DAVO Sales Tax for Clover

Sales tax isn’t your money — but it sits in your account until filing day, which is exactly why so many businesses come up short. DAVO fixes that by setting it aside automatically.

By Craig "Rich" Riley · Updated

What DAVO does

DAVO connects to Clover and automatically sets aside the sales tax from each day’s sales, holds it in a secure account, and then files and pays it to your state — monthly, quarterly, or annually — when it’s due. You keep selling on Clover exactly as you do now; DAVO handles the rest in the background.

How it works, step by step

  • Nightly set-asideDAVO reads your Clover sales report each night and moves that day’s tax to a holding account.
  • Nothing changes for staffOnce it’s connected, your team rings sales the same way — no new steps.
  • Automatic filingAt filing time DAVO calculates, files, and pays your return to the tax authority.
  • Filing guaranteeBecause the money is already set aside, you’re not scrambling to fund the payment.

Who it’s for

Any business that collects sales tax on Clover and wants filing season to stop being stressful — retail, restaurants, salons, convenience stores. It’s especially valuable if cash flow is tight and it’s tempting to “borrow” from collected tax, or if you’ve ever paid a late-filing penalty.

Getting started

You install DAVO from the Clover App Market, complete a short onboarding (your tax details and filing frequency), and it begins on the first of the next month. It’s a low monthly subscription per location.
