in both shops within the same hour | Whichever shop sells it, the other one drops to match |
| Typing the same stock numbers into Amazon and Clover each morning | One count, sent to both, without anyone opening a spreadsheet |
| Changing a price means editing the same product twice | Change it once and each shop gets the price you set for it |
| Orders in two dashboards, matched up by hand at the end of the week | Every order already matched to the right product |
| A refund leaves your numbers wrong until someone notices | A refund puts the stock back and tells both shops |
| Guessing how stale each shop’s number is | A sale on either shop reaches the other in a second or two |
One Clover order, start to finish
Real timings, second by second.
Clover · order #447114:02:11Clover41sourceAmazon41+1.4sCorrecting Amazon takes a second or two once we have the sale. The order is in your packing list with the Clover order number on it.
The other direction is the same: a sale on Amazon reaches Clover just as quickly, because Amazon pushes it to us the moment it happens too.
The limits: know them before you connect
Every Amazon Clover integration has constraints. These are the ones that apply here.
Quick between Amazon and Clover
Both Amazon and Clover tell us the moment something sells, so a sale in one is reflected in the other in a second or two. There is no polling gap on this pair.
Stock Amazon holds is left alone
We always send your count to Amazon, but we only take changes back for items you ship yourself. Anything Amazon stores and ships keeps its own count, which is Amazon’s to own.
Nothing publishes itself to Amazon or Clover
Copying a listing from Amazon to Clover (or the other way) always waits for you to look at it. Stock is the only thing that moves on its own, and only once you have turned it on.
Amazon is the tightest SKU limit you will meet
Clover takes 100. Amazon takes 20, and 20 is the number your catalogue has to fit.
Items pair up by SKU, so the shorter limit governs, and Amazon’s 20 characters is the tightest of any channel we support. Clover’s 100 is not what will catch you out. Twenty goes quickly if you build codes out of words: a product name, a colour and a size strung together is usually over the line before you have finished typing it, and it gets truncated on the way to Amazon.
The failure is quiet, which is what makes it worth an hour before you connect rather than a reconciliation afterwards. We truncate at the channel’s limit instead of refusing to send, so nothing errors and nothing turns red. The shortened code just stops matching the item it came from, the count stops moving on that line, and you find out when two numbers disagree. Shorten the pattern once and it never starts.
Timing is the easy part of this pair. Neither Amazon nor Clover has to be checked on a timer; each reports what has changed at the point it changes, so a sale at the register reaches the marketplace with no scheduled look in between. Several channels do have to be polled, and this pair avoiding that is why a till and a marketplace can share one shelf without much drama.
Tracking has nowhere to go, and FBA keeps its own count
Both belong to the platforms rather than to us, and both are better known up front.
Neither Amazon nor Clover has a field for a tracking number, so there is nothing for us to write one into on either side and the number stays in QuickSync. A customer who buys at the counter carries the goods home, so the Clover half of that rarely bites. The Amazon half is the one to plan for: your team will need to look in QuickSync rather than at either record.
The second gap is about who owns the figure. Your count always goes out to Amazon, but changes only come back for items you pick and post yourself. Anything sitting in an Amazon warehouse keeps a count of its own, deliberately, because Amazon can see those shelves and we cannot. Receipts, damages and returns handled there never reach your till, so our number would be a guess dressed up as a fact.
Two shops fits the smallest plan
Your catalogue size picks the plan, and your plan price covers two connected shops with every shop after that adding it again. Three shops on Lite is $38 a month.
Lite
$19/mo for two shops1,000 items and up to eight connected integrations, with stock matched on both sides automatically. Enough for Amazon and Clover on their own, at $19 a month for the two.
Pro
$29/mo for two shops2,500 items and up to eight connected integrations. Listings and orders sync here as well as stock. Most sellers running two shops properly end up here.
Ultra at $69 and Ultra+ at $99 add larger catalogues, price rules and setup help. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial and no card.
Questions people ask about this pair
How quickly does Clover update after something sells on Amazon?
A second or two in normal conditions. Amazon tells us the moment the sale happens and we write the new count to Clover straight away. The reverse is the same when Clover sells. If either side is briefly unreachable we hold the update and keep trying rather than dropping it.
Can I connect Amazon to my Clover POS?
Yes, though it needs something in the middle, because Clover and Amazon do not read each other’s catalogues. QuickSync pairs items on their SKU and holds a single figure, so a sale at the register lowers what Amazon has available. Work to 20 characters or fewer, which is Amazon’s limit and far tighter than Clover’s 100.
Why is my Amazon stock not matching my Clover till?
Two causes account for most of it. Start with SKU length, because Amazon cuts a code off at 20 characters and a shortened one no longer pairs with the item behind it. If the SKUs are fine, check who ships the item. Anything Amazon warehouses and posts keeps a count of its own by design, so it is not meant to track your till.
Do I have to re-list my Amazon products on Clover?
No. We match your existing Amazon and Clover listings by SKU first, then by title, and hand you a short list of whatever we could not match. You can also copy a listing from one side to the other if you want it in both places; that step always waits for you.
Can I charge a different price on Clover?
Yes. Set a rule once for Clover: a percentage, a fixed uplift, or a price you type yourself. We apply it whenever the price changes, and nothing forces Amazon and Clover to the same number.
Does the tracking number go back to both shops?
Not to Amazon and Clover. Amazon has no way for us to send a tracking number back. Clover has no way for us to send a tracking number back. Counter sales rarely need one, but it is worth knowing if you also ship from the same stock.
Does an Amazon order get recreated on Clover?
No. The order stays on Amazon. We pull it into your one QuickSync list next to your Clover orders so you pack from one place, without creating a duplicate Clover order for it.
What happens if a buyer cancels or I refund them on Amazon or Clover?
The stock goes back. A cancellation or a refund puts the item back into your count and we send the corrected number to both Amazon and Clover.
Which plan do I need for Amazon and Clover?
Lite covers Amazon and Clover. Lite is $19 a month for two shops and holds 1,000 items, with up to eight connected integrations. You would move up a plan for catalogue size, and your bill goes up by another $19 if you connect a third shop.
