What you'll do from the dashboard

Live sales and reporting

Watch net revenue, transaction counts, average ticket, and hourly trends in real time. Filter reports by date, employee, or payment type and export for accounting.

Employees and permissions

Add staff, assign roles, and lock down what each user can do. Hygienists, front desk, and dentists each get the access they need — and nothing more.

Account and setup in one place

View statements, manage taxes and fees, set up your business profile, change software plans, and update payment settings — all without a phone call.

Transactions, orders, and invoices

See every order recorded on your devices, filter by date or employee, issue refunds, and track open invoices. One source of truth for the whole practice.

Add what your practice needs

The Clover App Market lets you bolt on payroll, scheduling, accounting, gift cards, and more. Full app market access comes with Retail Growth; Essentials and Starter include a curated set of apps that work alongside your existing PMS.

Appointment Scheduling

Apps like Booker, BookedIN, and Schedulista plug into Clover so patients can book online and balances flow to your dashboard.

Scheduling

Accounting Sync

Commerce Sync pushes daily sales into QuickBooks or Xero automatically. No more end-of-month reconciliation marathons.

Accounting

Payroll & Time Tracking

Homebase turns your Clover device into a time clock. Track hours, build schedules, run payroll, and file payroll taxes from one place.

HR

Gift Cards

Sell physical and digital gift cards from any Clover device. Useful for whitening packages, retail products, or new-patient referral gifts.

Loyalty

Customer Loyalty & Promotions

Run points programs and promotions for the retail side of your practice — whitening kits, sonic toothbrushes, branded gear.

Retail Growth

Advanced Reporting

Apps like BusinessQ surface deeper insights on sales patterns and product mix — useful when your practice sells retail alongside services.

How dental teams use Clover

Same platform, three different workflows — each matched to the plan that makes sense for the practice.

1

Solo practitioner · Starter

A dentist running lean. Mini at the front desk for in-person cards, basic invoicing for end-of-visit balances, and a daily report from the dashboard before closing up.

Mini Tap or Dip Daily Report
2

Established practice · Essentials

Two to four operatories. Front desk runs cards on Mini or Flex, sends invoices for outstanding balances, saves cards on file, manages staff permissions, and pulls tax reports monthly.

Invoice Patient Pays Online Balance Closes
3

Practice with retail · Retail Growth

Selling whitening kits, sonic toothbrushes, or aligner accessories alongside services. Full inventory tracking, an online store, loyalty rewards, and complete app market access.

FAQs

Plan and software questions

Which plan is right for a dental practice?

Most dental practices land on Essentials. It includes the virtual terminal, invoicing, customer management, and tax reports — the things a front desk actually uses every day. Starter works for solo practitioners who only need to accept payments and send simple invoices. Retail Growth is the right pick if you're selling whitening kits, electric toothbrushes, or other retail products and want full inventory and an online store.

Can I change plans later?

Yes. You can move between Starter, Essentials, and Retail Growth right from the Clover Dashboard. Your hardware stays the same — only the software plan changes. Practices often start on Essentials and move up to Retail Growth when they begin selling products alongside services.

What's included in the virtual terminal?

The virtual terminal lives inside your Clover Dashboard. You can key in a card, run a refund, save a card on file for future use, and send invoices — all from a web browser, no Clover device required. It's included with Essentials and Retail Growth, which is one of the main reasons most practices skip Starter.

How does the Clover Dashboard work?

You log in at dashboard.clover.com from any browser, or use the Clover mobile app. The dashboard is where you see live sales, manage employees and permissions, configure taxes and account settings, view statements, install apps from the App Market, and pull every report Clover offers. All three plans give you dashboard access — what changes between plans is which reports and apps you can use.

Which App Market apps are useful for a dental practice?

The most-installed apps for practices are Homebase (time tracking, scheduling, payroll), Commerce Sync (pushes sales into QuickBooks or Xero automatically), and appointment-booking apps like Booker, BookedIN, or Schedulista. Gift card programs and loyalty apps are also common if you sell retail products. Full app market access comes with Retail Growth; Essentials and Starter include a more limited set.

Will Clover replace my dental practice management software?

No. Clover handles payments, invoicing, reporting, gift cards, and employee management — it's not a PMS. Your existing practice management software (Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental, Curve, and so on) keeps handling clinical records, scheduling, and insurance. Clover works alongside it on the payment side of the practice.

What hardware works with each plan?

Starter runs on Clover Go, Mini, or Flex. Essentials adds Station Solo and Station Duo to that list. Retail Growth works best on Station Solo or Duo but runs on Mini or Flex too. Every plan gives you dashboard access from web and mobile, so you can manage the practice even when you're not at the device.
