Clover and Square reporting that shows what your shop is really doing.

Sidecar reads the sales from the Clover or Square you already use and turns them into the reports a small retailer actually needs.

What you'll see

Reports written for a shop, not a spreadsheet.

Built for small retail from the start — sizes and colors, cost and margin, more than one location. Not restaurant software with the tables taken out.

Margin, not just sales

What each product actually made after cost and discounts. The best-seller list and the best-earner list are rarely the same.

Sales by business day

A sale rung up at 12:40 am after a late event counts toward the day you worked, not the next morning.

Stock across every shop

On-hand by location, what's slow, and what to move before you reorder something you already have.

Discounts counted once

A 15% off spread across four items shows up as one discount you gave, not four. So you know what a promotion really cost.

Customers who come back

Repeat rate, time between visits, and who hasn't been in since spring. Customers carried over from your old till, not started from zero.

Staff and the drawer

Hours against takings, and whether the cash drawer counted out right — where your system records them.

Your history comes with you

Up to 3 years of sales, on day one.

Most reporting tools start counting the day you sign up, so you wait a year before "same month last year" means anything. Sidecar imports your history first.

  • Catalog, customers, staff and taxes read straight from your system
  • History imported in the background while you keep selling
  • Kept up to date every 5 minutes from then on
  • Every store on its own clock and its own business day

Review

Numbers you can trust

When something doesn't add up, we say so.

Every order is checked against its own line items when it comes in. If the totals don't reconcile, or your system didn't record something we'd need, Sidecar flags it — it doesn't quietly fill in a guess and hand you a tidy, wrong number.

It's why we'll tell you up front which reports your system can support. Clover, for instance, doesn't record counted cash, so we won't pretend to reconcile your drawer from it. See what comes across from Clover.

Read-only

Sidecar reads from Clover and Square. It never changes a price, a product or a payment there.

Your shop, walled off

Each business's data is separated by the database itself — not just by our code remembering to.

Leave any time

Disconnect from your Sidecar settings or from Clover or Square directly. Access stops at once.
