Actions — Automation Rules for Clover POS: Items, Fees, Reminders
Actions is a Clover POS automation app by PayPlaxe. Build a rule once — add an item, apply a fee or service charge, trigger a discount, show a reminder to staff — and Actions runs it automatically on the right orders, or on demand with one tap. Settings sync between all your Clover devices. $1.99 per month, 30-day free trial.

What merchants automate with Actions
- Fees and service charges — bag fee, gift wrap, delivery, corkage, large-party service charge; applied to the order when your conditions are met.
- Items — add an item to orders automatically instead of ringing it in by hand every time.
- Discounts — fixed or percentage, triggered by the rules you define.
- Staff reminders and notes — surface the right instruction at the right step of the sale, on every device.
- Sync between devices — configure once, and every register in the store follows the same rules.
Fees and compliance
Fees in Actions live on the order itself — they're set before your customer ever picks how to pay. Surcharging on Clover happens at the platform level only, so if the goal is offsetting card processing costs, run a cash discount program: that's exactly what our Order Discounts (+ Cash Discount) app does. Keeping each fee compliant with your local laws and merchant agreement is up to you.

Frequently asked questions
Does Actions add credit card surcharges?
No. Fees apply to the order identically for every payment method. Surcharging on Clover is handled at the platform level only. To offset processing costs the compliant way, use a cash discount program — see Order Discounts (+ Cash Discount).
Can Actions run rules on all my devices?
Yes — settings sync between devices, so a rule created on one register applies across the store.
What is the difference between Actions and Auto Item?
Actions is the wider engine: more rule combinations, staff reminders, device sync. Auto Item is the quick, focused tool for adding fees and items at set moments. If you only need "add this fee automatically", start with Auto Item; if you want a rulebook for the whole register, Actions is the one.
Who makes Actions?
PayPlaxe, an independent software vendor building Clover apps since 2019. PayPlaxe is not an ISO, does not sell payment processing and never markets to your merchants — agents and Clover reps can install it knowing the merchant relationship stays theirs.
