New integration brings seamless access to daily tax set-aside, real-time tracking, and guaranteed filing and remittance
Powered by DAVO by Avalara, the solution will embed sales tax automation natively into Clover's POS system. Merchants can automatically set aside sales tax daily, track their obligations in real time, and have returns filed, and taxes remitted on their behalf, all within the system they already use to run their business.
"Avalara's goal is to make tax compliance as seamless and invisible as possible for merchants," said Evan Wright, GM of ATR, AI Content Solutions, and DAVO by Avalara. "By embedding our technology directly into Clover, we're helping businesses more easily manage complex tax requirements so they can focus on other areas of their business."
Merchants will also be able to automatically update sales tax rates within Clover using Avalara's trusted tax content, ensuring accuracy as rates and rules change while reducing manual effort and the risk of costly errors.
"Together with Avalara, we're simplifying sales tax compliance for Clover merchants, delivering automated sales tax compliance, reducing complexity and administrative work," said Will Karczewski, Senior Vice President and Global General Manager for Clover at Fiserv. "By easing this burden, we're helping small business owners spend more time on their customers and growing their business."
A key differentiator of the integration is automated daily sales tax set-aside. By separating tax funds from operating revenue, the solution eliminates the risk of mixing sales tax dollars with working capital and helps protect merchant cash flow. Funds are held securely in DAVO's holding account, and when taxes are due, DAVO files and remits on the merchant's behalf on time and in full, guaranteed.
This new embedded tax offering will launch later this year, and Avalara and Clover will continue to collaborate in future phases to include additional compliance capabilities, such as business license guidance and filing services.
