- Short answer
- Not natively. SKU IQ can sync orders one way per account, enabled by Support; its own pages disagree on which direction.
- Direction
- SKU IQ syncs orders one way only: from Shopify or from your Clover register, not both.
- Clover plans
- SKU IQ supports only Clover Retail, on the Standard and Advanced plans.
- Turning it on
- Not on by default; SKU IQ Support enables it for your account.
- Delay into Shopify
- If Support enables Clover-to-Shopify sync, orders can take 1 minute to 12 hours to appear, per SKU IQ.
- Returns
- With SKU IQ, returns and exchanges don't sync; fix both platforms and stock by hand.
Does Shopify sync Clover orders on its own?
No Shopify page we read on October 3, 2026 — the Clover migration guide, the Help Center's POS, order and app pages, the Store Migration listing and the Shopify POS site — describes a built-in way to sync Clover orders into Shopify. SKU IQ, which connects the two, puts it plainly: "Not natively."
The Clover Payments plugin lets US and Canadian Shopify Online Shops accept Clover payments; Clover says to always void an order in Shopify, because the plugin is "not two-way compatible."
Past orders move once, not by sync: Shopify says to export Clover orders to CSV and import order history with third-party apps.
Which way can SKU IQ sync Clover orders?
SKU IQ offers order syncing as an optional feature that sends completed invoices from eCommerce to POS or from POS to eCommerce. Its help center lists Clover among supported POS connections; the feature is off by default, and Support enables it.
Currently, you'll need to choose if you prefer your orders synced from your Shopify OR your Point of Sale - not both.
SKU IQ's Clover–Shopify page disagrees: as of October 3, 2026, its sync table lists orders only from Shopify eCommerce to Clover POS.
SKU IQ works only with Clover Retail, on the Standard and Advanced plans. If you're on one, ask Support which direction it will enable for your account. For its plans and other apps, see which apps sync Clover with Shopify.
What a synced Clover sale looks like in Shopify
If Support enables Clover-to-Shopify, SKU IQ's help center says:
- Register orders take 1 minute to 12 hours to appear in Shopify.
- The payment method doesn't sync; orders show as paid in full and fulfilled.
- Customer name and email arrive only if captured at the register.
- Returns and exchanges don't sync: refund on both platforms and adjust stock by hand.
