The best Clover apps for salons and spas
Clover runs your payments. These are the kinds of apps that run the rest of your salon — and what to look for before you pick one.
Clover's App Market has hundreds of apps, most of them built for restaurants and retail. Salons need a short, specific stack. Here are the five categories that matter and how to choose.
1. Booking and calendar
Online booking, reminders and staff calendars. Look for: two-way sync with Clover so services and payments match, text reminders, and deposits for no-show protection.
2. Marketing and texting
Email and SMS campaigns to your client list. Look for: easy segments (new, regular, lapsed), opt-out handling and simple templates.
3. Loyalty and gift cards
Points, memberships and gift cards. Note that Clover gift cards are often location-specific — check how a loyalty app handles multiple locations.
4. Payroll and tips
Commission and tip payouts. Look for: per-employee tip totals by pay period and export to your payroll provider.
5. Reporting and AI
Clover's built-in reports are general-purpose. A salon reporting app should show sales by location and stylist, new vs returning clients, win-back lists and daily alerts. That's what Salon AI Manager does — see salon reports for Clover.
How to choose
- Start with the job you do by hand every week
- Prefer read-only access unless the app must write data
- Check multi-location support before you buy
- Use free trials with your real data, not a demo
