Customer Assigner

Customer Assigner opens the customer selection dialog on the order screen so no sale is left anonymous, and it keeps a list of tax-exempt customers whose orders should not carry tax. Everything the app touches lands in a report you can share.

Overview

How it works

1

It asks for the customer at the right moment

With the switch on, the customer selection dialog opens on the order screen in the Register.

2

Tax exemption comes from a list

You mark which customers are exempt; their orders are handled accordingly.

3

Everything it touches is reported

Date, amount and customer for each order, with a period total and a share action.

The app never replaces the Clover Register — it adds to it. Payments, taxes and reporting stay in Clover.

  3. Start an order in the Register — the customer selection dialog appears on the order screen.
  4. Pick the customer, or skip if it is a walk-in.
  5. Pair it with Customer Discounts so the right discount follows the person automatically.

The app's dialog never appears on the payment screen; Clover shows "Customer is choosing payment method".Open the Clover Setup app → Payments and uncheck Automatically take payment on Connected Device, so payment is taken on the primary device.
