One row per job, based on how QuickSync connects to Shopify and Clover today. Where a side does not allow something, the cell says so.

Running the register and the other channel by hand
A Clover counter sale that never reaches Shopify is how you oversell online. Holding a buffer in both places so you cannot is how you sit on stock you could have sold.
| 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 Shopify 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 under a second |
One Clover order, start to finish
Real timings, second by second.
Clover · order #447114:02:11Clover41sourceShopify41+0.3sCorrecting Shopify takes under a second 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 Shopify reaches Clover just as quickly, because Shopify pushes it to us the moment it happens too.
Connecting Shopify and Clover takes about ten minutes
Most of that is us matching your catalogues. The two connections themselves are a login each.
Connect Shopify
You approve QuickSync from the Shopify app store. Shopify asks which permissions to grant and you can withdraw them from the Shopify side at any time.
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.
The limits: know them before you connect
Every Shopify Clover integration has constraints. These are the ones that apply here.
Quick between Shopify and Clover
Both Shopify and Clover tell us the moment something sells, so a sale in one is reflected in the other in under a second. There is no polling gap on this pair.
No tracking number back to Clover
Clover has no field for a tracking number, so we cannot write one back. If you also ship from the same stock, the tracking stays in QuickSync rather than on the Clover order.
Nothing publishes itself to Shopify or Clover
Copying a listing from Shopify 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.
Where you edit products
Both sides can create and update, so decide which one you type into.
Shopify and Clover can each carry the whole product record — name, price, photos, sizes and colours — and we can create and update on either. Most pairings don’t offer that choice, and having it means making one: pick the side you’ll type into and treat the other as the copy.
For most shops that’s Shopify, because a website needs the long description and the second photograph anyway and a register doesn’t. If your range starts life at the counter, though — you buy it, you price it, it’s on the shelf that afternoon — then Clover is the more natural home and the site can follow it.
Either way round works. What causes trouble is not deciding, then spending a fortnight where half the catalogue was last touched in one place and half in the other.
The Saturday problem
A register sells in bursts. A website sells all night.
Clover pushes to us as each sale completes and Shopify does the same, so either side corrects the other in under a second. That matters more here than on a pairing of two websites because of the shape of the trade: a counter can do a fortnight of one item in a single Saturday hour, and there’s no quiet stretch between those sales for a timer to fit into.
So the case that breaks other setups — the same SKU going twice inside a minute, once online and once at the counter — is the ordinary case on this pairing rather than the awkward one. The second sale isn’t waiting on a scheduled look, because there isn’t one.
What still needs a decision from you is what the website should do when the shelf empties at three in the afternoon. We’ll take Shopify to zero. Whether that reads as sold out or as a lost order is a question about your shop, not about the sync.
Items with no code
A register doesn’t ask for a SKU. We can’t pair two shops without one.
Most Clover catalogues were built at the counter, one item at a time, by somebody halfway through serving a customer. Clover doesn’t insist on a SKU when you work that way, so a 400-item till catalogue can arrive with 400 blanks in the single field we match products on. Nothing else about this connection matters until that’s dealt with.
What happens next is visible rather than quiet. A variant with no SKU is left out and shown to you as unmatched, so what you get is a list of exactly which items need one — not a shop that syncs 60% of itself and looks finished.
There are two ways through it. Switch on automatic SKU creation during setup and we’ll generate one per item; it’s off by default, because a code we invented is still a code somebody has to read off a picking list. Or choose the scheme yourself first — our free SKU generator builds one per variant and shows which channels would trim it.
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 Shopify 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 Shopify?
Under a second in normal conditions. Shopify 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.
Do I have to re-list my Shopify products on Clover?
No. We match your existing Shopify 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 Shopify and Clover to the same number.
Does the tracking number go back to both shops?
Not to Clover. 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.
What happens if a buyer cancels or I refund them on Shopify 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 Shopify and Clover.
Which plan do I need for Shopify and Clover?
Lite covers Shopify 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.
