Clover is a Fiserv-backed POS platform with dedicated hardware and software for restaurants, retail, and services. One of the largest POS ecosystems globally.

Does the AI see my real-time inventory count?

Yes. Upon checking the API inventory endpoints, your agent has exact visibility over product quantities on the floor. It can warn you about low-stock situations instantly.

Can it issue a customer refund?

If specifically permitted within your dashboard tokens, yes. The agent can query an order ID and submit a refund command matching the original payment method.
